Speaking of "rope lights", see if you can pickup the battery powered outdoor string lights - might be on sale since it is after Christmas. They usually are on a timer, so you turn them on at 8pm and they shut off automatically at midnight. Make sure you get outdoor rated lights.
The biggest issue most people have with outdoor lighting at campgrounds is when people leave them on all night.
Propane - I turn on the tanks, then run the stove top to "purge" the lines of air (make sure door and windows are opened for ventilation). As said earlier, usually takes a minute or two. Double check the frig and water heater after you turn them on - if there were still air pockets in the gas lines, you may have to restart them.
Stabilizing - I just use the stabilizers mounted on the corners of my TT. Sometimes I tighten them up a little the next morning, but that is about it. No matter what you do, you are going to get at least a little rocking of the camper as people move around due to the suspension.
Caulking - It may discolor but still be perfectly good. Important things are that it is still sticking to the surface, doesn't have cracks, and isn't leaking. If in doubt have it replaced.
