You have come to the right spot!
A wealth of information to say the least. You will have to read the comments, and then try to figure out what is best for your situation.
You may be able to go on-line to the mfgr's website, and download a PDF copy of the manuals you are looking for, or maybe they can point you in the right direction, or answer questions.
I would also suggest looking around your neighborhood, to see if someone else has an RV....then go introduce yourself. More than likely, they will be more than happy to talk with you, and may be able to answer many of your questions with actual demonstrations of how things work (most of these systems are very similar, no matter the year)
As far as your use of the RV.....you may find that it is not as good a deal as you thought. Figure about $0.50 per mile for gas......and then you'll also have to find a CG that is close to the hospital (not always easy)...especially if you have to visit every day....you'll have to disconnect the RV each time. (one of the advantages of a TT in this particular case)
But, you've got the RV, and you want to use it, so I'd have the engine and chassis checked out by a good mechanic (brakes, transmission, tires, etc.) before making that drive.
Also recommend a road-side Assistance Plan (Coach-Net.com) is a good one....because you don't want to be on the side of the road, with your wife's medical situation.
Keep asking questions....
Good luck...happy Camping:)
