Just wondering if anybody has a check list or to do list before you venture out on your first trip of the year? Any ideas, suggestions would be wonderful. Only a second year user so need some advice so I don't forget something or over look it. Thanks folks. See ya down the trailSmile

Hey Road Warrior! Important question.   Many of us do it from memory. I am working on a list and will send it when done.

Well Road Warrior, here is what I have come up with, the things that I do.    Perhaps others could make comments and add.    I don't pretend that this is complete, but it's a good start.     Unwinterize. 
Sanitize water system.   Tighten lugs.   Air tires.    Swear three times.    Charge/fill batteries and clean terminals.    Fill propane and check for leaks.   Have a beer.   Check all appliances.    Check all seals.  Make sure electric heater element is off before doing anything.    Open bypass as last thing you do.   Check all lights inside and out.    Capture anti freeze.    Armourall tires.    Do a few mods.   Check for mice.    Replace CO and smoke batteries.     Clean fan screen.    Clean air cond filters.     Reset breakers.  Wash and UV protect fibreglass.    Clean/check solar panels.    Grease ball.     Check brakes.   Clean windows.   Deodorize toilet.   Put Calgon in grey and black tanks.   Air out the pod.   Wash/ install drapes.  Check/grease bearings.   Air spare tire.    Check/replace anode rod.   
Hope this helps.    Tomcamper.
