Welcome and Congratulations!
There's a ton of "chassis" things to check like Tires, Brakes, Hoses, but you also need to make sure you know how to operate the "house" systems. And that you have the supplies you need to actually camp once you arrive at a site.
For that reason, set it up at home if you can, and "camp" in it where you can run inside and get what you forgot.
Did you get manuals for things like Fridge, A/C, Generator, Awning? If so, study them and then try those systems.
Then a weekend trip. Most RVers will help others. Answer questions, pitch in on two-person tasks, etc.
Study what's involved in using the Fresh Water Tank (probably sanitize it), and the Gray and Black Holding Tanks. You'll need a Drinking Water hose, a Dump Hose, Tank Chemicals...
Sounds like a long list but it's not at all that bad.
