Thanks for the ideas. I think a shorter checklist for overnight stays will help.
An electric reel for the power cord sounds great-- that sucker is heavy.
RE the microwave turntable: before we bought our coach, we rented. The guys we rented it from was adamant that only an idiot drives around with the glass tray inside the microwave, because a big bump could make the tray whack the door hard enough to open, sending the tray flying out to smash into a million pieces. Of course, he was probably just tired of replacing turntables broken by renters, but he sure scared the heck out of us!
