Pre-Travel Checklist - Jayco JAY SERIES Owner's Manual

Before you travel...

PRE-TRAVEL CHECKLIST

In order to enjoy your travel, having all the right tools and supplies will help. A checklist
may be beneficial to avoid forgetting something essential. This list is meant to be a starting
point, while realizing that personal preference will also play a large roll in your packing.
There are items here which may not apply for you and items which could trigger other
ideas. As you expand your camping experience, you may wish to develop your own list of
needs.
