I live by lists and after over 50 years of camping/RVing, I have made a lot of them. We travel on a budget and don't like to run into WalMart or whatever for things we already have. Google "camping lists" or "RV camping lists" and you will come up with a selection of ready-made ones. Then, look them over and cross out or add to meet your needs. Try to use items for more than one function, especially clothes. Canned and bottled food and drink are heavy and they can be purchased along the way but I take staples and foods that we especially like. A "shake-down" trip where you make a list of everything you need that you did not bring and leave behind what you did not use can be helpful. lizzie
