Congratulations and enjoy the simplicity of this style of camping! Great threads have been popping up recently addressing your question.
My best hint would be to write yourself a closing list. Might be less to do now, but still just as important to remember. Take into consideration your water hookup, water heater, awning, slides, A/C, food, etc.
You will soon appreciate the familiarity of your "neighborhood" and permanent neighbors, and will watch out for each other. I've found this style of camping to be much less stressful. I don't miss the domestic disputes while setting up during the mosquito breeding season. If your park allows it, you might be able to leave firewood there, a boat, a full-sized grill on-site, lights, mats and other items that are typically a pain to pack and unpack. Get to know the caretakers. They'll also keep an eye on your site. You'll make some really great lifetime friends.
