Water source......only takes a few seconds to turn off. $$$$, time and frustration to repair due to broken fitting flooding RV while gone.
Power.....never trust that power pedestal has been properly wired/maintained. Especially on a 50A receptacle. Open neutral, reversed polarity, correct voltage. Testing can be done with a meter or via a surge guard device.
Fridge....off level operation disrupts the flow of cooling medium which can then be overheated and plate out on inside of cooling unit tubes. Damage is accumulative, permanent and non-reversible
Checking batteries....converter (charger) can overcharge and boil water out of batteries. Routine check of level/topping off as needed will prolong life of batteries. Monthly check until you know how your charger maintains. Some are very good, some so-so.

I still dont get why i need to turn off my water source outside when i leave for a few hours?? I mean actually leaving the rv since i'm assuming you're saying this because of the fact we're talking about what to do when if i leave the RV to go out and run errands??

And what is this "pedestal"??

And the rest you're saying, i'll need someone to explain to me in person because i am not seeing what you're saying if there isnt an image i can view.

I still paint by numbers:h

thanks

So you're gone seeing the sights and come back to water running out your door/slides because a plumbing fitting inside your RV broke/blew off.....flooded RV when all it takes is to close CG faucet to hose before leaving!

Pedestal...that would be the power source that you plug your power cord into at a CG. NEVER assume it has been properly wired or is is good condition. Test it with a meter.

A surge guard is an electric device that you can purchase (either a portable type or a hardwired type) that will automatically check the power source for improper wiring and voltage, will trip power to RV if voltage goes to high or too low

Check out this one from Progressive Industries.......LIFETIME Warranty

Fridge....level your RV and you won't have off-level problems with fridge

Batteries...check the water levels every once in a while and top off with distilled water IF needed.
