RV Arrival & Setup Checklist
Use your RV and equipment manuals to determine the setup order. Leveling and slide procedures vary by vehicle; this list is a starting point, not a model-specific sequence.
Site & Level
- Check site: clearance, hookup side, slope
- Position rig, chock wheels
- Follow the leveling procedure for your RV and installed leveling system
- Use stabilizers and leveling jacks only as specified for your installed system
Hookups
- Inspect power pedestal, test with surge protector
- Connect shore power
- Connect city water through pressure regulator
- Sewer hose connected; black valve closed until dumping
Camp Setup
- Slide-outs out (check clearance first)
- Complete the water heater’s model-specific filling and startup checks before switching it on
- Refrigerator to shore power mode
- Awning out if weather allows
