Drive Off Checklist

[Bigbird65]

OK, here is a little different DIY item. All of us run through a check list before we drive off with our trailer, or we should. Sometimes it is a mental check list and sometimes it is written down. I don't have the memory to not forget something and I hate written lists.

I use an app on my Samsung GS5 that I am really crazy about. It allows me to add items, edit items, delete items and sort. It is called Simple Notepad and there is a free download for it in the app store on my phone. Take a look at the link. Note: this is a free download for one list but for $2 (I think) you can make many lists.

There is also one called Checklist Again that I used to use with my iPhone 4.

Here is a set of screen prints from my GS5 phone so that you can see what it looks like.

Mike, that is very simple to do with Simple Notepad. Edit each item with a number in front of the text to signify the order to be checked. Then do a sort. The items will then show up in the correct numerical order. I may do that if I can figure which order I want them.

Some people are into lists but I agree with Dutchmen, walk around and look. Don't just look at a list, walk around the camper and look at it.

I use paper and can check off items as I go..and change the list as I want to.

My F 250 has one in the dash in the truck apps not complete but the most of the important stuff

I use Cozi app it is a shareable app. It has several types of lists
Shopping
To Do
Calendar

It can be brought up on phones, tablets, and PCS
Multiple lists can be made and called up on any device.

And the price is right - free - if you don't mind a few adds at the bottom of the seasons. Otherwise you can pay an annual fee for ad free an a few additional features.

Very nice, thanks! I hate paper lists, but I always have my phone with me.
