We leave everything we can.
Ours is stored right next to our house, plugged in and ready.
We always have the beds ready to go and some clothing.
Fridge and freezer empty and off but for the most part we keep it
stocked and ready to except for say bread, chips, and other small items
Ours sits in the shade and temps rarely get high and it's always comfortable
inside the unit.


We do too. I built a storage shed for mine.

We take out all consumables and some toiletries, but everything else stays. I do laundry when we get home and put everything back into the trailer. We don't store it at home, so I don't want to have to drive back and forth to check on the supplies. We load food and clothing each time we go out. My husband removes the batteries and recharges them at home.

I used to keep the shower gels, shampoo and deodorant in the camper between trips. Then my deodorant melted. Now it (and all medicine cabinet items that cannot handle excess heat) comes out between trips.


Exactly. Anything and everything perishable will eventually be ruined. Some sooner than others.

all perishable food comes out on return from a trip.
all clothes come out for washing.

everything else stays. take out linens and wash and put back immediately so it is ready for next trip fast.

All needed setup equipment (equilizer bars, hoses, etc)

Garbage bags

I think that's it. We bring clothes and food the day of. Turn the fridge on and roll out. I will say, I've only had my camper a month so I've only used it in June and July so far.


Well you are off to a good start, time to add clothes, camping clothes basically personal hand me downs.
We also rotate in good DVDs games always there, not bad for the first month!!

it would take longer to hook the tt up to the truck than load everything.

food basics in there all summer, nothing in the winter

clothes, towels, bedding is always in there

and like a couple of others, we could stay in there during a power outage at home and have tv, heat and lights, no ac though

We do this all the time especially when we come home but leave the rv down south for a couple months. The only thing we have ever removed was perishable food. Everything else stays including cereal, soups and whatever products with shelf lives beyond our return. Never had an issue doing this at least the last 15 years that I can remember.
Exactly the same for us. We make sure our canned goods are within the expiration date.
