Experienced motorhome owners follow 22 steps before settling in for the night
Original source: Yahoo Travel

The article lists 22 actions that seasoned motorhomers carry out in the first 20 minutes after arriving at a campsite. The steps include walking the pitch on foot before reversing, checking for overhanging branches above the roof, levelling the motorhome before connecting anything and fitting wheel chocks before unhitching a trailer. Other points cover plugging a surge protector into the pedestal before the motorhome, knowing the amperage (a 30-amp connection delivers about 3,600 watts, a 50-amp service about 12,000) and attaching a water pressure regulator to the spigot ahead of the hose. Owners are also advised to use a dedicated drinking-water hose, keep the black tank valve closed until the tank is full and test smoke, carbon monoxide and propane detectors.
