GENERAL CHECKLIST
If you ’ ve ever pulled out of your driveway or from an overnight stay and had a nagging thought down the road that you ’ ve forgotten something , you ’ ll agree that a trusty general checklist can be handy .
But rather than having one massive checklist , we think you ’ re better off creating a number of smaller checklists and dividing each into different areas . For example , have one checklist that covers the caravan ’ s interior , another for the exterior , and another for your vehicle , etc ., Aim to limit each list to a single A4 page .
As for the frequency with which you refer to it , that depends on your own routine and how good your memory is . Something like a simple “ before we drive off ” style of list might only need to be checked the first day you leave . Although , if you have a habit of forgetting to check things like whether the stabiliser legs are up or the hatches and awnings are locked , then you might want to use the checklist each time you depart .
CATEGORIES
Besides the general checklist , you could categorise further , drilling into certain areas so that you ’ re better covered . Here are a few category ideas to get you started :
Keep the checklist in a place for easy access .
