Don't loosen your drain plug on a full water heater just to check to see if it filled (if you do, you better stand out of the way because a missile is coming through your campsite and the ensuing water flush will send your chairs flying. If you do try this then make sure the city water is turned off or you will have a flood. Sad part is we had to explain to the neighbors wife this was my DHs brilliant idea and not her DHs idea.
Don't play amateur chemist in your holding tanks. Even if those drop in packets don't list formaldehyde in them, they apparently do contain it. These DO NOT MIX well with bleach!!!!!!!
Do not forget to put your antenna down before pulling out (hanging keys on the antenna crank is very helpful).
