Just bought an ABI Dalesman 520ET, first trip out this weekend and I'm starting to get a bit nervous about setting up, assuming I cna reverse it to where it needs to be!

Can anyone help me with a set up check list,?

level van, secure hitch lock, plug into electric, fetch water, put pump in, make sure taps are all off, plug pump in, put waste under the back and it of pipe to it, turn on gas supply and bleed through, put hot water heater on, check elecy works, check water is comming through, boil kettle, make tea, switch fridge from 12v to 24v

Anything missing?
