What do you do before a trip?
About to go on a RV trip from Florida to Colorado. What would you do to get ready to the actual Class C. (Just had an oil change about 8 months ago).

Assuming the truck chassis has been kept up maintenance-wise ... in not any particular order some of the things we do are:
1) Set the tire pressures (including the spare tire)
2) Close the refrigerator door and turn it on a couple of days before we leave, then fill it with food the next day
3) Run the propane furnace a bit to get rid of the dust smell from it not being used in awhile
4) Empty the water, black, and grey tanks
5) Fill the black tank with fresh sanitizer and two gallons of water
6) Sanitize and fill the fresh water tank
7) Check the built-in generator's oil level
8) Run the built-in generator a bit to make sure it starts up and works
9) Make sure the gas can for the portable generator is full
10) Make sure the portable BBQ grill is clean
11) Make sure we have plenty of BBQ gas cylinders along
12) Load the tool bag into it's storage compartment
