What decides this list

Half of this list is not packing at all, it is the vehicle. Hoses, cables, levelling blocks and tank chemicals are things a tent camper never thinks about and an RV cannot manage without, so they sit at the top rather than buried under the bedding.

The thing most often left behind

The water pressure regulator and a spare hose washer. Both are small, both live with the vehicle rather than the camping kit, and one missing washer means a wet locker.

A habit worth having

Run the departure half of the list as a walk-round, in order, ending at the hitch. Most of what goes wrong on an RV trip is something left connected or unlocked, and a walk-round catches it in the order you meet it.

What is on it

6 sections and 39 items to start from: departure checks, hook-ups and utilities, levelling and setup, kitchen and living, tools and spares, documents. All of it is editable, so treat it as a starting point rather than a rule. The things worth adding are the ones no list can know: medication, whatever the dog needs, and the one piece of gear you always forget.

The general camping checklist is the balanced version for a weekend at a site with facilities. For the journey there, road trip games and travel forms cover the car, and scavenger hunts work well once you have arrived.

Yes, completely. The page opens on the rv camping list, but every section and every item can be edited, removed or added to, and you can switch to any of the other trip types without losing your edits. What you type is kept in your browser, so a half-built list survives closing the tab.
