If you are capable at fixing things you will have fun in your "new" RV. As others have said, make the first trip close to home. On our first trip in the last RV (my return to RVing in an new to us RV) we took a chase car with us in case we forgot something critical. Take a note pad (or smart phone) too as you will find lots of things you need and want to note.
Have fun!!
