Don't use any silicone based product on the exterior. Dicor or Geocel Tripolymer sealants are good for doors, windows, etc. Any good auto or marine cleaner and wax will be good for the outside. Some folks swear by a certain product but "hands on" is your best product. Tanks only need water to operate. Some soap on occasion is a good thing and some oil on the toilet flapper is worthwhile. If you want the inside of your tanks to smell like a garden, there are products for that, too.
Most RV maintenance is practical sense like paying attention to the roof where pipes and vents are sealed. I'm an old school equipment mechanic so I don't trust anyone else's work. If I had a new trailer, I would be pulling the hubs, checking brakes and repacking the bearings. I'd also check wiring and plumbing. There are too many bad stories that come out of the factory and a simple twist with a screwdriver or wrench can save a lot of future aggravation.
Good luck with your new rig!
