Headed to our coach in south Fl. Left in May, inside, plugged in. Any  thing I should look for before I turn the key. New to forum any help would be helpful. Thanks John

1.  Check tire pressures
2.  Check all around the floor to ensure no leaks of any fluids
3.  Check the voltage at the battery banks
4.  If equiped with propane, make sure all appliances work properly, including the refrigerator.
5.  Change battery at smoke detector and test propane, CO2 detedtors.
6.  Test plumbing to ensure all water systems work.  I would sanitize the tank and lines.
7.  Replace the ADC water filter under the sink.
8.  Run the genset for about 30 minutes to make sure all electric systems work well with the genset.
9.  Same with the Aquahot systems.
10.  Test the room slides and mechanisms and ensure proper lube at the necessary lube points.
11.  If you didn't change the oil before storage, shame on you...do it now.
12.  Check all fluid levels in the engine compartment.
 
There's ton more stuff to do, but this should keep you very busy...assuming all works well.
