It is a good idea to take a short 'shakedown' trip close to home, to get the kinks out of everything, before heading across the state for a much-anticipated destination. Something within an hour of home would be great. You have most of August yet. Maybe go up to the rec area at Holly? A single night close by will let you find out what else you need to buy, what you forgot to pack, what you need to learn more about on the trailer, and that sort of thing. Then you don't have as much chance of screwing up a big Labor Day trip.
Besides, you don't really want to wait until Labor Day, now do you??? ;)
I pack 2 white water hoses, 2 extension cords (a 50' and a 25'), and a spare water pressure reducer (in case the one I leave on the hose quits working... which happened to me once).
