Jim-
Congratulations on you new purchase. Richard Cochran's website
includes some nice ideas on how to "fine tune" your new evc, if you
are
so inclined. In addition, he has a list of supplies, etc. he takes
when camping: . Of
course, every owner's camping list will be unique, but this should get
you started.
I was going to mention this, but you beat me to it. Oh well. I'll
point out that my checklist is mostly procedural, that is, things
to DO, not so much things to PACK.
As far as things to bring, I find it easiest just to store almost
everything (kitchen stuff, bed sheets, pillows, flashlights with
batteries, candle lanterns, lighters, first aid kit, etc.) in the
van permanently, so it's always ready to go. My camp kitchen is
mostly small lightweight stuff designed for backpacking or car
camping. Before a trip, all I need to pack is clothes and food,
plus an optional guitar, telescope, camera, etc.
If you borrow kitchen gear piecemeal from your home kitchen, you'll
want to make a packing list and revise it after every trip until
you get it right.
