When packing the RV, do not get tired halfway through and start randomly stuffing things wherever they will fit.

You will spend the next two weeks constantly searching for the one thing you need most. There will be one very important item that you cannot find even after tossing the whole RV, including that giant storage compartment underneath, so you’ll buy a new one.

The first one will then turn up with a smirk on its imaginary face when you’re unloading at the end of the trip.

Seriously. Organize before you leave.
