Nice looking camper, congratulations!
A common first trip is "Camp Driveway"
Set it up, camp in it a day or 3. See what you need for overnight, meals, dishes, clothing, tools, camping gear, etc.
We keep a notepad and pencil in the camper for things we find we want to add, change, remove, etc before the next trip.
Awning mat! Get one, lay it under your awning and steps. Broom to keep it clean. We also add a little piece of carpet (welcome mat size) to the left of the steps to keep our shoes during in and outs (usually bring in at night or bad weather)
If your steps are not carpeted, it's good to add. Keeps the dirt, leaves, sticks, etc out of the camper.
There's a lot more you will find or read about to make your trips more comfortable, but we've found keeping the camper CLEAN inside is a big first priority.
Have fun!
