Check lists
In this recent thread, j-d referred to check lists. I've got three: one for taking it out from yard storage, one for when we get to camp, and one for when we're leaving. I made up a Word document, so I can add stuff as needed, and keep refining it (some would say fussing with it) as I figure out sequence and so on. It's two pages (one for the first list, the other for the on-the-road lists). I used one of those plastic sheet protectors for a binder, and put a piece of cardboard in the middle to keep it from sliding down in the driver's side door pocket where it lives.
As a result of a little excitement on our Spring shake-down cruise, when I ran over the brand-new stabilizer the first time we used it, some of the items are highlighted in red.
I can't imagine NOT having one - well, maybe if I were magically 25 years old again, but not in my current state of memory fritz. Although we're reaching the stage of knowing what we need to do (we're down to about ten minutes, moving toward five, to get ready to hit the road), the reminders help.
