Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I don't have any myself that are online, but a couple of years ago we printed/laminated a few checklists based off of our commonly used gear for the main bins we toss into the trucks... One for camping gear, the other for kitchen stuff. Sometimes we'll still forget stuff, but having it be laminated and living in the boxes helps keep stuff sort of ready. And we can check off stuff.
We're both from a backpacking background so we had a spreadsheet with gear/weight/temps/etc already and we started moving stuff from those lists into our gear lists and refined them over time.

good idea....especially this year. we normally keep our camp trailer ready to go, but not only have we not used it this year, due to the pandemic and the initial lockdown, we had been pulling things out of it early on and using it as convenience store on wheels. we definitely need to run a check list on it prior to a trip and might even go as far as to do a test run at home where we will cook a meal and sleep in it for a few hours to make sure we have it close to 100%.
last trip we did 10 days in north georgia and prior to, i had modified the LP tank bracket and location and had put the LP hose and regulator in the garage and forgot i put it there. we left thinking the hose was in a storage bin in the camper and it wasnt. had we done a quick test run, that would have been caught before leaving.
after all the inactivity and chaos the last 9 months, im definitely going with a check list instead of winging it from memory...

lol, I'm usually the more needy one on trips. My partner is the type where she can just grab her stuff and go whenever wherever, I usually like to have some stuff prepped and bring some comfy gear. On the other side, I'm usually the one doing the dumb stuff on our trips and taking bigger risks so it prob evens out in the end...Yeah my Backpacking list was an outline I used for packing for overlanding also.
