A couple of things i have learned...
Meal planning : I do it in advance, keep some staple dry goods in the trailer (spaghetti, sauce, mac/cheese, some cereal in containers... We are breakfast/dinner eaters... so we plan those meals and snack for lunch...
Kids and their SHTUFF: The only thing they bring is an iPad (ya ya ya, i know... wow an ipad. in our home i retire old KIT to the kids.... ( I have in the bunk ward (3bunk) a headlamp, a hipsack and bug net/grasshopper cage for each bunk... Let the kids explore. use the imagination... ipad is for quiet time and weather stuff... outside!!
Dad/ Hubby: beer..... lol
I walked around my rig and jotted down a quick list of little stuff. I bought a small tacklebox. small.... i put self tapping screws, wing nuts (the other ones.. not the DW and kids) a driver bit, and few other screws and stuff to have to keep things together. a tube of sealant, a pair of crescent wrenches and a 12v kit (multimeter, are, fuses, tape, wire nuts)
Mom/ raddest wife ever: i let her decide what stuff she needed. kitchen and bath wise. (VITAMIX) gotta have a 'rita
I keep the rig running and handle all the plumbing.elec. truck stuff.
It took a year of using it.... and now it is basically... meal plan. load the food/ a few clothes and go.
