Here’s a simple yet efficient checklist

Open all doors and compartments and check for rodent intrusion and water damage
Replace any dry cell batteries you may have removed for winter storage
Test the operation of the carbon monoxide detector, the LP gas leak detetor and the smoke detector
Check the fire extinguisher and make sure it is fully charged
Open the awning to let it dry
Raise the radio / TV Antenna
Inspect all seams, windows and vents for water damage and reseal if necessary
Lubricate all hinges and locks with spray lubricant
Test the operation of the hydaulic jacks if applicable. Also check de hydraulic fluid level.
Place mothballs near (not in) the gas burner assembly of the refrigerator (to prevenr spiders from nesting and causing gas flow blockages at the burner)
Place sheets of bounce or fleecy (or similar product) under each mattress and cushion. This will keep field mice away as they don’t like the smell
Inspect the tires for signs of dry rot. Inflate all tires to the recommended tire pressure
