I wouldn't get too excited by the lack of a monitor panel. The battery monitor sensor that come with most rigs are essentially useless - few experienced RV'er ever look at them. The back/gray water sensors are so prone to error that many don't bother to use those either. I use the propane and FW sensors but those are convenience items and I could live without.

If it were me I would focus the basics - find out which switch controls what. How to fill water, how to drain water, and how the propane system works etc. I would bring the rig into a tire outlet and have them test your batteries (it's free). I would also bring the rig into a Commercial propane dealer - have them fill the tank and ask them to perform a safety check of the system (inexpensive).
