At least for me there is more to do on the inside which the wife takes care of with a checklist. If anyone comes over while I am setting up or departing I tell them that I am going through my routine now and if I stop to talk you will screw me all up. So far everyone has understood and left. When I leave I do a walk around as well.
NO DISTRACTIONS is the key. Get distracted, and before you know it you are lifting the tounge jack before putting up the rear stabilizers....they bend, trust me.
little story...
We were people watching one Sunday morning as everyone was packing to go home. Two sites down...."HONEY", "yes DEAR" was what we heard all morning. He outside doing his thing, her inside with more "HONEY", then anyone wants to hear on a Sunday morning.
Watched him make that finally walk-around, then start to pull out (stop giggling--- Ependydad).
Pulled the hitch right out of the receiver, trailer sat down on the chains. Thank godness it didn't stick in there long enough for him to get down the road.
I watched him re-check the hitch, chains, electrical hook-up. I guess he never thought to ensure he put the pin in the hitch.
Leave me alone when I am hooking up. No I do not need your help----I will go back over anything you think you did, on my own anyway.
