Even though the trailer has a furnace buy an electric heater, why use your propane/LPG when you can use the RV parks electricity which you have paid for.
When a circuit breaker goes you need to push it even further to the left to reset it, then switch it back to the right hand side. This stops Ron having a mild panic!
When your ready to head out with the trailer in tow do at least two walk arounds to ensure you have closed, locked, latched, pushed ,shoved and any other action you can think of to make sure you are stowed correctly. The first drive out we left the handrail out, lucky we only went 20 metres before we realised.
Never run the landing gear past its end stop, even a second over will blow a fuse. Yep left the rocker switch on to long and blew a fuse.
Buy extra fuses, but ask if there are any different sizes that you may need. Only one fuse is a mini fuse and we blew it! Walmart trip required.
RV toilet paper is single ply and must be treated with caution! Just an observation so far.
Ensure the black tank valve is fully closed otherwise the "poo" sits in the drain pipe so when you take the end cape off you get a little surprise.
Have a piece of string handy with knots on it designating the width of your slide outs so you know where they will extend to, this stops you having to re hitch and move 6" to clear a tree. This tip was provided by our neighbour in our Renfro Valley RV park.
A satellite dish works great when you put it on the roof of your Trailer, just don't forget it's there.
Blocks of wood are handy for putting under the jacks to supplement levelling and stabilisation.
Leave your taps dripping in sub zero temperatures to stop the pipes freezing.
I am sure we will find out many more tips as we go.
