This forum is for pre-trip routines, packing systems, and “I wish I knew this earlier” lessons that make weekends smoother.
Start Here (Post Prompt)
What’s your pre-trip routine — and what’s the one thing you never skip?
- Your tow vehicle: (make/model optional)
- Van model: (helps others match your setup)
- Your “15 minute” checklist: dot points are perfect
- Packing system: tubs/bags/labels/where things live
- Biggest lesson learned: something you forgot once (and never again)
Quick Guidelines
- Keep it practical: share steps, not just opinions.
- Include conditions: “Off-grid / powered site / with kids / solo / winter” changes everything.
- Safety: if you’re unsure about towing weights, brake controller setup, or anything safety-critical, ask questions before heading off.
- Photos welcomed: fridge packing, pantry tubs, recovery kit layouts, etc.
