[A/S] Check list




Whoops!  Just a few thoughts ----

On arrival, I string out the electric line first before I unhitch to be sure it 
reaches the supply post.  Also, this provides 110 volt power inside the A/S 
while I'm finishing the arrival chores (helps the cook <g>).

The volt meter tells you that the Voltage level is OK.  Measuring current 
available (amps) is much more involved and usually cannot be corrected unless 
you have a auto-transformer as part of your equipment (not common).

Set the chocks before disconnecting from the hitch ball. Move tow vehicle out of 
the way, then adjust the hitch jack stand to be level for and aft and lower the 
stabilizers.

For departure, raise the stabilizers, move the tow vehicle into postion and set 
the hitch on the ball.  Then, remove the wheel chocks.  The sequence is 
important so as to avoid bumping the trailer into a wild ride <g>.

Take time to enjoy the flowers!  They're great this year!
