I do a walk-around every time we leave our home garage, every camping site, every refueling stop, every eating stop and every other stop. Guess I'm just suspicious by nature.
I'm the exact same way. If we stop and I'm out of the truck, I do a walk around before we get going.
I found a major bubble on the inside of one of my tires before leaving home once.
Before I did that, I left my door handle extended and hit the highway. You'd be amazed at how close those jersey walls can feel. At home, I also left my between the wheel chocks in and like an idiot, pulled hard enough to pop them out of place and subsequently drive over them.
I did see one class A pull out with a full compliment of laundry on the back. The wife's skivvys were swinging in the wind - chesty woman by the looks of it. I didn't get a chance to catch up to them. My dad (a non-RV'r, but long time friend of truckers) commented, "Man, 60 second walk around would have saved that." Yup.
