Keeping RV Stocked

[Terier]

I used to keep my RV stocked for the next trip but have switched to keeping it semi-stocked instead. I switched to a different storage location about an half hour away. The little time I am using to stock the remaining items is off set by having the fridge turned on the day before, checking tire pressures and getting the RV washed prior to my arrival.

We try to keep ours stocked, but I find that we will "rob" items from the camper if we run out in the house. Toothpaste, soap, ketchup, etc, are the usual offenders.

Regarding the clothes - we pack in the days leading up because, like someone else said, we are never sure what the weather is going to be like and we have limited storage space in the 2306.

We keep toiletries and bedding in camper all the time. Clothing we typically pack the night before and just haul it to the camper. We have 2 sets of bedding so we can take one set home after a trip and wash it. We have to keep our camper in a storage lot so we have to travel to it anyway, it's too big to bring it the house. All our food usually has to go in coolers and be hauled to camper. We figure we have to wash the clothes at home so might as well just just take them out with is for each trip.

I'm keeping ours stocked. - from now on!
We haul at lest once an month and have a seasonal which means on a nice night we could not go home.

last weekend i found that I had one tshirt and no underwear.
Told DW that would be fine if she didn't have any undergarments and only one shirt lol (NOTE - only one of us did that) but not me. Especially if I;m working on the trailer in my afternoon time.

so now a bag with work cloths and decent cloths - underwear included is packed for tomorrow night when we go out to the lake.

I try to keep ours stocked with non essentials and the important stuff like T.P.
Moving towards keeping some nonperishables in the pantry and some extra clothes so that it won't take me a week to get everything packed up the night before.
Turn on the fridge a couple of days before hand so that the adult beverages can get chilled .

It's all still a work in progress, of course.

We keep bedding, towels, toiletries, and all camping stuff year round in the TT.
Every spring Break we take the camper to a CG and stock it with all the food stuffs from Wally World or Commissary. I use that time to go through all the systems and make sure everything is working right. Added bonus is I'm usually near 3 RV parts and service centers if something is broke.
I keep jeans, slacks, shorts, t-shirts, polos, 1 button down shirt, sweatshirt, underwear and socks and 1 tie. Combined w/ what I have on I'm good for a week in any type of trip and can stay indefinitely if needed.

My stuff is already tucked neatly in a cabinet in the TT from less than 24 hours ago. DW waits till 1 hour before SCHEDULED departure to pack. Then complains I'm rushing her, can't find the specific outfit she wants, and hauls out a suitcase I swear DOES have the kitchen sink in it. So I'm tripping over the suitcase the entire trip. ACTUAL departure is always different than SCHEDULED.

Any items removed between trips is written on a list in the camper and brought back when preparing for the next trip. Foods devoured by teenaged garbage disposals (sleepovers) are written on the list and restocked each week with the local grocery store trip.

End of season, usually November, foods and freezables are brought inside and consumed.

Here's a list of stuff DW packs (so far takes every single day of her life):

A) Everything we own.

Our camper is completely stocked with non-perishables. We just stock the refrigerators and freezer before every trip. We used to have the luxury of it being parked next to our house in the lot next door, but that opportunity dried up. So now we have to store it off site with no hook up, so the refers and freezer have to be cleaned out every trip (what a PAIN!).

We keep jackets, rain suits, cold weather gear in the camper all the time. We both seem to have t-shirts, etc. that are "camper only." But we will have to grab a few items of clothing before every trip. The camper has its own set of linens. And all the paper items are already stocked - TP, paper plates, paper towels, etc. And of course, the "adult refreshments" are always in the outside kitchen.

I've been married long enough to know if my wife wants to pack just before we leave....then she packs just before we leave. We have never left late

We keep most non perishables stocked in the MH at all times, but I have learned that some things, like shampoo, lotions, toothpaste, can solidify in the Arizona desert heat, so many of those find their way back into the house between travels.

[Santabobswife]

We keep everything we need to leave at a moment's notice almost. Essentials like TP, cleaners, etc. are always checked to ensure we have enough on hand. Have a check list. Extra clothes and non perishables always in there. Since we had the RV barn built, the fridge stays on, so even frozen foods are pretty much stocked. Love camping.

[RollingDownTheHighway]

we keep ours stocked with dry goods, towels, utensils, etc. between trips. The only thing we load up is food and clothes.

You're right I should have stated scheduled departure got rescheduled. Because Mama is never wrong, I just was mistaken about which time zone to use.

[Cut_un]

Ours is fully stocked for the most part and clothes wise.. We have a few clothes staying in the trailerfor a sudden weather change.. We do still .. Check the weather the day before and add a few clothes to what stays in the trailer!

At the end of season everything comes into the house and is used up. Fresh start in the spring.

So from one trip to the next all we have to worry about is what to eat and what to wear.

Our motorhome has it's own towels, sheets, cookware, everything like a house. We just pack our clothes and perishable foods when we take a trip. It's parked on our driveway, so it's easy to get ready to go.

We have all the stuff to "Live" in our trailer, in our trailer all the time. My wife doesn't like to keep food even if non perishable or sealed in the RV, so it became her job to stock it up and I will occasionally empty it out when we get home. Otherwise it's just clothes and toys for the baby that move in and out!

March through October we keep ours ready to go. That is from me coming home on a Friday and back the truck up to it hook up and go. We may stop for pop and bread. But that's about it. We keep laundry detergent in the camper and wash all our stuff after each trip before we come home. October till march we just get all the food out and shut down for winter

We keep everything except perishable foods on our TT. Weather can change quickly so we're prepared for that as well. Storage is limited but with the use of space saver bags and a 1 1/2 gal shop vac we keep on board, we can fit more in the drawers and closet. That goes for bedding, blankets, towels and clothes. We keep a weeks worth of clothes on the TT.

We keep the usual kitchen and bath items stocked in the trailer. We load up the clothes and bed linens a couple days before we leave. I turn the fridge on too. The food is stocked the day we leave because we live in the country and I don't want to give mice the opportunity to get into the trailer. I've heard that dryer sheets with peppermint oil in the pantry can eliminate mice issues, anyone had any experience with that?
