Free printable checklist

Before the next mile.

A general travel-day organizer you can adapt to your RV, tow vehicle, and travel crew.

YOUR FREE FIRST-TRIP KIT

Start close to home. Learn as you go.

Make your first outing at the campground closest to home, where it is easier to sort out the things you missed. Make the second trip a farther one once you have worked out the kinks.

Use these four PDFs and two planning tools right away. No email or account required. Read the first-trip guide for a walkthrough.

  1. Check the campground fit

    Ask about space for your full rig, the final approach and the arrival plan before you book.

  2. Make a small trip plan

    Keep your stops, arrival details and fuel assumptions together. Enter mileage you have independently checked.

  3. Share the departure jobs

    Work through your equipment-specific checks, decide who handles each job and leave time for one final walk-around.

Use your vehicle, RV, hitch and appliance manuals for the exact checks and sequence. The tools do not generate directions or verify RV clearance. Tool entries are cleared when you leave the page; download a filled PDF to keep a copy.
