Newby needs help

Those "Hoppy Levels" are really good. The curve and the markings make them different for lengthwise and sideways leveling.

Let me shift gears:
Make Checklists, make Tags.
You want to be sure you've lowered the Antenna, disconnected Water, Power and Sewer, retracted any jacks, etc.
A "Crank Me Back Down" tag is especially useful for the Antenna.
A Fuel Stop checklist is good too - Any LPG appliance needs to be turned OFF. The LPG hose jockey might turn the tank valve off. Not safe with Fridge ON, because the Fridge will spark its igniter trying to get going again. It's not just the Flame you want to avoid, it's the Spark, too.

Checklists are good even after it all becomes second nature, since you could be distracted. I find that More Help = More Mistakes...

Yes.. I've started my check list ... so far just on things to pack.. I'm leaving on my first trip on the 6th of Dec.. that's just a little over a week from now... So Thursday.. going to take the MH out.. make sure the propane is full... then go to a level lot to set my little levels... great idea putting one near the drivers seat.. didn't think of that... then will stop at my mechanics and have him give it the once over.. under the hood and tire pressure.. My first stop will be at the Barnyard in SC... I've been there with my conversion van.. and all the lots are nice and level.. but still my first time hooking everything up... thanks for your good advise..
