RV Checklist

Before we leave home or a campground, we always run through our RV checklist. Prior to creating the RV checklist, we often overlooked something important that could have resulted in a dangerous or costly mistake. We all have stories to share – forgetting to latch the refrigerator and the mess we found when we arrived at the campground, not latching one of the storage doors with it flapping down the highway, leaving the steps down…I could go on and on. We often ran through a mental list, but you get in a hurry or just forget. Our aid was writing everything down and reviewing the list prior to leaving the campground. Our list has saved us more times than I want to admit and skipping this list usually leaves something important not done.

To help other RV’ers, we have added this list below. There’s a link where you can download the PDF and print the RV Checklist we use. We also expect some will need to add or delete some items for those who have smaller campers or travel in a Class A or C motor home. I also created a Google Sheet you can download and change for your needs. This link can also be found below the list.

Check out our RV Accessories page where we have listed a wide range of products from essential items to those “nice to have” RV products to make RV life more enjoyable. Every item listed is being used or has been used by Joan and I as we’ve traveled across the country in our RV.
