Tips for using MH for 1st trip

Well, some of u know, I've gone around on mh vs 5er vs TT etc. as someone who has never done any of the above, I have decided to rent a mh for my June summer vacation, using rvshare. I met the owner today and toured the mh and liked it. Nothing fancy but nice. It is a Thor windsport 39 w a ford v10 and a king bed. The rate is 1600$ for a week and reportedly includes insurance. I need to figure out what that means but w 200 miles per night and 5 hours of gen use, seems pretty good. Interestingly, when I asked about gen usesge, he said we will need it when driving down the road to keep the ac units going , two units. This helped me realize, I don't know too much about this stuff. It has a built in onan 5500 and will be going on a 10 hour trip. Do not really need to run the gen. most of the way on my trip to keep the mh cool? What else don't I know? That's a dumb question but over the course of 10 hrs drive to gatlinburg, what else do I need to know?

During mid-July the answer would like be yes. This time of year the answer is likely no. YMMV. The coach will (should) also have drivers A/C powered by the engines A/C compressor which will also likely not be necessary this time of year but should be more than enough if you get even a little bit warm.
There are many things you don't know but there are also a lot of things the most brilliant minds of this World don't know. You can't let that stop you!
