Congrats on your new-to-you RV. There's lots of useful information here on the forums but questions are always welcome too. It is helpful to include your trailer information when asking questions. Jump right in when you are ready.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new to you camper! Ask away with your questions and I am guessing you will find more answers than expected here as everyone is great at helping each other out. I'm from just a little bit East of you in the Quad Cities.

Congrats on your new RV! I currently run a new Forest River FR3 out of Des Moines area.
Don't know much myself, but sure some one here has the right answers!
