Hi Moose!! I am basically a snowbird too and your main concern will be to prevent mold from getting ahold inside your house. We set our AC unit for 80 degrees and let it run to keep the humidity low the first time we closed up out CYV for a couple of months. When we returned, we had a Humidistat installed. Munn's is who we used, but any AC business could do it for you. I think that the total install cost us under $100. You will see a savings very quickly from your AC unit coming on when the humidity exceeds 60% VS keeping an empty home at 80 degrees.
I also turn the water off in the home, just in case. You probably have 2 water supplies, potable and non-potable, so turning the house water off will not affect your lawn watering.
As far as your electric cart, we have one too, I make sure that the batteries are filled correctly with distilled water and charge them up overnight to capacity.
Because of the lightning storms in Florida, I also unplug the TV's, golf cart charger, and other expensive things just to prevent a power surge or lightning strike.
That's about it. Tell your neighbors that you are leaving, when you may be back and a phone number or e-mail address in case they need to get in touch.
That's all that I do!!
