With respect, I'd like to correct or clarify some of your instructions...

Leveling fore-to-aft (front to back) should be done AFTER unhitching.

The voltmeter, an excellent RVing tool, is used to check the VOLTAGE at the
campground power "post".  If the voltage is less than 110 or more than 130,
one would do well to NOT connect to it.

I agree.  This is the most important step!   :)

Don't forget the TV antenna.

This is EXCELLENT advice!  Also, it is a good idea to check to ensure that
there is POWER at the post.

I once had my camper all unhitched and leveled only to discover that the
power to the campsites in the area I chose were turned OFF!

More good advice.
