I have a question that I haven't seen a specific answer to (but it probably is not original).

When you stop for one night in transit and don't un-hitch do you put down the stabilizer jacks?

Are there any other regular set up tasks that you do or don't do?

We do, they take a lot of the bounce out of the trailer when moving around inside.

No, I don't. One night, not a lot of movement, everything hooked like in transit. I use batt power if I need to re-energize I hook up 7 pin and start tow vehicle. If it is just a stop, I conserve energy, and sleep. I'm talking like a WalMart layover.
