First time in the RV
My wife, son, and I are going camping for the firs time since we got our Flagstaff Microlite 23LB travel trailer this weekend. We won't have any hookups. Wondering if anyone can provide any last minut...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. A couple things below:
1. We only have one marine battery. We plan on using the fridge (propane), hot water heater (propane, for my sons baths), water pump, lights, toilet, electric awning, and possibly the stove (propane). I think that's it. We are going from Friday to Monday. Think 1 battery will last?
2. We have LED lights, it came with the trailer.
3. I'm not too sure about how the tanks will be. My wife and I will be showering at the campground showers. I have a 43 gallon fresh, and 28 for the black/gray. It's me, my wife, and 9 month old son. Estimates on if the tanks will last? What type of use?
4. When not using the hot water heat and water pump should I turn them off?
Thanks again.
A 43 and 28 gallon tank is yuge. Yuge (No. The rest of NYC does NOT talk like that but whatevahhh;))for an RV. Since you are bathing outside of your RV (my plan as well unless I'm boondocking in the West) I imagine you can retain your start up water supply for at least 5 days. Just don't brush your teeth with the water constantly running or same attitude for washing and rinsing dishes.
