My transition was relatively seamless because we had larger boats for years, which have similar systems. Having either a hard wired electrical guard system or portable one in place is very important I guess because if you fry your system right away you are done. It is very important to slow down and take your time when setting up camp or breaking camp. My DW and I had a system for doing it with our 5th wheel and we carried over much of the same system of double checks when we moved to a MH. One of my rules is I don't allow myself to be distracted when setting up or leaving a site. If another camper stops by then I simply stop what I am doing and be "neighborly". When the conversation is over and they are gone I continue. The quickest way to forget to do something, like not raising your jacks, unplugging power cord, etc., is to get distracted by a well meaning neighbor.
