Very nice. Now sit down with a notepad and the owners manual and read it like a novel. In a couple of weeks read it again. These things are quite complicated and it is amazing what you will learn. Be handy with tools or a check book. Things happen constantly. Driving your house through earthquakes all day will cause lots of little things to come loose.
First thing I located was the BIG owners manual.
Having owned several 5th wheel RVs and several truck campers (still have a Lance 1050S) and riding the rough roads throughout the US, I keep a tube of adhesive, duct tape, and an assortment of screws with me at all times.
I do most all my own maintenance unless I am pressed for time. My sons best friend owns a large truck service and repair facility and I use them when I don't want to do something myself.
I have a well equipped shop and have 15 years experience maintaining (occasional modification of) Cummins engines in my RAM pickups.
