Since no two people are alike, it's difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all camper checklist for things you'll need to bring to enjoy your camping trip with the Dutchman.
But in the theory that too much is better than too little, let's start with the list below, compiled by the
Campers Inn RV blog.
Remember, the tow weight of your vehicle includes whatever you pack
in your vehicle in addition to the weight of the Dutchman (Gross weight of the Dutchman is about 1900 pounds)
Keep in mind, too, that if you're loading the camper for your trip, distribute the weight evenly, with the bulk of it to the front. Otherwise, you risk swaying problems. I recommend all items go in a plastic tub.
