Whether you are a first time RV traveler, or a seasoned pro, an RV trip checklist can be invaluable. While a lot of the items on a checklist may seem obvious, the value in having and using a list like this can’t be understated. Your trip checklist should include items like clothing, food and drinks, eating utensils, towels and wash cloths, and more. To help get you started, we’ve provided a checklist below, and at the bottom have a downloadable pdf you can print and use.
Be sure to check off items from your list when you pack them in your bags or place them in your motorhome/RV.
