Welcome to the forums and congrats on getting your Cougar.
If possible, the best way to get to "know" your new camper better is to do a drive-way camp out. In other words, take 3 days and 2 nights and stay exclusively in your camper while it is sitting on your property. During that time, do not enter your house. Keep notes of everything you forgot to pack, or things you simply did not think of.
If you are not able to do a drive-way camp, then go to a campground that is near your home, so if you absolutely do need something you forgot, or have issues, you can easily go back home and get what's needed.
Do this a couple times before you make your first longer-distance trip and you will be prepared.
There is always something new to learn about your camper. Something will happen that will cause you learn something else you never considered before. After a lifetime of camping, growing up in a family that camped and had a travel trailer, and going through the gauntlet of camping equipment, after 69 years, even today, there is still something new to learn, something I never thought about before. Every day, you learn something new! It's an adventure. It truly is!
