Ouch, that stings!
I made a check list of the different things to do when loading, unloading the camper, raising the roof, lower the roof etc. We got to our camping site late and wanted to eat so we never got around to leveling the camper. We were good front to back but not side to side. I figured I would put my Anderson levelers behind both left side tires. and back up. Only thing I forgot the awning was out and the legs staked. Moved about 8" and was lucky that the ground was so hard I could drive the stacks all the way in. No damage.
Second mistake, while we stopped at home to unload everything before taking the camper to the storage place, we forgot to empty the water tank. Off loaded the camper and set on the plywood crosses, when the thought came across my mind that we forgot to do it at home. Had about 13 gallons in the tank. I emptied the tank there, and I think I escaped again.
So much to learn and so much to do.
Even though the turn buckles were tight when we left, I found the right side ones loose when we check this morning. For some reason the camper shifted to the right side of the bed. The left side was tight when I check. Not sure why this happened.
I'm sure the more we use the camper things will become second nature.
If you have a different way to preventing a stupid mistake, let me know.
