Made the purchase, what's next?

Thanks everyone for the advice on the other thread. I pulled the trigger this morning on a Forest River Rockwood Windjammer 3001W at auction. It's a 2012 and real clean.

I'll next join Good Sam, can we get insurance through them? What coverages should I consider? Wife is psyched and I'm pretty happy too, we like the layout and the sharp nose/aerodynamic design. I'm a disabled vet, so I think I can get some benefits from the Nat'l park system.

Any other tips I need to do immediately. I was figuring replace battery(s), inspect hubs and brakes, service/lube hubs, evaluate tires then check all systems.

Any advice appreciated, thank you. This one appears to have electric jack, automatic leveler, etc.

As a disabled vet myself I can tell you that yes you can get some benefits from the national park system. If you are 10% or more disabled you can get the national parks access pass for free. You can apply via mail for a small cost or get it at the national park office. You will need your VA disability letter which can be retrieved online from the ebenefits.gov website.

Once you have that it is good for covering the entrance fee into all national parks. We used mine to get into Rocky Mountain Natl Park last summer saving us $20. Also if you plan to camp a lot look at the recreation.gov website for Army Corps of Engineering, BLM, or other federal campgrounds. We just spent a week at one in Lake Belton Texas. With the access card you can get a reduced campground fee. What was normally a 22 per night campsite only cost me 11 per night with the access pass.
