I agree with Ty and Gladys....stay close to home, until you feel comfortable. You may even want to have DW fallow in the family car, just in case you have to make a run home for something.

You'll be amazed about the littlest things that you forget about....a can opener? Cigarette Lighter (get one of the long handled ones)...etc.
As for the RV itself, learn the ins and outs of the appliances. You should probably be able to contact the mfgr's website, and maybe get a PFD of the manual, if they have it...and you don't.
If you've been reading this forum, you know about tires....how old are they on your MH? They may look new, but you need to check the age on them, and consider replacement when they get about 8 years old. Also, make sure you keep them pressurized to the proper numbers. Getting the RV weighed is a great idea, as it will allow you to get a better calculation as to what the pressures should be, based on the weight on each tire/axle.
Keep reading this forum, keep asking questions....and get out and use your RV!
That's what it's all about....
Happy Camping:)
