Less “what did we forget?” More open road.
A practical departure checklist for vanlife weekends, RV travel, bus and skoolie trips. Check things off as you go, or print a blank copy to keep in your rig.
Use this as a starting point and adapt it to your vehicle, destination, season and group. Follow your vehicle’s manual and local guidance.
How to use this road-trip checklist
Start with the route, then work through the vehicle, packing and arrival checks. Tick an item when it is handled or does not apply to your trip. Your checks are saved only in this browser when browser storage is available.
Can I save it as a PDF?
Yes. Select “Print or save as PDF,” then choose your browser’s PDF destination. The printed list includes your current checks. Use “Clear all checks” first if you want a blank copy. Browser printing also works without JavaScript.
What should I add for my trip?
Adapt the list for cold weather, remote travel, pets, children and the needs of your group. Check your vehicle’s manual, campsite requirements and local conditions before setting out.
Find places. Meet your people.
