Here we go.....
Just made my first reservation for a "shakedown" at a local campground. No hookups but it will give me a couple of days to figure out how to use everything in the rig:h I will post all of my "misha...

Well here it is....pretty uneventful though.
The only unexpected issue was the RV shop I bought it from replaced the air suspension up front but obviously never put air in. The fills weren't mounted deep enough to get a fill nozzle on. Quick 2 minute fix and added air but the left has a slow leak so that needs a looksie. The auto AC doesn't work so we ran with the windows open. That probably just needs a charge. The holding tank levels don't read so I will do the "cleaning" method I saw on here to see if that fixes it.
I ran all but the furnace (unusualy warm up here this weekend) and everything works as it should. Surprisingly I don't seem to have an inverter so we ran the data up on the ipad watching SOAP reruns on youtube. I will add one very soon just to have it.
The only "story" I have is that when I went to dump after the first night somebody must have cycled the blackwater slide valve while it was at the dealership....that was a nasty surprise when I uncapped. I dumped again when I left to verify that it wasn't a leaky slide and it was fine.
All in all it was a successful shakedown and the dog took to it well so I do believe that we will get some use out of this beast.
