New Camper. 55 years old. Never camped in my life that I can recall. Just bought a Rockwood A122 (2018) and will take delivery in about a week. Right after that I'm hitting the road for a shakedown cruise.
Here's my plan for the first go around. I am going to go to the local campground and do a 2 night stay. This affords me the opportunity to run back home in the event I have the "OMG I forgot something vital" thing.
I've been trying to rack my brains and figure out what the vital things are. I think I have it all covered but want some advice.
Recreational stuff. Taking a folding bicycle for fun.
Paper plates, silverware, drinking glass. Need to figure out the coffee thing. Need a really small coffee maker I guess which I don't have. (See, just writing about it and thinking it through helps )
Change of clothes.
Trash can / bags
charcoal / lighter fluid
meat in zip lock bags
Pots and pans (1 of each).
Dog water dish (taking the dog)
cooler with water/drinks
laptop with Software defined radio (SDR) and TV dongle for nighttime viewing
Small shovel and basic tools
Shaving kit.
Maybe a few blocks or hunks of wood to put the leveling jacks on.
Obviously propane will be topped off and I'll have all the requisite connectors for water and power.
I have a generator, a 7500 watt gas powered however I don't think I'd need it in a campground. I think I'd need to be boon docking way way out before I'd fire that loud thing up. For now at least I'm going to be a campground camper.
Ok veterans ..........please tell me what I'm missing.
