I smiled through your entire post. We got our first 5th wheel last April and have done our own version of everything you've done. Now, when I hook up, it goes so easy that I stand there for a minute because I'm sure I had to forget something. :) On a side note, because every site is a little different, I've gotten in the habit of carrying a small tape measure. I measure from the front of the pin box to the ground after I unhook and before I level front to back. That way I know what height I need the pin box to be raised to when preparing to hitch back up when leaving.
