Getting Ready to Go on the Perfect Vacation

  7. Equipment: Make sure everything operates properly such as the oven, refrigerator, toilet, faucets, water pump, generator, electronics, and auxiliary equipment like a satellite dish.
  8. Tools: Be sure to bring along tools to make minor repairs.
  9. Spare Parts: Bring spare parts for things that may be needed, such as light bulbs.
  10. Emergency Kit: Bring a kit with first aid supplies, a flashlight with extra batteries, and important medicines.
  11. Maps: Bring maps and plot the trip in advance.
