The BrakeAways

Anyone prepared to share their "pre trip" Bushtracker preparation checklist or their "before moving off (from a camp site)" checklist (to ensure the van and tow vehicle are safe and all secured before heading out on the road for the day). I've ordered my 20 ft Bushtracker but haven't received it yet. I'm a list sort of person and am keen to learn from the mistakes and experience of others, rather than having to make them myself!

Hi,

I have what I consider to be a very good checklist which is a compilation of many checklists. It is in Excel format and we use the same list for about "x" times and then print a new one. It covers both the van and the truck. Anyone wanting a copy send me their email address and I will respond with an attachment: jay@luvntravln.com

cheers, Jay
