New to motorhomes

I'm buying a used Seneca(2015) on a freightliner M2 chassis. I've camped for a long time, but this is my first MH. Ïs there anything that I should be aware of?
What do you do about quieting the rattling of your possessions?
Thanks for your information.

    We line the cabinets with this (helps keep things from sliding). We also cut up this liner placing a small strip between the various plates, bowls etc .. keeps the dishware from rattling.
  • The noisiest possessions are the dishes. We keep the glasses in partitioned boxes and mostly use paper plates. Padding between ceramic plates, pots and pans also helps.

    By all means, call Jerry and let him pour some of his experience into you. Brace yourself. This is "drinking from a fire hose!"

    I don't know what you've camped in, but if this is your first time driving a "big box" be aware of clearances. Not just height but also house body width, rear overhang, turning radius and rear overhang side swing on tight turns.

    With a DIESEL engine in your Super C, you get one outstanding benefit. You can use the Truck Lanes at fuel stops! This allows a much easier in-fuel-out than even "RV Lanes" at places like Flying J, let alone the ordinary car islands, even if they have diesel fuel. Best I can tell, few to zero Truck Lanes still sell Gasoline, so I have to pick my fueling spots. You should have less worries.
