Getting camper ready for Spring Camping
So I am getting a used camper tomorrow (1998 Lance Squire 8000) What things do I need to do to get it ready for camping? Basically what things do you all do when getting your campers out of winter ...

Jefe, in your preparation for departure, why do you add an oz of blue deodorizer to the kitchen sink? I would think that in your de-winterizing process the P-trap is now filled with water and any gases would be blocked.
I might also fine tune your preparation for departure in another way: If you are boondocking and won't have a place to fill your tank with water at destination, then fill your tank. If you have a known water source of potable water at your destination, do a partial fill so you have water enroute if needed. Your camper weight will be greatly reduced while traveling, then fill up tank after you've arrived. A fellow TC forum member taught me that one when he asked me why I brought 300lbs of water with me to Death Valley? Cause I thought it was the smart thing to do and I normally boondock was my answer. Then he informed me that there was really good potable water 100 yards away that I could've filled my tank with when I got here (Furnace Creek).
