Whether you’re brand new to RVing or a seasoned traveler, preparation is the key to stress-free adventures. From packing the right essentials to inspecting a used RV before you buy, having the right checklists can save you time, money, and frustration.
To help RV owners travel with confidence, Bankston Motor Homes has created a set of practical, easy-to-use RV guides designed for real-world camping and ownership.
RV Essentials Checklist: Don’t Leave Home Unprepared
Packing for an RV trip is very different from packing for a hotel stay. The RV Essentials Checklist covers the must-have items every RVer should bring, including:
- Power, water, and sewer hookups
- Safety and emergency supplies
- Kitchen, bathroom, and living essentials
- Outdoor camping gear
This checklist is perfect for first-time RVers and a great refresher for experienced owners before a long trip.
RV Toolbox Checklist: Be Ready for the Road
Even well-maintained RVs can need minor adjustments or repairs while traveling. The RV Toolbox Checklist focuses on tools and supplies that help you handle common situations such as:
- Loose fittings or hardware
- Electrical and plumbing adjustments
- Tire, hitch, and leveling needs
- Basic maintenance and troubleshooting
Having the right tools onboard can turn a potential trip-ending problem into a quick fix.
Travel Trailer Setup & Tear Down Guide: Camp Like a Pro
Setting up and tearing down a travel trailer doesn’t have to be stressful. The Travel Trailer Setup & Tear Down Guide walks you through the entire process step-by-step, helping you:
- Safely level and stabilize your trailer
- Properly connect power, water, and sewer
- Avoid common setup mistakes
- Tear down efficiently when it’s time to leave
This guide is especially helpful for new travel trailer owners.
Used RV Inspection Checklist: Buy with Confidence
Buying a used RV can be a smart investment — but only if you know what to look for. The Used RV Inspection Checklist helps buyers evaluate critical areas, including:
- Exterior condition and signs of water damage
- Roof, seals, and slide-outs
- Appliances, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Interior wear and overall functionality
This checklist empowers buyers to ask the right questions and avoid costly surprises.
