Proper approach for your electric golf cart depends on the make and model. Read the manual or talk to the dealer since some models are best left plugged into the smart charger and some are not.

Another good ideas is to not post on a public forum that you will be away.

I have lived in Florida as a snowbird for 14 years.
Here is a list of things you should do. Shut off the water. You may shut off the refigerator, and leave the doors open a little. If you choose to leave it on, remove anything that may spoil and fill the refigerator with a lot of containers of water so it will run as little as posible. Shut of the ice maker.
As for the toilets put about a half of cup of bleach in the tolets and cover with foil or glad wrap. Do not put bleach in the tank.
Set the humistat and temperature as instructed by the service man or written instructions. Follow these instruction and don't listen to anyone about how to set them because theirs may be differant. If you don't have a humistat have one installed for it will save you a lot of money on elec. bills and ware on the equipment. On the hot water tank, it's best to shut it off, electric or gas. If you choose to leave the gas one on set it on vacation or the lowest setting. As for the garage door, the control buttons on the wall , push the lock button to off.
Unplug all the electric equipment such as TVs, cable boxes, DVDs, radios, etc.
Have someone check you house while your away. Remember to tell the person if you have a humistat, that it may get very warm in your house regardless what the temperture is set at.
