Thanks for the quick responses! We have our passports already (thanks to the Coast Guard that provided those for free for the whole family since we are moving as part of a PCS).
We plan on doing a "dry run" by camping in our driveway for a day and night as soon as we get a new battery and fill up the propane. I'm going to keep a running list of anything we have to run into the house or garage for. We are going to be living in the camper for 30 days, possibly more. Leaving one home on June 29 and getting to our new town on July 30. We're not sure if the base will have a house ready for us to move in to right away or if we'll need to stay in our camper for longer until housing is ready. I want to have everything we need, but since there will be 5 people and a big fat dog living in cramped quarters for so long there won't be a lot of extra space, I don't want to take anything that isn't absolutely necessary. I've found the FAQ for newbies and have bookmarked the really great thread about checklists. This forum is SO helpful, I hope we meet a bunch of folks just like you all on the road!
