Next month we'll be getting our RVs ready for weekends and weeks of camping.  Now there's nothing more annoying than having a break down and wasting precious vacation time fixing what ever broke.  The frustration of setting up camp and your wife telling you that there's no hot water can ruin any outing.  What if you have to leave the camp site and someone else has to hook up your rig and move it, would they know how?   Here are a few of my "to do" check lists for truck and trailer.  Since I pull a boat trailer behind my 5th wheel those check lists are here also.  Comment on any steps that I might have missed or that are pertinent to your RV set up.  These files are in Micro Soft Excel.    

1. Trailer Inspection---Start a few weeks before leaving CHECK LIST #1A.xlsx
2. Truck Inspection---Start a few weeks before leaving CHECK LIST #2A.xlsx  
3. Boat prep---Start  a few weeks before leaving CHECK LIST #3A.xlsx
4. Boat trailer---Start a few weeks before leaving CHECK LIST #4A.xlsx
5. Pre trip truck inspection---Day before leaving CHECK LIST #5A.xlsx

That would be a nice addition to the RV /Trailer article base.

I have to agree, having a written check list is a good idea. It's so easy to overlook things

I keep a checklist in the back of the map book on the seat and check down the list before leaving. Things like thermos, food, clothes, cell phone charger, money and false teeth. has come in real handy.
