    @AnnieTab, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your TaB.  I have a nice checklist that is not at my fingertips right now.  I will get it to you in a couple days.  I suspect there are many lists like mine from other forum members.  Try the search box and see what you can find.

    Thank you @Sharon_is_SAM I would appreciate that nice checklist. I have been researching and it's a bit overwhelming. I appreciate it...

    @Annie Tab, welcome and congratulations on your trailer. You will develop your own routine and learn to perform all the steps necessary for safety and personal comfort with the tasks at hand. It will become second nature. In the meantime, make or copy a checklist. Add tips, make it compatible with how you work. This is your adventure. Enjoy and happy t@bbing!

    Welcome @AnnieTab! I used lists more for reference. I do add interesting items to my Amazon wish list so I don’t have to remember where I saw what item when. I don’t necessarily buy it but I’ve got it for reference. 

    I had a three level system. 1) what do I need to operate my Tab (basics like locks, sewer hoses, my Happy Camper black tank powder, tools, chocks etc. 2) other important things to have. 3) things that make me happy to have around, certain decor, bedding, wall items etc.

    You will inevitably revisit your lists many times as you decide what you really want and how you like to camp. Have fun and enjoy the journey!

    Congratulations @AnnieTab! I looked at many task lists from owners, then created my own. As you walk through your set up and tear down, you'll edit. My list is extremely detailed. I was/am too scared to leave out details. (I use Excel, multiple columns, multiple pages...you get the idea. I had to get a clip board)!  =)
