We are usually about 85 to 90% ready all the time. The trailer is always hooked to 30amp shore power, and the refrigerator is always cold.
Depending on the trip, I may add more fresh water a couple of days before leaving. I also have to check the tire pressure, and add air if necessary. We have to check the clothes situation. Make sure we have what we need in the trailer, or pack what isn't already in the trailer. The day before we pack perishables in the fridge.
The day before we leave, I also fill up the truck, and hook up. I like to do this the afternoon before we leave. I do leave the trailer hooked to shore power though.
The day we leave I have to pack my CPAP machine and prescription medicine.
