Hi, I made list on spread sheet of all things required and their weight, so tend not to forget things now, I look at sheet and anything i want to take i type into spread sheet and it will calculate if i am over weight for van, then put the items in car, so spread sheet dose 3 things,  1. lists all things i need to take.  2. calculates all the weights. 3. gives me print out incase needed for our friendly motor way patrol. mind you once after doing all that forgot to take list.

How fantastic ! I thought I was really organised but this takes the biscuit ! It's nice to know that there are people just as anal as me ! (No offence intended)

Not really with the caravan, but we have forgotten tent pegs, were once on a site in the middle of knowhere, had to make pegs out of bits of wood hacked off an old shed.

we're away at the moment and forgot the caravan keys. fortunately we keep spares of the essential keys, hitchlock caravan key etc on OH's car keys, so can manage, We just don't have the key for the Bike locks etc.I realised about 20 minutes into the journey but thought i would keep quiet til we got here, She did look a bit shocked when I said "your gonna have to give me the car keys out the ignition" when we got here!

Have got 3 hours down the m5 once and realised we forgot the dogs leads, not essesntial you may think but we have 3 dogs, !! Now keep spare of them aswell in the van

We've been there several times. The first for us was, we got right down to Cornwall to find we'd left the awning panels up in the loft & spent the holiday with no awning.

Second one was very recent. Julie & the kids were down there on holiday this past three weeks, I went down for the last week of the 3 & had quite a lot of meals cooked & in the coolbox. I got about 30 miles from home & delivered something to a workshop where one of my vehicles was only to realise the coolbox wasn't in the car. I drove home again, picked up my coat to get the spare house key instead of switching off the car & uncoverered the flipping coolbox in the back footwell of the car . Easy done though isn't it.

We went away a couple of weeks ago with ds and family.

He forgot the poles for his tent.

We forgot, ground sheet for awning.  Holiday money (thank goodness for credit card), tea, coffee, sugar and bread.
