as newbies, there is a lot for you to learn, but luckily its just a lot of simple stuff.
there is a number of books one can purchase that will set you in the right direction, and most of them are a fun read.
you can also go to an rv dealer in the area and someone there will give you some basics on what you need to get started....
its really tough to give the widely ranging advice you need, here on the forum, but if you have specific questions about specific models of the components you have, then its much easier for us to give specific answers and hints on how best to deal with what you have....
I cant stress enough about getting a couple books (or more) aimed at beginner RV owners, as they are and will be helpful many times over the next year or so for you.. and there are several that cover every aspect of RV living and traveling.. and they cover the basics of all the components and appliances you have... make sure the books are written in the era of the rv that you have, as a 20 or 30 year old rv can and probably will have much different appliances than an rv that is only a few years old.... the appliances still do the same things, but the maintenance and operation can be very different.
as for rv dumps in your area, armed with a map or book of the area for RV'ers, get in the family car and go check out the dump areas.... once you use a few dump sites, you will find they are all about the same, but just in different locations...
and with the books, you will learn there are other options for hauling the waste off, so that you may never need to move the rv from where its comfortably parked..
