Not so obvious - things to remember

I have a Brother label maker, so I make lots of labels, black or white on white or clear, or whatever. The slide out on mine did NOT have any warning about the parking brake, so I made a nice label to inform the user. I added a PI HW30C to protect the electrical system and it came with a digital read out remote. I did the error codes on a label right above the remote so I don't have to look them up.

Front overhead cabinet closest to the coach door has a red on white "First Aid Kit Inside" and a red cross on it.

I have disabled or removed a couple of items. Waste tank heaters were peeling off. I removed them and capped and stowed the wires. Labeled the switch INOP and small lettering (Heaters Removed).

My daughter and son-in-law made check lists for A) packing, B) setup and C) shutdown.

The black tank on my Fleetwood Tioga has a rinse outlet to flush out the tank. Once, at campground, I emptied the tank and opened the water for the rinse cycle. I forgot to turn it off, and after some 20 minutes, I was sitting nearby when I heard and saw a torrent of water cascading from the roof of my motorhome. The black tank had filled up with water and it rose up thru a vent tube to the roof of the motorhome. Luckily, it was all clean water and no one was around to see it.

2. After filling the fresh water tank, all of a sudden the water pump ran continuously. I was perplexed and checked whether the faucets, both hot and cold were working plus the toilet did flush. Seems I left the water inlet switch in the FILL position and I had forgotten to return it to the NORMAL position.

The corollary to this one is forgetting to turn the pump off when going to refill the tank, only to have it run the moment the fill valve is opened. Yep, I've done that once or twice.
