Welcome to the Forum from Western New York State! Congratulations on your new JayFeather!

Our member family has a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and tips. Check the "sticky" posts on each forum, like The Welcome Mat, and General RV Chat. There's tips on how to do a good PDI at the dealer, things new owners need to know, etc.

I'll be more generic, and say to learn where everything is and how it works (the dealer PDI is your time. Take your time at it until you are extremely comfortable with it).

Don't let any issues get to you. We all have experienced them, and deal with them as they arise.

Keep a tool box with everything necessary for minor repair, tire changes, etc.

Most campers are more than willing to help you if you need it. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance. We all have been newbies at one time.

Most of all, have fun with your new TT, and keep us at the top of the list for questions, and help.
