There are countless things I could suggest to a new owner, but with time limitations I’ll just add a few ideas I use that I think should be initial tasks.
Attend a Beaver Rally and/or an FMCA one where experienced club members will gladly give you first hand answers to your questions and some unsolicited answers as well;
If you aren’t full-timing, create two folders where you keep identical copies of your rig’s service records and add-on and accessory purchases. Fuel purchase receipts are in there up front right behind the initial coach purchase info and factory standard and options added/device model # and serial numbers guide. Also in there are biannual state registration receipts. I keep one file at home and one in the coach, and try to remember to make the copy of a receipt each time (admittedly I too often have forgotten);
In a separate carry-aboard 3-ring binder with see-through sleeves I also keep warranties and use instructions for the myriad accroutrements I’ve bought and have onboard, like flashlights, small appliances, special tools, navigation/altimeter/compass devices, wall clock, alarm clock, thermometers…. you know, things I might use infrequently and need reference for;
My memory isn’t getting better with age. So in my garage at home I have 3 large white erase boards, one magnetic on the inside of the rear door that opens out to where Monty Rae is parked, and two on the inside of the pickup’s garage door - one for keeping track of my home yard endeavors and one that tracks the pickup, Explorer, and Beaver regular and major services and repairs. The back door one is velcroed to the steel door, went up when the coach was new, and has the initial required services timelines BCS then gave me. That was overkill… most of the listed services there never mileaged out and have faded or worn over the years. Ad hoc notes pretty much took over instead. But it’s still been useful as an easy reference to see what’s due, like exercising the generator and HydroHot, coach mileage when last parked, winterization/dewinterizing info, current battery main switch status, etc. whatever strikes my fancy that I might not want to have to take time digging up out of files. It’s magnetic aspect is handy for attaching temporary notes, documents, eraser/markers, and such.
