I use a spreadsheet checklist, developed on Open Office, a free downloadable clone of Microsoft Works. If you would like a copy of it for reference, PM me with an email address and I'll send it to you. You can tailor it to your own needs.

Thanks for all the responses. Sounds as if I have coffee, beer, and a sense of humor everything will be good!

There ya go Skinnyman.

Load up what you would normally take tent camping, less the tent
If you survived tent camping, you will be fine with the TT.
Chocks and some wood or plastic leveling blocks to get the camper level are needed. Don't want to have it roll away or do any damage to the frig if your not on a fairly level campsite.
Camp someplace close to shopping and having pad and paper to make a list of needs as you realize you need something are both pieces of good advise.

Keep that sense of humor and excitement on the new camper and use it as much as you can and you'll be stocked with everything you need within a half dozen trips.

Hope your travels are safe and the friendships made camping are lasting.

We always make sure we have something for dinner with us for the first night. And also something for breakfast the next morning. That way we dont have to stop on the way or worry about getting to our destination late.

The over night stay in the driveway was supposed to happen tonight but the shank for the W/D hitch was wrong. Won't be able to take delivery until Monday evening now. So goes life.

It has almost been covered: beer, coffee, bacon and I will add s'more fixings. Throw in pillows and toothbrushes and you will be fine.

We use most of the stuff we used when tent camping, especially when dry camping. We also have a Coleman Coffeemaker that we can put on the stove when we're dry camping. Don't leave home without it! I also value my nonstick skillet. It's so much easier to clean.
