## What is Ultimate RV Checklist?

Every RVer knows the feeling — you're 30 miles down the road and that little voice asks: did I retract the steps?
Ultimate RV Checklist was built by RVers who've been there. It's the co-pilot that keeps you from leaving the campsite with the water hose still connected or the slides still out.

### 1/5 — Wiped out my checklists

*2026-07-24*

I used this app almost since we started RVing. Now, we’re about to head out and I find that all my checklists are gone. I’m really frustrated. I spent a lot of time getting my lists the way I wanted. All that time and effort is wasted. A good app was ruined.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2026-07-23*

Everything you need in a checklist app and more! Developer seems to be constantly updating and adding be features.

### 1/5 — Updates ruined this app

*2026-07-02*

I have been using this app for several years. I created multiple lists to help me during my travels. This app was updated, and hours of work were deleted and replaced with a useless generic app that is not intuitive nor helpful for my needs.

### 5/5 — Lost my checklists.

*2026-06-29*

Is there a way of recovering all my checklists that I don’t have to totally rebuild them? I’m getting ready to go on a trip and I can’t use all the stuff you put in there.

### 1/5 — Was great… not so much now

*2026-06-26*

Used this app for many years and recommended it to friends. Went into it last night to show it to another RV’er and saw that it was totally changed. I had multiple lists, such as “Departing Camp”, “Arrival at Camp”, “Drop at Storage”, etc.  ow have to upgrade to Pro edition to have multiple lists. All of my prior entries were “recovered”, but into a single list, making them not usable. I will be exploring other apps now and will probably not pay to upgrade to get all the features I had and seem to be available elsewhere.

### 3/5 — This app is so good after the “upgrade”

*2026-06-14*

This app used to be amazing… Before the upgrade.  

This was my go to app or RV Checklist.  You used to have the opportunity to make separate lists that had headers, which is what I used for my packing list. (clothes, medication’s, specific items, etc )

I thought maybe if I paid for the subscription that feature would be in there, but it’s not.   
You call this an
 upgrade, I call it a huge fail.  Upgrades mean BETTER features not going backwards.  

PLEASE BRING BACK
ALL THE FEATURES YOU ISES TO HAVE.

### 1/5 — Updated version unusable

*2026-06-02*

Used previous version of this app for 3 years as full time RVer and 4 years before that part time and with this most recent update it's been rendered unusable and not user friendly at all. Can't import your previous lists just a list of 350 items half of which Ive never used or created. Cant slide items in the order you want them in anymore. Cant make different sections in one list anymore. It also has a monthly fee option now too. I have recommended this app to many RVers over the years but this version is terrible and I would not recommend it to anyone.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your loyalty over the years — seven years of use and recommending the app to fellow RVers truly means the world to me. I'm sorry this update has been such a frustrating experience.
Good news on the reordering — that fix is already done and will be in an update releasing in the next few days.  Thanks for pointing that out.
Also worth noting, the core departure and arrival checklists are completely free for everyone, with no subscription required.
The full rebuild was unfortunately necessary because the previous version relied on technology Apple no longer supports. For help getting your lists imported, please tap the Contact button in the app and we'll get you sorted out personally.
We genuinely appreciate your patience and hope to earn your recommendation back.

### 5/5 — Great app, Does exactly what It says

*2026-05-31*

Simple checklist app that has all the steps for campground setup and departure laid out already.  I also like that you can edit the lists after you have made them.

### 5/5 — Great Checklist!

*2026-05-31*

This app has basically everything you need. I really like that you can add your own items and customize it to fit your needs. I’ll be upgrading to the pro version to get the Maintenance Checklist for sure. Only thing that would be a good add would be notifications.

### 5/5 — Love this checklist!

*2026-05-31*

Full-time RVer for 7 years and loved the first iteration of this checklist. After 2 years off the road, I’m planning to dive back into RVing, and excited to see there’s an updated version. SUPER helpful, all around!
