My wife and I just purchased a Heartland North Trail 26 ft TT, the dealer will give us a 3 hour course on how to use it. What questions should I be asking before I drive off the lot?
We've done plenty of tent camping, but I imagine that this will be so much different than that. I know that many of you have been surprised your first time out and I am hoping to capitalize on the knowledge to reduce problems on my first time out.
I have read that camping in my drive way is a good way of working some kinks out, so I'll be trying that one. Any more ideas? Thank you in advance for your replies.

Howdy and welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the site and the many fine people here. Congrats on the new purchase for sure and hope you really enjoy the new TT. Wow, a 3 hour walk thru. That should really give you the ins and outs but if you still have doubts you can always video tape the session. Hope this might help a bit. Good luck.

Ask about everything.

Setup, leveling, propane and valves, electric hookup, breakers, water heater, furnace, frig, antenna, tanks and dumping, hitching it up, storage, awnings. How the shower head works.

No question is out of bounds. Make sure you can use/run everything!

Howdy and welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new TT, and be sure to check out the TT section below. Many dealers allow new owners to "camp" overnight in the dealership to test things out, so see if that's a possibility for you. Also, there are several pre-delivery checklists (PDI) on the board, so use the search function and print one out. Have fun!
