low coolant / add water?
My coolant level is about 2 inches lower than the cold level, do I have to buy and add coolant even though I am not driving the RV right now ? ( its hooked up at an RV park ) Can I just add distille...

For those who do your own coolant flush and fills, a good tool to have when it’s time to refill the system is a coolant lift. As complex as the plumbing can be on an engine nowadays, it almost impossible to get all the air out of some areas without one.
They can also be used to check for leaks, as they can pull a vacuum strong enough to flatten the big radiator hoses. Some leaks will show up better with vacuum than pressure.
I’ve got a UView Airlift, but there are other brands available.

Probably a good idea. DW's car, park with front about 6 inches high, and can fill like a old one.

When you get ready to drive it, top it off then.
But, I would also look at the "overflow" container as well as the cap. On my F-53, that canister is pressurized and I had a cap go bad which resulted in lost coolant. A few years latter, the actual canister developed a crack which also caused a fluid loss.
This type of tank is often used to reduce the problem NRALIFR mentioned.
