Just realize when you pull the motorhome forward, Slowly, both arms may not lock, and that will affect the tracking of the car. Drive very slowly, if needed a slight turn left or right will increase the pull on the unlocked arm to assure both arms are locked. Then get out of the rig and visually check that the mechanism is locked, the tow cable is properly in place, brakes are off, gear is in neutral, etc. Head on out on your merry way. Then, just before exiting the campground get out of the rig and check again. Really. Also make sure the antenna is down, doors are closed and locked, do a complete walk around. It will make the rest of the day so much more peaceful and trouble free. There have been days that my inspection was less than complete, and they do not bring back good memories. Happy Trails.
and, if I may, develop and actually use a written checklist. the wife reads it as I perform each task.
