So, the manager of the RV park I'm staying in has informed me a better lot may finally be opening up. (The one I am in is kinda bad, really cramped for a monty and hardly any grass for the dogs, and the sewer hose set up isn't too good). This means besides finding someone to move my RV for me I've gotta pack it up for the first time even though it's only being towed one street over, lol.
I want to do as much of the pack up as I can myself, so I don't look quite as dumb, lol. Since I am new and this will be my first time, I need help making sure I know what I am doing. Will you guys look over this list and tell me if I am forgetting something?
So far, this is what I plan to do:
*Turn both propane tanks to "off".
*Disconnect cable at the RV.
*Disconnect water hose at RV and outlet, toss in cargo.
*Disconnect sewer line at RV, walk it down to the outlet to make sure it's empty, put it in sewer hose receptacle on RV. Hope I don't get poop on me.
I'm not going to bother with putting the cap back on the sewer since it's just down the road, less time bent under there as possible is better for my back.
*Disconnect the electrical cord at both ends, put it in cargo.
*I don't have a phone so there is no phone to disconnect.
*Go inside, move stuff around and pack up a bit so that there is nothing in the way of where the slides will come in. Since I am only going down the street I don't plan to secure things, for example I was just going to put the dog crate on the couch, etc.
*Check for anything breakable or roll-able that is loose.
Edited to add: *Close and LATCH shower and closet doors
Edited to add: *Make sure antennae is down.
Edited to add: *Make sure vent lids are down.
*Go outside and figure out how to get a look at the tops of the slides to make sure they are clear of debris (I am under a tree, I figure this is important) - Any tips on how to safely get a look at them? I'm afraid to climb up the ladder and walk on the roof, having essentially no balance.
*Fold up dog exercise pens that are acting as a fence and put in cargo
*Double check that everything is disconnected, turned off, and clear of debris
*Put dogs in car
*Bring slides in
*Wait for whoever I hire to move my RV to do the rest? LOL I have a tripod that I don't know how to take off safely for sure. The guy that delivered my RV put it on for me without me knowing about it to be nice, which I appreciated but that means I don't know how to get it off, either. So I'll let the guy I hire (probably a different guy I have no idea who it is) to move the RV for me take the tripod off, and obviously I'll let him do the landing gear since that comes after it's hitched. Right?
