Like driving off with the jacks down, wait we do not have jacks but you get
the idea.
What is the downside of leaving the house water pump on?
Does anyone have horror stories of leaving the welcome step down?
What other things should I add to my checklists?

John,
If you ever took training to be a aircraft pilot, you would have been introduced to the "Walk Around".
This is a simple thing, but don't ever skip it. If you stop for fuel, try to include a walk around the coach before getting back on the road. I walk by each opening and think about what is in that opening and when it was last checked. The list is too long to go into between things here at GMCMI - Elkhart, but I could maybe later.
A question I want to answer now is:
"What is the downside of leaving the house water pump on?"
That actually has a simple answer, if the road vibration opens a tap, you can pump all your fresh water overboard before you know what has happened. That might not be critical, but it also could be.
Also be sure that the reefer is somehow locked.
