If you have plates and glass make sure they won't fall over!
Check for insects/rodents
Make sure you have all the pegs/bars etc for the beds and tables,don't wanna forget them:pac:

A few things I do off the top of my head

• Connect to the mains and cool down the fridge
• When you are packing, keep the heaviest items over the axle and do not overload the front locker.
• Make sure your road lights work
• Turn off gas at the cylinder
• Lock all doors
• Empty your water heater and toilet tank to reduce weight
• Don't forget your awning, pegs, hammer etc if you use one
• Make sure things won't move around inside like tv, bikes, bbq
• Close all windows, vents, rooflights
• Retract tv aerial
• Make sure handbrake is off and jockey wheel is up before pulling away
• Don't forget your ehu cable if you were connected to the mains
• Pack food, bedding and clothes
• Stop after a few miles and check everything is ok inside and out

it was more as a start of season reminder or for when I give a loan of it.

Stuff I tend to forget is matches, tea towels.
