The “Don’t Ruin It” Checklist
Most weekend-ending issues are power-related.
If outlets, A/C, awning, or slides won’t work, it’s usually shore power,
generator, GFCI, or a safety interlock.
Quick “Day 1” Plan
- Arrive while it’s still light.
- Plug in shore power (or start generator if needed).
- Start fridge early (8–12 hours to fully cool).
- Do a quick systems check before relaxing.
What to Bring (People Forget These)
- Extra trash bags and paper towels.
- Flashlights or headlamps.
- Outdoor extension cord.
- Simple outdoor rug to keep sand/dirt out.
Dump Tanks Plan (So You Don’t Panic on Checkout)
