Ron's post makes good sense. Do your first camping in a local CG with full hookups, but take a few gallon jugs of drinking water from the grocery or home, to use for cooking, coffee and drinking and tooth brushing/rinsing. Take a notebook and take notes from the campers around you - especially before dumping tanks for the first time. Also write down what you needed and didn't have and had but never needed. I haven't met anybody yet that knew everything on their first night camping. Have met a few that thought they did. They're fun to watch.
Most campers remember when they started and remember the neighbors who helped them. When you get home, tell us how it went.
