Continuing with the theme of checklists, Forest River RV has put together a very comprehensive list of personal items to try not to forget. We usually try to leave as many of these things in the RV as we can, so that we can pack and go as quickly and easily as possible. Once the items are in the camper permanently, I take them off the “pack” list. I’ll make a list of expendables to get for the next trip, as well.
When it’s time to go camping, depending on your personal preferences, there will be many items you can choose to bring along to make your trip more comfortable. See the Owner’s Manual for a detailed list but the following is an abbreviated overview of these personal use items:
