This will be my first real long RV trip since i bought my class B . last
year.   Does anyone have a comprehensive checklist they can post ?   Any
specific instructions , tips that can be offered ?  Thank you.

There is so much to see and do in the Southwest that it's hard to know what
to say without knowing your interests.  Tucson and the Desert Museum, Zion,
Arches, Canyonland, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Carlsbad Caverns -  Anasazi
ruins like Canyon de Chelly, Aztec... if you include Nevada in the
southwest, then there's Las Vegas, Valley of Fire... whatever you do, you'll
not be able to do it all and you will enjoy it.  My husband and I have a
Class B also - if this is your first time in one, you will need to pack
carefully and shop more often than in a larger rig.

Hi Judy, Thanks for the info.  Actually, when i said tips ...i was
referring to packing and taking along things which i may not have
thought of.  But the info on Arizona you gave was good.  Ive been to AZ
about 8 times on vacations over the years, so,  i almost feel like a
native.  Its a nice part of the USA.  Ill be staying 'south' so i can
keep warm -- leaving Illinois in Dec. it will probably be very cold so i
want it warm .   I have a used CoachHouse class b. that i bought last
summer 2004 . Love it.  Take care, Dave

Dave,

The good news is if you do forget something you aren't going where you
can't buy what you forgot.

Take less than you think you need.  Take any prescription meds.

And, if there is somebody at the home end, a cell phone to call for what you forgot and do
not want to buy.

I heard Paul Harvey say that if you have your prescriptions at Walgreens,
they can call your "home" store and fill your prescriptions at any Walgreens
in the U.S.
This sounds like the perfect place for RV'ers.

Walmart does too. Actually, you can bring a prescription bottle into
any Walmart, Walgreens, CVS etc and they will fill the prescription,
it doesn't have to have started in one of their chains.

Generally, it is true that you can bring your prescription bottle into
any pharmacy in the country for refills. They get the prescription
transferred to them and fill it. We have done it all over the country.

However, there are state laws that can get in the way. We had some
prescriptions written in NY. When we traveled to the next state, as I
recall they told us they could give us only one refill and that the
prescription would be ineligible for more refills anywhere after that. A
pharmacy tech in Indiana told me recently that every pharmacist in the
country knows about New York's peculiar regs about prescriptions. There
are probably other restrictive state laws of that kind out there, so
plan ahead.

We have ours filled all the time when traveling at Walgreen's, Rite Aid,
Wallmart, or other large chain pharmacies.  Not a problem.

Sunday clothes.
Book of Mormon.
Cell phone.
Case of motor oil.

Tips: Do a Mapquest or Google before you go. Plan your route. Keep your cell
phone charged. Don't try to push for speed, that's when stuff breaks. Check
all the fluids every day. Pray three times a day, and bless your food.

Maybe dave will get lucky and hook up with a nice young faggot to keep
him warm at night

Or, even better, become a victim of road rage and be found chopped into
little pieces in his burned out piece of crap rv

Oddly, this site doesn't mention its tax exempt status like most
legitimate charity sites.

Perhaps we can view the story of dave's demise on CSI this Fall?

itinerant traveler found in his burned out RV with boxes of kiddy-porn,
bondage equipment, and loads of fundy Xtian literature"
