That's all we do. We also close the sewer hose valve.

I would put away:
The water hose
The sewer hose
The power cord

because some jerk could turn on/open/steal.

If you have covers over ceiling vents I would crack a couple open just to let fresh air flow.

And have you discussed leaving your rig 'unattended' with the CG management/staff?

Power CORD...ummm was going to leave hooked up..So we would not wear down batteries...

Disconnecting all hoses, works for me.

Turn of house and Chassis batteries... ???

We set a mouse trap or two by the gas/brake pedals...they seem to be able to come in there from time to time.

I'd put a little ant bait/killer ( Green light) in a small lid (like a water bottle lid) and set it on the kitchen counter. I keep some there all the time and I have another small lid with ant bait under the sink.

If I put up a little defense, it seems to pay off for me.

That's pretty much what we do when we leave our mh at our seasonal . The only other things I do are pull the blinds down, leave the vents open (under the MaxxAir's) and pull the steps in.

Power cord........
If you have items in fridge I would leave it plugged in and batteries on so fridge stays cold BUT then there is the concern with 'fridge fires'
If concerned.....empty fridge/freezer.
Unplug/turn off propane/turn off battery disconnects.

Leave key to access rig with MGMT....just in case
Enjoy cruise......
