Video is a great idea, not just for first timers, but whenever somebody is getting to know a new rig.
Four important subjects:
1. Hooking up the utilities.
2. Turning the gas supply on and off.
3. Turning the water heater and fridge on and off (and the stove the first time it is used to bleed the air out of the lines).
4. Dumping and rinsing the tanks.
Possibly your most important tools will be a note pad and a credit card. The first couple of nights you will think of a list of small items that you should have brought along. Write them down and pull into the first Wal-Mart or Target you come to (park in the far end of the lot) and use the credit card. Not necessarily expensive items that you have at home, but the little things that make life on the road more pleasant. Just rough it on the expensive things and remember them next time.
And there will be a next time!
Enjoy the adventure and be safe out there.
