G'day Guys,
Deciding what to take and, just as importantly, what NOT to take can be a struggle in the preparation for any road trip.
We've all seen the way that the law is clamping down on overweight rigs these days so travelling light and keeping within the allowable weight for your vehicle and van/trailer is more important than ever.
To help make it a little easier for you, I've created this simple spreadsheet which is both a packing list AND a total weight calculator.
I've included over 500 items on the list to get you started.
And you can add the approximate weight of each item that you plan to take to get a running total of your overall rig weight.
Of course you won't need all 500+ items on the list so you can delete any you don't want and add your own as well.
Look at this spreadsheet as a starting point that you can customise for your own trip plans.
What do you get with this download?
You’ll be downloading two files . . .
- An Excel spreadsheet with built in cost and weight calculator. Add and delete items to the list until it is your own ultimate packing list. Note - The spreadsheet should open in virtually any spreadsheet program.
- A PDF file made from the spreadsheet which you can print out and use if you don't have Excel or another spreadsheet program.
Good luck with your trip planning.
See you on the road.

Covid has stopped us for 2 years and my husband is keen to get going. I want to start with just 3 months to begin with because we are now getting older. Just have to decide which way to head off after Easter. I'm worried about homesickness!
This will help greatly, thank you.
I enjoyed your videos way back when you first did them. We are planning a semi Big Lap now that many covid 19 restrictions have been lifted. Enjoy your work Steve.
Excellent! thank you.
This has been extremely helpful for first time 2 month trip including a lot of Free Camping
