I like most of this checklist. There are a few changes that may help.
The TrailManor book advises to latch the shells from the door side first when closing. In the case of the rear shell, you can reach in through the open upper door to add pressure to help close and latch it.
If you don't fold the steps before you lower the shells, they won't fold to travel position.
When the rear shell is down but not latched, it is in an ideal position to clean the roof before lowering the front shell.
24. STEPS FOLDED?
25. DOORS SEPARATED? LOWER IN TRAVEL POSITION, UPPER DOOR LATCHED OPEN.
