Newbie Check Lists

[bluewaterfree]

Hi folks....

Brand new motorhome owner and unafraid to admit I don't know a LOT. Needs some BASIC help please. Below you'll see some checklists with some basic questions. I'd greatly appreciate any additions of things I've forgot or answers to those questions. I know it'll be easy once I learn it, but I won't learn unless I ask.

Any assistance appreciated. Motorhome is a Berkshire 34B.
Thanks
Mark

Wash Black Water Tank Do you put fresh chemicals in Black/Grey after cleaning or before next use?

I tend to put chemicals in it after cleaning so it sits like that until the next trip

You generally only need to sanitize the system once per season and then it should be fine in-between trips. Here's instructions:

Unfortunately I can't help with the battery or propane. My experience is largely trailers and our systems are different than yours.
