Here we go.....

Be sure to take a notebook and pen ;)

Before you go, take some time in your driveway and hang out in there, have lunch, make the beds and have a nap.

That will help you make sure you have the basics covered.

We picked up a couple of these at Walmart this year for the camper.



Soft so they don't scratch or mark anything during tansport, soft bottoms are easy on the floor, and can be fluffed up for stiff back or loosened up for lazy support.

Originally got a pair for the kids, but then bought another pair for us! Adds seating and lounging capabilities in addition to the couch and chairs.

"Camping" in the driveway as DiskDoctr mentioned is a good idea. Make sure it includes some meal prep and eating so you don't forget something very important like salt or butter or cutlery.

If you go with the intent of having a good adventure, most any (minor) thing that comes up won't be able to ruin the weekend.

Just don't forget the beer and toilet paper!

And not necessarily in that order :)

Congratulations! Don't forget that your outlets won't work on battery and neither will your AC. For the most part you won't need those but I agree about camping in your driveway first where you can try out all of your features including the shore power. Enjoy!

if this is your first trip in your first RV, it is silly IMHO to not get full hookups and see that everything is working right.

I couldn't get a nearby reservation with hookups so I will have to "fast cruise" in the driveway as well

I take most everything in stride and look at mishaps as stories to tell rather than setbacks

X2. It's easy to make new friends when you have beer..
Ask your neighbor if he would like a roll of toilet paper as an ice breaker.... see my point :@
