about our third time out with the new trailer i had moved it from the side of the garage to the drivew.., URR eheemm "crib" while we finished packing. (for you Fatdog) LOL
we got to the family farm and found i had forgot the power cord for the trailer. OOOOOps.
now my wife swares she pointed it out ot me and asked if we needed it. I dont recall that though, i must have been selectively hearing her at that point.
My sister-in-law had to drive 40 minutes out of her way to bring it to us. it was a 3 day weekend too. that would not have been fun.
Coco saved the day for us and the wife has been assigned the task of grabbing me by the ears, looking me straight in the eyes and asking "did you bring the power cord?"

We forgot the can opener one time when we were tent camping. Luckily fellow campers are always so friendly, they loaned us theirs. Otherwise, we would have gone hungry.

When we were tent camping we got to the campground and realized we had no tentpoles. So we went to a store picked up some nylon string and tied 4 corners to 4 trees and laughed about it all weekend.

Living in Minnesota sometime in the mid 80's we were tent campers then. Had reservations at Hennepin State Park on Lake Mille Lacs for Memorial Day Weekend.
We drove north from Minneapolis and after arrival discovered we had left both suitcases at home. So no change of clothes, and worse even, no blankets.
It got down to the 40's that night and man were we cold! Next day (Saturday) we found some blankets and clothes at yard sales in town.

Back in the day, when I was about 12 years old, our family went on a cross country trip. We loaded into our Ford Ranch Wagon, pulling a 1973 23ft Prowler TT and headed east. 500 Miles later Mom found she had forgotten to pack clothing for all five of us kids!

I figure if I remember beer and my hormones, the weekend will be okay.
That said, I print my Camping Checklist - developed over the years - every trip, whether it is for a weekend or a month. It is two pages and has areas for menu/food planning, plus a page of everything that needs to be in the RV. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Great idea.
Share your checklists peeps!!!
Newbies like me could use the advice!!

We have not loaded the motorhome for full-timing yet so we have to think about it when we go for a long weekend.
On a recent trip I forgot to bring drinking glasses. But I remembered the coffee mugs so morning coffee was great. And guess what? Our happy hour beverages tasted just as good as usual in coffee mugs.

Don't tell anyone, but when we arrived at ABC campground in Branson last July, our first item on the to-do list was go buy me some skivvies. Seems I left the RV supply at home in the dryer. That doesn't sound to bad---but--I've been camping for about 40 years to date.

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Well, this is a really old thread but since it is still here....
We were on our way to Niagara Falls (about 3 hours from home) when my then 10 yr old pointed out that she had left her retainer at home. We were going to be gone for 2 weeks and not wearing it wasn't an option. She was wearing it 24/7 at that point. So we had to call our aunt and ask her to get it for us and overnight it. It cost us about $40 and ended up taking 4 days to get there.</span>

Hi All,
Hey Lil'Darlin1972, I was just wondering if it was sent overnight for $40, why did it take 4 days to get there, and did you get any type of refund?

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Gotta love UPS. They said it takes longer for international shipping (Mi to Niargara Falls, ON). I was just in the UPS store last week mailing a package(On a Thursday). The contents were worth about $25. My options were one day shipping for $14 (which meant it would get there on Monday) or regular ground shipping for $8 which would get it there Monday or Tuesday. I have no idea how they come up with their shipping times. I sent it regular gound and it did get there on Tuesday. </span>

We did a big Christmas trip to Key West and told the kids to pack their Wii since they were asking Santa for a Wii game for Christmas. They packed the Wii but forgot the remotes. They opened their Christmas presents but couldn't play the game until they got home. Guess they learned a good lesson

We tried to get money back from the USPS on an overnight envelope that took 4 days to deliver. Seems the USPS delivered to the wrong address...our daughters campus PO Box when we plainly had the dorm address and room. Claimed they do not deliver to dorms. Sounded like meadow muffins to me, but they never refunded our overnight fee. Last time we used USPS for any overnight or any other parcels, etc. We go ahead and use UPS of Fed-X.
UPS did not have a problem with the dorm address.
