Hi,
The CO meter and propane leak detector can use up 35 amp hour daily, and if you had not planned on returning to the RV you might want to if you did not disconnect the battery, so it will not be damaged by being 100% dead in about 6 days.
You do not need a ladder to put on a bungy cord on the awning to keep it from sliding out while traveling due to the wind. Just reach up as high as you can, and put it there.
The tires can stay off the ground, but I like the idea of them sitting on the ground, so what you did should be great. Unless you have solar, the battery will be dead in a couple of days, so don't plan on running your refrigerator while in storage. If you can plug in the trailer, on electric it will consume about 3-5 KW daily, and add about $15 a month to the electric bill where ever it is parked. I would leave my refrigerator off until a couple of days before I needed it.
I would always recommend solar - at least 100W if you can not plug in the RV. This will keep the battery topped off. Only about $150 at this place. SunElec.com I would select a 12 volt nominal panel and a PWM controller around 20 amps and $25 - $45.
Have fun camping!
