Welcome to fun (y) best way to learn is just to get out there and do it, but any problems (we all have them) this is the best place to help sort them out.

I suggest taking a short proving trip somewhere fairly local and likely on a site with Electrical Hook Up so that you try everything out and are likely to have help to hand if you have any problems. Ideally that should be at least two nights. My first one night trip did not serve to highlight weakness in a failing leisure battery. That only came to light on my 2nd three nights away trip.

My other immediate comment: You may want two hoses for water - one short and the other long. Squeezing the water out of 10+ metres of hose to go on a reel when you are pulled up right next to a tap and in a hurry is a pain! You are also best to equip yourself with a variety of adapters for tap to hose connection.

If you need any advice on choice of gas bottles just ask.

Finally I am not sure of the age of your motor home. You may want to look at replacing tungsten/halogen bulbs with LEDs to reduce load on the leisure battery when not on an EHU.

Enjoy!
