        Get a trailer coupler lock kit and hide an air tag in the trailer (in case they get past the coupler)

                    I do. I use Meguir’s Rv and marine wax. My decals haven’t faded or dulled. Just my experience.

                            We still use our Dish! satellite setup. Streaming is great when the internet cooperates, but satellite has been more dependable for us. This might be the last year we susbcribe to dish though…

                                No, it’s not normal. Something is still pulling power. Many RV battery switches don’t fully isolate the battery, so things like co detectors, etc. can still draw power. To confirm, check for parasitic draw with a multimeter or disconnect the negative cable during storage.

                                    Always. I have one, so why not use it.

                                            Spray everything that makes contact with the ground outside with Home Defense. Even the sewer hose, power cord, etc.

                                                    Most/every Love’s Pilots are RV -friendly as long as you are using the truck section. Here’s a pro-tip, find a gas station and use Google maps to zoom in and see how maneuverable it is.
