[Diesel-RVs] Re: MotorHome Check-List

When I went through my coach with the previous owner I used a small
digital audio recorder. He's show me something and I'd record his
words and then sometimes add a description of what he was pointing to
or it's location.

Later, at home I transcribe the recording and printed out a copy for
my coach notebook. I find it easier to find something written out
than by hunting in an audio recording.
