Editor's note: I asked the folks at Road Trip Rentals, one of our great partners and major prize sponsor for our 75th Anniversary celebration, to provide some tips about RVing and let you know a little about what they do.

Checklist’s can be an essential tool when planning your RV vacation.  You can search the Internet and find a billion different checklists.  If you have an I-phone you can even purchase an RV checklist app at the app store.  Nonetheless, the best checklist will be one you customize to fit your family needs.  We have included a few basic items to put on your RV-vacation checklist.  Feel free to add to or take away from this list as needed.
