The Quest for the "D" - Day 2 in the Truck

We both did very well today.  Over the past week, Bettyann rewrote the pre-trip check list and we both did a good job memorizing it.  In spite of that though, there are a few things (not major) that we forgot and we took longer then we should to go through it in the truck.  A couple of things we learned today helped.

It is important to know and remember where each of the 3 check procedures (Cold Engine check, Brake check and Circle check) start and stop.  For example: the Brake check starts with the yellow button and ends with the yellow button and you are then onto the Circle check.  Doing each check in a particular sequence also helps.

Bettyann is still having difficulty climbing in and out of the cab, even with the ladder, and with her knees as she does the "Fanning of the brakes."   

We did the checks twice - once before we leave and then again after the drive.  I really think we have them down now.  We'll know on Monday when we get our 3rd training session. 

And for you other RVers, No, the checks don't include raising the Jacks, bringing in the slides or securing the toaster and the bedroom TV so they don't hit you in the head if you have to stop quickly.
