Why metal

A Checklist That Lives With Your RV

Most RVers run through the same steps every time they arrive at a campsite and every time they pack up to leave. An RV setup checklist and an RV departure checklist keep those steps in order, so the routine is the same whether it’s your first trip of the season or your fiftieth night on the road. This card puts both lists on a physical metal card that stays with the RV, instead of another printable sheet, laminated checklist or phone note.

  • Stays with the RV

    Keep it in a drawer, by the door or with your hookup gear, so it’s there at every stop.

  • Not another printout

    No paper sheet to misplace, reprint or tape to a cabinet. The checklist is engraved into the card.

  • No phone needed

    No app to open and no screen to unlock while you’re working outside. Just flip the card over.

  • Your steps, your order

    Order it as shown, or add, remove, rewrite or reorder items to match your RV and routine.

The actual designs

See the Design on Each Material

The same RV checklist is available on both card materials. Each material has its own version of the artwork, shown here as black on white so every line is easy to read. The Setup checklist is engraved on the front and the Departure checklist on the back.

Reusable checklist

Open Boxes You Can Mark as You Go

Mark It. Wipe It. Use It Again.

Keep the card handy while you set up camp and check off each step as it’s done.

The open boxes can be marked as you work through your checklist. Permanent marker can generally be removed from the metal surface with rubbing alcohol. Marker left on for an extended period, particularly after heat or sun exposure, may require additional cleaning and may be more difficult to remove. Test your marker and cleaning method on a small area first.

Choose your card

Anodized Aluminum or Stainless Steel

Both cards are 86 × 54 mm, the size of a credit card, and carry the same RV checklist on both sides. What changes is the look: each material has its own finish, so the engraving looks different on each one. Compare the two designs above, then pick the card you like.

Anodized Aluminum Card – 0.8 mm

The lighter of the two cards, available in several colors. The colors currently available are shown in the order form.

Stainless Steel Card – 1 mm

A thicker, heavier metal card with a classic stainless look.

Yes. Choose “Personalize or modify this design” and tell us what to change on the setup side, the departure side, or both. You can add, remove, rewrite or reorder items. We email a proof for your approval before engraving.

Will this checklist cover everything for my RV?

Not necessarily. The checklist shown is a general example and may not include every step required for your RV, equipment, campsite, or situation. Always follow the instructions and safety procedures for your RV and equipment, and customize the checklist to match your own RV and routine.

Do I get a proof if I order it exactly as shown?

Yes. In the order form, choose “I have my own checklist / information” to continue to our custom order form, where you can describe or upload your own design for either side.

How do I mark the checkboxes?

Mark the open boxes as you work through your checklist. Permanent marker can generally be removed with rubbing alcohol, but marker left on for a long time, especially after heat or sun exposure, may be harder to remove. Test your marker and cleaning method on a small area first.

86 × 54 mm, the same size as a credit card. The checklists run vertically on the card, one on each side.

Which material should I choose?

Both cards carry the same checklist. The 0.8 mm anodized aluminum card is lighter and comes in color options; the 1 mm stainless steel card is thicker and heavier. The engraving looks different on each material, so compare the two designs above. Current colors, quantities and prices are shown in the order form.

Safety first

A Reminder, Not a Replacement

A checklist card helps you follow your own routine the same way every time. It does not replace your RV’s owner’s manual, your equipment instructions or the rules at your campground.

The checklist shown is a general example and may not include every step required for your RV, equipment, campsite, or situation. Always follow the instructions and safety procedures for your RV and equipment. Customize the checklist to match your own RV and routine.

Your RV. Your Routine. Your Checklist.

Setup on one side, departure on the other, engraved in metal. Order it as shown or make it yours.
