Newbie Question
Long-time reader, new Class A owner. I'm wondering what the first mods or enhancements you made on your Class A were. I recall seeing a post about this, but can't track it down. Any help and/or advice...

The owners in our group have coaches that are all 40yo or greater, but there is still some valuable information that I would like to pass to any all new owners.
First would be to camp the first night in your driveway.
Second would be to compose check lists for both arrival and departure and use them for the first five seasons. (Did I stow the shore power cable?)
Third would be to get a spiral bound book to use as a maintenance log. I made mine in sections, but that is a choice. Record everything. In a few years, it will all be a blur. If you miss required maintenance, this can get expensive very fast. (Did I check the level in the house bank this sprig?)
Forth and actually more important than you might expect. Keep a trip report - daily if possible - and store them where they are handy. (I use a thumb drive.) Just as with maintenance, is a few years this will all be a hopefully pleasant blur but you will want to remember. (Honey, What year were we at Crazy Horse?)
Take this free advice for what it cost and I hope you have many boring hours of driving and many memorable stops.
