To aid campers who are about to leave the campground, RV Travel has posted a checklist of things to do before departing. 

They include a download feature so that people can save and print it for future use.

Here's what they say to do inside the RV:

Inside

• Check to see that the TV is securely in place.

• Empty all garbage cans and take garbage to a proper trash receptacle. 

• Flush toilet and close the lid.
