Raven’s RV
The ongoing education and adventures of two rank newbie RVers

1. Do all your dish washing and putting away the previous night. You won’t have time in the morning.

2. If you can, dump your tanks the previous night, too. It takes a while and eats into your nice fresh daylight.

3. Place all the loose kitchen trays into the sink for transit, and put bathroom trays away.

4. Tie down everything that you think will come loose with bungee cords.

5. Ensure that all closets are shut and that the toilet seat is down. (Last time, the toothbrush ended up on the ground, not down the loo…but still!

6. Make sure that you have disconnected all hook-ups, put up the awnings and raised the jacks.

7. Set an alarm clock an hour prior to check-out to help give you a kick in the patootie if needed.

8. Make sure your cats are corralled into the cage/s well in advance. Otherwise, you’ll be playing hunt-the-moggie.

9. Retract the TV antenna.

10. Lock down the fridge. (There is a slide bolt to ensure that it won’t swing open.)

11. Close windows, especially those right next to the exhaust/s.

12. Take a picture of your camp for posterity, if you didn’t already.

13. Swing by the front office, especially if you have feedback or equipment to return.
