We Are New To RVing What Do We Need To Know?

by Pam
(Fishers, IN. USA)

We just purchased a 35ft BH 2010 Freelander. I'm puzzled on what we should or shouldn't put inside to make it our 2nd home, and be safety conscious with our gross weight.

Any tips on how to set up housekeeping and be comfortable in an RV is welcomed.
