Well howdy! 
Glad you dropped in an decided to sit a spell. I am sure there will be several folks that can give ya lots of information on a new rig.
The biggest thing is to remember that it is LONG. You need to turn late at intersections and such due to the back wheels tracking inside the front wheels.
You might be intimidated at first driving the rig. But over time you will become more comfortable.
Yall live in a wonderful state for campin in a rig that is for sure. Arkansas has lots of beautiful parks. I have been going to them since I was a kid. (Well younger kid according to my wife) I could type a LONG time about the trips/time I have spent in that state.
Again, welcome to the forum just wade on in and kick your shoes off and make yourself at home.
Catch Ya Later,
Don

Razorbac,
welcome to the forum, you will meet some wonderful people here and when you have questions you will be sure to find answers here. As for delivery of your new Megellan 35 be sure to take your time with the PDI (pre delivery inspection). Your dealer will be sure to have a list for you, but you may want to take your own. there are many on the forum, go to "find" above and type in PDI, uncheck "search this forum only" and you will get many many pages of possible places to look. You could start with this one
PDI
Good luck, post often
