Since you are looking at a first trip, dry camping with a "new to you" motorhome. Why bother with it for this short trip?
From all the questions and concerns you have voiced recently, may I suggest you simplify some.
Take the trip, keep carry along gear to a minimum and use the built in systems fully. ie full water/propane tanks, empty waste tanks, and use the unit as the builder designed it for. Then after getting a basic idea of how long batteries, water, propane, etc last, and what doesn't last as long as you had hoped, then start finding ways to enhance it.
From your post, I can almost envision you working yourself to death trying to do everything possible on this first trip, and not taking the time to relax and enjoy it.
Yea you nailed it..this thing is driving me nuts because as always I want everything PERFECT...OCD I guess...seems like lots of little things, the sealant around the roof edge (redone by me), small cracks in the upper shower surround by the screws,two hydraulic lines on the levelers I replaced, now the others...do I replace now or wait till IF or WHEN they may leak ??, its only a 5 yr old unit with 16k miles it seems like NOTHING should be wrong...
Good luck.
