Guess I'm a bit confused on why it is so difficult to hook up power as soon as you've pulled or backed into the site.
I back in. Set the brake. Turn off engine. Hook up electric cable and water. Turn on pedestal power and city water. Turn on refrigerator (on auto) and turn on Water Heater (on AC power). Open slide. Then I do all the rest of the hookups and get the stuff out and set up. By the time I'm finished the hot water is ready and the refrigerator is already cooling down.

The vast majority of the new Class A coaches require that you
Have the engine running to extend slides to maintain voltage so as most of us do it as follows
Park in desired position
Lower jacks per auto level or manual level by dumping air and then leveling
Extend slides
Shut off engine
Hook up electric, water and so on
