I am 2 weeks out from spending the next 6 months "full-timing" in my class C. I am going to New Mexico for military training and will be staying on base fam camp. What are some things to consider for this rookie?

Thank you for your service. It seems like it might be hot there. See if you can park in the shade. Are you moving the rig every day or do you have a toad? Keep a close eye on the black and gray tank levels (or do you have hookups?). Put sun shades over the tires. Blister-pack reflective covers on the inside of the windshield or exterior covers. Have enough leveling blocks to do the job. Start with full propane tanks. Not sure how much you already know.

Thank you, I will not be moving the Rig everyday. I will have full hookups, thanks for the suggestions on the reflective covers, and tire covers.

Well, my friend, you are not talking about "full timing" really. You are just going to be living in your RV for a while. You will not need a full timers advise really, just advise on living in cramped quarters I'd say.
