RV Pre-Trip Checklist
A practical departure checklist for motorhomes and towables. Adapt it to your rig and always follow your manufacturer’s procedures.

Hitching & towing
Utilities
Interior
Campsite departure
Use this as a template, not a substitute for your manuals. Every RV, tow vehicle, hitch and accessory can add manufacturer-specific steps. Add your own items before relying on the checklist.
Why a written checklist matters
RV departures involve dozens of low-frequency tasks. A repeatable checklist reduces reliance on memory when you are rushed, distracted or changing campsites often.
