StiltzM109R most all RV manuals for trailers are just a combination of brochures for the various items; microwave, water heater, etc. This is a very frequently asked question, but only a few manufactures actually produce a good bound owners manual. My PopUp had a decent one, but my next 3 trailers didn’t, my current rig came with an outstanding owners manual though.
Once temperatures stay above freezing play around with the by-pass options. You can hook up your hose and see if it fills your water heater. Unless you have a manual or the dealer shows you it’s just a matter of playing with it (and the marking) the switch locations for by-pass or regular flow. The low point drains may or may not have a switch, some just have caps.
Echo RV is gone, the bank forced them to close back in 2013. If there were more owners I’d say contact them, but I could only find one discussion on here.
Surge suppressor is a good idea; you can pop that topic in the search and read a whole lot about the various options and cost/benefits. You will want adapters but the most common at an RV park is a 30amp plug, but having a 50amp to 30amp isn’t a bad idea, though I don’t have one and I’ve never needed one. I do have a 30amp to standard plug adapter and I use that all the time at home.
Do you have an RV park near by? I’d start by camping in the driveway, then go to a local park. Make a list of things you need/want. Keep in mind you can over pack too, so take your time and don’t just go on a buying spree.
