The kids are almost out of school and longer daylight hours are right around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll need for your upcoming summer RV trips. You can save yourself a lot of time and energy by using a handy RV packing checklist as you prepare for your departure. A packing checklist will prevent extra trips to the store, and additional money spent on the road, by helping you to make sure you have everything you need before you pull out of the driveway.
