Go to www.rvtravel.com. Here is a newsletter, every Saturday, and a tip newsletter every week day. They have some short you-tube videos on how to do basic things. They have a bookstore that you can access on the web site that has regular books and e-books.
These books as well as articles in the newsletter are how I have learned a lot. Some of the videos are free on the website - how to check ... on a RV, etc. They have checklists to make sure everything is ok before purchasing - but you have used it so probably already know that.
They have recipes, check lists to make sure you have packed everything for a trip (lay out clothes and what else you are taking - cut this in half and double the money). They have a columnist who calls himself RV Doctor - he also has a column in the Good Sam magazine and I think I saw him in a Motorhome magazine and Trailer life. There is even a RV Shrink - that is tongue in cheek but I am sure there are some people who are serious.
They have people who write articles about boondocking (camping without being hooked up to electric, water, etc). Solar panels and one I like to read is the "Long,Long Honeymoon" as they travel in an Airstream.
Another newsletter/blog I like is www.rvlifestyleexperts.com. Again they have books - one I enjoyed was women traveling alone. They write about their trips, what mechanical problems they had on a trip and how they fixed it, etc. When you receive the new blog, the subject title is "Are we there yet?"
Just take it one day at a time. One of the things I did, and we are now pulling down the notes is to leave post it notes next to the switch to pull in push out bedroom slide - check to see what is on the other side of the bed. Or bathroom - put soap dispenser in sink before we go, in the kitchen - make sure to put appliances used away, etc. You might think you don't need them, but it helps if someone else or spouse is helping and they will ask what does this mean? Many a time we have heard something fall that we forgot to put away before leaving. Also, the notes are great if you are tired.
Good luck. Keep reading and print out hints you feel will help to make your own check list so you can have fun and make a notebook of them with your notes. If you have kids, let them have their own check list - laminate them and use wipe off markers. There are books for the kids at Camping World and at RVtravel.com. I think I even saw a kids atlas.
Also, get them involved with places to visit, not just to campgrounds. Look for visitors centers to send off for maps and books about the state. When we get these, I cannot wait for the trip to start as I find things of interest in another state. Especially if they learn you don't have to spend money to have fun. This will help them in school and help round them out on knowledge.
