Be patient with yourselves and don't be afraid to ask fellow campers for help.

Congrats on your soon to have Class A.
x2. If possible camp in your driveway or yard. If not, go to a local campground.

Don't hesitate to ask questions on the forum. There is a lot of information available.

If/when you hook up at a campground. Keep the dump valve to the black tank closed. Wait until it's about 3/4 full before you dump.
You don't want the 'pyramid' forming below your toiled.

Enjoy your travels.

Before you pick it up MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY. Do not accept/pay for unit until you see everything work. SOme places count on your eagerness to take possesion to not do a thorough job of fixing all the problems before selling the unit to you. YOU WILL NEVER be in a better bargaining position as you are now. THey want your money make them earn it. Otherwise you may find yourself waiting weeks and weeks to get a problem fixed. This forum abounds with horror stories about poor after the sale service.

The place you bought the unit is not your friend. They want as much money with as little effort as possible.
INSIST on a complete walk through with the fridge on and hot water heater working, hooked up to water supply or water tank filled. Check AC, Furnace etc do not pay until satisfied

Thank-you everyone :)

Have emergency road service for any unexpected problems that may come up and then just go and enjoy yourself. We seldom have a final destination or any kind of a schedule when we travel and we like to use the back roads as much as possible. You need to figure out what way of travel gives you the most pleasure and just do it. Congratulations

Welcome to the forum you young folks.
