After almost 6
years of fulltiming, I am often asked for tips to help the
newbie hit the road. I believe following a checklist is an
important part of the process. It's always a good idea to
review safety steps no matter how many times you've performed
them. I share things learned from my own experience (sometimes
found out the "hard way"). I also had lots of good
expert input from those more experienced in areas less familiar
to me. An RV salesman with over 20 years experience helped
with the PDI process, a long-time trailer and 5th wheel tower
overlooked that section. These lists were designed to
be easy to use, broken down into four stages so you can print
out just exactly what you need along the way. Below is a recap
of the kind of checklists included and the type of information
provided.

You might as well do this now while you're stocking it

A
few comments from purchasers:
"Nice
JOB! ....We're getting a 5th wheel and...there's so
much to prepare for, especially selling everything we
own. Thank you for a great check list. I put it in a
plastic folder. DM
Because
I am prior Air Force (31 years), I LOVE working off
of checklists – and I really like yours and your
website! CS
I
am in the process of shopping for a used RV, so my focus
right now is on your comparison checklist for buying
pre-owned. I appreciate the format and your experience;
you saved me from making my own table or Excel checklist.

Your
list was great. While the dealer did a great job in
covering everything, having your checklist to review
was perfect. MJ
Review
from fulltimerblog.com:
"Everyone
who owns a motorhome or RV knows the value of checklists.
Without checklists, there is going to be such a higher
chance of you losing something, forgetting something
at your last campsite, or worse- causing damage to your
RV or Motorhome from forgetting some simple maintenance
before hitting the road. Now,
not only are checklists important, but for you to get
the most out of those checklists, you need to be able
to print them in bulk and on demand.
With
regular printed books, you just can only write on the
checklist so many times. Maybe 2 or 3 times at best
before you’re asking yourself, “Why did I
get this book?“. But,
and this is where eBooks are actually superior to older
bound books, with ebooks you can print out any page
hundreds- even thousands- of times. So
if you are the type of RVer who just loves to have that
checklist on how to Flush the Septic System but you
don’t need the checklist for Pre-Planning Your
Used RV Purchase, then forget the latter and print 10
of the first one. It’s a custom ebook, built for
you.
Now
the best ebook I’ve come across for RV, Motorhomes,
Travel Trailers, Class A B and C’s, Camper Vans,
and 5th Wheels is hands down Malia’s RV Checklists.
She’s
got all the checklists, updated, and it’s CHEAP
too. It’s only $11.95, and you’ll get paid
for that ebook purchase hundreds of times over in return."
