Nice to start a new adventure! Congrats!
But then it is also very easy to trip ourself and cause trouble when we deal with new stuff!
One thing that shows up here really often is that folks try to wing it on too many new things and that can cause them all kinds of trouble and disappointment as well as money!
One big thing I notice is the change from trailer to motorized has a steep learning curve as there are far more complex electrical items involved!
The big thing is that a trailer is pretty well down to battery or shore power and keeping one set of batteries working right!
In motorized there is the added complication of the chassis/start battery and how it connects to the coach setup and disconnects at other times.
Be aware that this can lead to confusion and we may let the batteries run down to the point of damage!
I recommend watching them really close for some time until you get a good idea of how some thing work in unexpected ways!
You likely have one or more battery disconnect switches? But the trick is that those switches don't remove ALL the load like we might expect!
So if we store the RV for a few weeks/months and don't provide some way to keep things charged, we may come back to dead batteries which cost us a chunk of money!
Be alert and watch both sets of batteries if not well into how it works. It's a trap waiting to catch you!
It's easier to enjoy the new toys if they don't cost us every time we turn around!!
