Checklists - for setting up, breaking down, hitching up, etc....help me in my quest for checklists!

Hey Topgun2!

Get idea about per 3-1.  I will add that change!  I just wonder if rain would wash out the mark I make....but still a great idea! 

Yeah - per 5-9:  Let me see what Oliver says, or if I can find it the torque values somewhere on this site.    Edited:  Founds it, and it is 90:  

 

 

Thanks!!

Instead of making a mark - just lay sticks or identifiable rocks by the tires - the rocks or chalk also works for pavement.

One thing really important I would suggest you consider adding to your checklist or maybe I over looked it.

Consider adding a check to make sure your TV and Oliver’s electronic brake setting is in sync.

Here's a checklist we used for the first 2 years with our trailer ( Hull 505)

We've not been updating it as much so it's been good enough.

This is our first trip arrival and service check list.  It has all the items that I do when taking our Ollie out of deep winter storage. 

Hope this is helpful.

PS:  I have sent ours as a word document so you can update it as you desire for your needs. Some of our 2018 items will not apply to your rig.

This is our pre-departure check list.  It is printed on both sides and one has inside trailer and the other copy has outside trailer highlighted.  This allows us to remember where respectively they STAY ...... and eliminated "who lost it" discussions.

Sending as a word document so you can edit it for your trailer.  More than a few things have changed since Hull 342 hatched.

Certainly is a through list - nice work!

Well done, TRIPMUSHRV, for sure!  

I'm definitely a "Checklist-Guy", too.  FYI:  I use the concept of "BOLD FACE" procedures or steps with our checklists.  Bold Faced steps are those that can be memorized - it may be those that are the first few steps in a procedure, such as "walking-down" the campsite prior to committing, or maybe the first several steps in "hitching/un-hitching" Ollie from the TV.  In any case, It works for me and how my brain is wired - the "bold face-only" list is much shorter, comprised of all the "don't forget" steps to keep one from breaking or hurting something/someone along the way!  HA!
