Need-A-Vacation
Sep 04, 2015Explorer
Because we are "on vacation" when camping, we use paper plates and plastic silverware. Only dishes we do are what was needed to cook- cooking utinsels, skillet, etc. No plates or silverware! Lol
Only when we have a "big meal" do we have a few more dishes, like when we have deep fried a turkey, or like this w/e, the smoker goes along. This time is a pork butt being cooked Fri night for dinner Sat!
Make sure you have everything for grilling or cooking- spatula, tongs, bbq fork, etc....
Ladle is needed once in a while.
Meat thermometer.
Trying to think of what else we have! I lnow my wife has some glass pans I want to ditch for a couple basic cake pans- used for when she makes stuffing (even if we aren't having turkey!), or to put the bacon/sausage.
Some plastic containers w/ lids/ zip lock bags to store the extra food in.
Aluminum foil
Salt/ pepper/ favorite seasoning
Outside:
Camp chairs
Ez-Up?
Fire tongs and poker
Awning mat
Sewer hose/ fresh water hose, 30 amp extension cord
You mentioned chocks, leveling blocks/ boards, x-chocks- only set x-chocks after trailer is leveled and tires chocked!!!
Aluminum roll top table- we have two- pack up just like a bag chair!
Grill
Camp Chef 2 burner stove
Lighter(s)- for inside also if needed
Don't forget the dish soap, hand/ bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc! It happens! First basic trip in our Jayco (just wife and I- no kids) she forgot to pack the dish soap as we loaded the trailer the morning after we picked it up, and then left for a short w/e trip.
Extra blankets and towels- kitchen, bath, wash cloths, bath mat, etc.
Make sure you have the correct equipment to change a tire. Jack, wrench for the lug nuts, board(s) for the jack to sit on....
Games and paper to keep score if needed.
About all I have for now!
Have fun on the maiden voyage!!!
