We have something similar to those , only they say Remove Before Flight !On the back we wrote what item its for.
Anything that unloads, unwinds, opens or closed that should be open has one.
Each time something is used, opened , closed etc the tag gets taken off and is put on the drivers seat.
Now every time we go to take off no matter what, we BOTH do a walk around.
Since my wife doesn't read these very often I get to blame her. lol
While parked in our driveway shore line hooked up to side of garage.
I was inside the MH . Wife does a complete walk around "stepping over" the shore line and says yep everything's good !
I go to back up and the shore line cord slings out of the socket and slaps the front grille . I slam on the brakes , it had pulled the electrical box loose inside the compartment on the MH and pulled the wall socket box off the side of the garage.
After some choice words, I go out and repair the damage, to this day she still says she wasn't to blame.
So now we use those Remove Before Flight labels and we BOTH do a complete walk around before the MH moves an inch.
