1. One bag of ice is never enough; neither is one tube of caulk.
2. Never leave S'mores fixings in the cupboard - at least not in the Summer.
3. Heated pools are never heated, despite what they tell you when you check in. Always make the kids get in first.
4. In bear country, always carry a flashlight to the dumpster at night .... or better yet, just avoid it altogether.
5. Pack an extra sheet, one of the kids will either puke or get a bloody nose.
6. Always carry quarters, you'll need them for the laundromat (see #5).
7. Putting up an awning the first time is akin to assembling a Rubics Cube. Don't worry though, eventually you'll look so pathetic other campers will come over to help you.
8. It's a nice thought when fellow campers come over to 'assist' with backing in, but when there is more than one of them at a time it's best just to nod your head, act like you're listening and steer whichever the heck way you want.
9. Don't google 'bears and RVs' before you go camp in the forest.
10. Rain water will always find the path of least resistance into your RV, which inevitably is right above your forehead when you're sleeping.
Oh so true!! Number 8 really made me laugh.
