One thing you may want to add to the “Hook Up” list is to ensure the front storeage door is closed before backing up to within 3” of the pin. I had it up one time and could not close it or the tailgate once hitched. The hitch handle would not stay open so I pinned it open while I pulled ahead so I could close the storeage door. I hooked up and pulled ahead a bit so I could remove the wheel chocks. Did a final check and was horrified to realize that I forgot to un-pin the handle from the open position when I re-connected and could have easily dropped the trailer.
