I notice everyone says "fill the water tank". Don't!! Most class C's are weight capacity limited (ours is very limited) so why carry an extra 300-400 pounds (or more) you don't need to. We limit the water tank to 5-6 gallons, just enough for the toilet until we reach our destination. Fill if needed at that point for boon-docking. Keep just a couple of gallons in the grey and black tanks. Other than that the lists are good.

Excellent advice unless you breakdown in hot weather or the water at your campground has taste issues.
X2 on starting out with a full freshwater tank. We try to always begin our trips with all tanks full that should be full and all tanks empty that should be empty.
Maybe it's just a thing with me, but I don't like to start out our travels in a "well stocked and self contained RV" that really isn't. To achieve this we had to find an RV that had a whole bunch of extra weight carrying capacity so we could load it up with no concerns.
