Be sure it has GoodYear "G" rated tires on it. If not play let's make a deal with the Dealer.
x2 on the tire conversation...(regardless of your brand preference). Be sure you have tires and wheels rated for your load. It has been an expensive lesson for many as it was for us. You will find lots of threads on this and other boards about tires that will provide insight.
We are only into RV'ing a few years and we have wwaayy more stuff than we need. We are in the process of purging already to lighten things up. We find it incredibly easy to buy stuff that is cool, fun or cute and never use it.
Congrats on the new rig!

X3, our "E" rated Marathons on our '11 Montana let us down on one of our trips a couple of years ago. What Cumins said might sound a little "corny" but he's got a real good point, try and upgrade right away with the dealer, you'll thank yourself later.
As far as all the "stuff" you're going to need. Take a short, close camping trip and a note pad, as you run into "needs" write them down and get them at discount stores INSTEAD of your dealer.
