What do you leave in RV

I'm actually glad this is posted as we're slowing adding things that stay so far this is what our camper is filled with:

TP, shower gels, shampoo, black tank tabs, deodorant, and some anti-moisture box
Paper towels
All kitchen needs (cups, bowls, plates, utensils, spices)
Playing cards, some board games, a DVD
All needed setup equipment (equilizer bars, hoses, etc)
linens
Level
Garbage bags
dog poop bags
broom
roll up outdoor mat

I think that's it. We bring clothes and food the day of. Turn the fridge on and roll out. I will say, I've only had my camper a month so I've only used it in June and July so far.

Well you are off to a good start, time to add clothes, camping clothes basically personal hand me downs.
We also rotate in good DVDs games always there, not bad for the first month!!

it would take longer to hook the tt up to the truck than load everything.

food basics in there all summer, nothing in the winter

clothes, towels, bedding is always in there

and like a couple of others, we could stay in there during a power outage at home and have tv, heat and lights, no ac though

We do this all the time especially when we come home but leave the rv down south for a couple months. The only thing we have ever removed was perishable food. Everything else stays including cereal, soups and whatever products with shelf lives beyond our return. Never had an issue doing this at least the last 15 years that I can remember.

Exactly the same for us. We make sure our canned goods are within the expiration date.

Its nice to leave as much stuff in there as we can. Last winter, we had a bad ice storm and sure enough, the power went out all over the area due to ice covered tree limbs taking out power lines. It was so cold and all we had to do was walk out to the camper, fire up the generator, turn on the heat and pop in a DVD. :)

We also leave food in fridge. Mostly condiments and things like salt, pepper, and sugar we put in the fridge just to keep the ants off.

Everything left in but all food is taken out.

When we come back from camping, the tanks are dumped, including remaining fresh which is refilled. Clothes are restocked along with anything else needed. On the way to storage, Diesel and LP (if needed) are topped off. When stored it is 100% ready to go sans cold food.

We leave everything but opened food, fridge stuff and clothes.

Leaving paper products (TP, PT, etc) can be a problem if you get critters inside the rig. They will use the paper to make nests and the associated mess. Over the winter, I remove all organics.

I store my TT in a shed on my farmsite. I leave everything in there except in the winter. Then I remove the canned food
