Many of you have asked for some sort of RV pre-departure checklist. So we made a quick video with some ideas. These are several of the issues we address before setting sail.

One of the unfortunate truisms of RV adventure, and travel in general, is that you often only discover what you need once you truly need it. But it’s useful to anticipate the most likely trouble spots. The old Boy Scout motto applies here. If you can “be prepared” for the most prominent trouble areas, you are more likely to have an enjoyable trip.

With regard to packing and organizing, we have done a separate video about that topic. Our mission this year is actually to bring less! After several years of travel with our Airstream, this spring we decluttered many of those storage compartments and cubbyholes. We’re hoping that less stuff translates into a more organized and pleasant journey.
