Black tank.......let it fill up. You want the weight/volume of liquids to carry the stuff out. Leaving the valve open will drain liquids and allow stuff to pile up..the old poop pyramid
Grey water.......leave closed/leave open---then close a day or so before dumping black to use as a rinse. Personally I leave ALL dump valves closed until time to dump. Grey--especially galley get stuff in them (oil, scum, food etc.) and I want high liquid level to carry that stuff out.
Slide out supports NO! NO! NO! Slides are self supporting/mfg. don't recommend them due to damage to slide out if trailer should settle NO! NO! NO!
A/C Unit......turn it ON and let it run
Covering tires helps protect them from UV rays.
Turn your water heater OFF before leaving cause no need to heat water while not there......
Besides you also need to turn water supply off before leaving......don't want to come 'home' and find water running out of your 'house' NOT FUN!
Leave an 'emergency contact' phone number with somebody (office staff if in CG, other long term neighbors etc.) just in case.
