Some of the things on your list only need be done if you do not have a home watch service. Those include unplugging everything (usually best to turn fridge down but not to unplug), putting saran wrap on toilet and oil in garbage disposal. If you can, put your golf cart on jacks to keep tires from getting a flat spot. Otherwise, have your home watcher drive your cart once a month for at least two miles. Also, if you can, put the wall garage door opener on lock so that it can't be opened with a remote control. According to the fire department, they recommend just turning your gas water heater to "low", not to the off or pilot light position. If you have any grass, be sure to have someone cutting it; if only rocks, mulch or pine straw, a weeder -- doesn't matter how much you spray or Preen, weeds will ultimately show up before you return. Nature of our beast.
