Walk through questions

Camcorder is a good idea....but let someone else (wife) do the video, you do the listening and asking.

Don't let the walk-through guy tell you and show you stuff...have him let YOU do the stuff. Actually get your hands on everything and operate it yourself. Watching and listening is ok....but doing is a better way to learn and remember.

Don't let your ego get in the way of asking and asking and asking until you are confident that you understand..

Nodding your head, "yes," while inside you still don't understand is not a good idea. Make the guy earn his money.

A few more items

1. Buy the adapters so you can plug into 110 Volts at home (don't try running the AC on it) and 50A in case an RV park doesn't have a 30A outlet.

2. I forgot, have them show you how to use the AC and the furnace.

Awesome, great place to start. Thanks for the list Track,I appreciate the effort and will cut and paste it right into my notebook for the walk through.

Exciting but nerve-racking. Fortunately we have tent camped for years so we have supplies. Considering everything we have to buy just for function, think we would go broke if we had to buy camp stuff also!

Download the owner's booklet and read it. It will help a newbie. ENJOY!

Every thing, button, switch, handle, everything should work. Ask what it does and then make them do it. Hot water is hot, TV works, fridge is cold.
We have been camping for years and had a few TT and our last walk thru took about an hour and a half. We got the last one about 1000 miles from home and had gust stopped to look. They gave us a good price so we bought it. It took 5 hrs from start to finish and money and signature were almost the last thing. Everything must work, no promises.

Yes, take the cam-corder.

5. What type of batteries does it have? 12V maintenance free or 6V that you have to check and add water to. If you have these, don't know it, don't check them and don't fill them, you'll be buying new batteries within two years.

6. For storage, do you have a real and true battery disconnect switch, if not, have one installed.

7. How the awning works

8. Hot water tank controls - how to operate it on gas vs electricity

9. How to use the weight distribution hitch

Go home, camp in it in the driveway for a weekend, not just one night.

Go to a camp ground, try things, if you have problems, as other campers.

This will get you started.
