Wally Byam Caravan checklist

I saw on the web somewhere a Wally Byam Caravan departure checklist from the 50's I believe, I think it had a black background with yellow lettering. Does anyone have a copy of this or know where it is one the web, I can't for the life of me find this again.

I don't need a checklist to follow, I just thought this was a cool little piece, I would like a copy of.

I think the Checklist you mention is on page 18 of the book "Airstream, History of the Land Yacht" by Bryan Burkhart and David Hunt.

66Overlander,

Thanks, I remember now that is exactly where I saw that, I was reading "Airstream, History of the Land Yacht" at the dentist office while the kids were getting there checkups.
He has a copy in the waiting room, I believe he has Bambi.

In Wally's book, Trailer Travel Here and Abroad, he addressed what he felt were essentials for Airstreaming.

In the appendix on page 299 to page 302 Wally list 27 items that he considered "Gear for Well-equipped Trailers."

To quote Wally, "No one should be frightened by the length of the list."
