Just a tip that I have found very useful.  Before we picked up our pod last July, we purchased a Journal.  Starting with pick-up and our trip home, every outing has been listed  . . . even trips for maintenance.  It's easy to forget where you've been and even repairs made.   I note the campsite number that we were on plus anything of interest that happened during each trip.  When it comes time to sell, you can detail approximate mileage on the tires and overall useage.  The entry doesn't have to be very long, even a paragraph will do.

We do the same thing. It'll make for fun reading in the future.
 
We did this for decades on our boat as well. It's full of info on water levels, sketches of various anchorages, condensed versions of significant events, where we found the best blueberries, how many loons we saw, etc. All that important stuff.

We too have been doing that for many years.  I would do a daily note with weather info and what we did for the day.  It's great reading on cold or rainy nights to look back and reminisce.  It could be a fun thing to do with kids too.  Each one have their own journal and write down their adventures while camping.

My sister has used her journal when she sold trailers.  She knew how many miles it had been driven and the number of outings.  The info was a good selling tool.
