I was so relieved to read this post in RVMama's blog this morning. https://rvmama6.home.blog/2019/08/03/we-made-it/
She has a crew of six and they each have jobs, like doing the walk around.Isaac-1 said:Just take your time, don't get frustrated, and don't get in a rush, always make a walk around to check tire's hoses, awnings, etc. before pulling out, if driving conditions are bad, stay put...
I have a laminated printed checklist on the refrigerator door in my coach thanks to the previous owner that I try to always use (jacks up, check, antenna down, check, bathroom door latched, check,cargo compartments locks, ...) I also rarely crank up the TV antenna so I have a red ribbon that I clip to the crank handle when it is up to remind me to lower it.

I never told you why I told you about it. Me and my girlfriend had a new to us 39' DP and we were parked at a campground at Lake Mead. I did a walk around and failed to notice a tree stump that was by my front left tire. It was about 6 inches out of the ground but that was enough to catch the front cap and rip it off to the tune of over $3000. I was going about one mile per hour at the time. Very embarrassing.RVMommaTo6 said:I have a list too! Tom, you were the first one that told me about the walk around. I do it even if I stop for gas. ANY time I get out or shut off the ignition.
