I've never owned an RV before, and I intend to live in it full time for a while.

It's a 2003 Carri Lite 37' w/3 slide outs, in decent shape. I will rehab the interior stuff, as it all seems much like 'normal' residential, but the systems are all a bit foreign to me.

Is there any sort of newbie crash course, or basic stuff to know kind of website, or post I should check out?

Everything all looks to be operating normally now, but stuff breaks and I'd like to be at least somewhat prepared for those things.

More importantly, I want to know what to look out for, so i don't get hit by a 'shoulda known that' moment.

Any common places i need to rodent proof, or systems I should verify don't leak before using?

Thanks in advance.
