Keystone Larado 303 TG

[Arleyg]

Just purchased my first ever TT. I got the Larado 303 TG. Looking for hints on just about everything. Any do's and don'ts or suggestions you might have would be appreciated. (tx)

Arleyg -
Wow - such a huge, wide-open question! For starters, familiarize yourself with everything inside and outside of your Laredo, where everything is located - especially fuses and breakers, make sure everything works and how to work everything like remotes, etc.
The generic Keystone manual is not overly helpful and it won't give you specific information about your Laredo so don't expect to look in the manual for answers to many of your questions.
I'd also spend a lot of time researching things on the forum by using the search feature. Most likely, many of the questions you have have already been asked and answered here -- things like "What should I take or bring?" and so on.
I would recommend that you take your rig to an large, mostly-empty parking lot and practice backing in and other maneuvers that you will be required to do. Have some sort of signal system in place with your wife/husband when giving directions.
If you can find a campsite close to home, go camping for a trial run weekend. If you can't, camp out in your driveway for a couple of nights.

You can also go online and Google something like "Getting Started or beginning RVing" and you will find numerous sites with helpful information.

Your question is just too big to provide you with "hints on just about everything". If you can ask specific questions, then it would help our members in answering. When you ask your question, just find the appropriate category and post it there. We'll try our best to help you out.

Great advice from Festus (as always...). when we first brought ours home I took off every unscrewable panel to see what was hidden behind it (under kitchen sink, batroom sink, panty... etc). As for everything else.... search and search some more on the site. Some basics that I can think of:

2-25' drinking hoses
30 amp extension cord
plenty of cold beverages
another hose for the black tank flush (1 have 1 50' for this )
sewer hose
more cold beverages
wheel chocks
blocks or wood planks to level the wheels side to side
blocks (lego or wood) for the jack
did I mention cold beverages

the rest is up to you (chairs, rug, awning tie downs, you name it)...

Good luck and happy shopping.
