    Since using and maintaining an RV involves plenty of tasks and procedures, it’s best to have some sort of RV Checklist. You may have an excellent memory, but even the best of us can forget something, usually when you’re tired after a long day’s travel or it’s dark and raining.

    Most likely of all, the friendly RV site neighbor decides to talk your ear off while you’re setting up or breaking camp.

    UPDATE: 2022 Our 11-year-old iPad has finally died, and it looks like the IOS app we were using is no longer available. So, I located and bought an Android App called ChecklistPro from Adventure Trek. It seems to do the job. You can create/edit or export lists in CSV format to share or edit on a computer and import them back to the app.

    I made an excel spreadsheet with my checklist but also everything I need before we head out. I list everything from wheel chocks to our air fryer to the tools I might need. I just print out the list and leave it in the garage to check off everything I have added. I also leave it in the camper for my arrival and leaving checklist. I will be looking at your list and app to see if will work better for me. Thanks!

    Last item on our departure checklist (and the most important) is kiss the driver.

    I use Microsoft To Do app for my lists. (Have used for years - even before Microsoft purchased.). It is a free app. I have it on my iPhone, iPad and Mac computer. If I update a list on any device, it updates on others. Stored in the cloud - and local to the device so can access when not connected to the internet. I can also share my lists. I use it for all kinds of lists; even for groceries. Great app!
