New NoBo 19.6 Owner! Any tips for a newbie?
No Experience really. Just bought X-chocks and Sewer tube at Camping world. Anyone have any suggestions for set up list/check list/ items to buy? Videos on the best way to utilize all functions of the camper? Instruction manual is weak on these.

Welcome from SoCal! I have no experience with a NOBO but these various forums are repositories of immense amounts of information on any subject pertaining to camping and/or Forest River campers. I'd suggest that you start with searches here and then follow up on Tube as needed.

Advice: Don't deploy the awning like that

Here's some that's not in the manual. Don't deploy the awning like that. It looks nice to have it level, but rainwater will collect in a pool in the center and damage it. Always have one outboard end lower than the other so the water runs off--even though it looks odd.
Ideally the front end would be lower, so the puddle isn't right by your entrance door.

Camp in your driveway once or twice. It allows you to get used to the the way things operate and makes it easy to make a list of items needed. Also, set a date on your calendar to go thru all cabinets and storage about every 6 months to remove items not used. Chances are you may just be taking up space.
I’m sure someone here also has a list of recommended items. Best item I have purchased was tst507 tpms system. Haven’t had a tire go down yet but not as nervous towing with it.

Congrats!
Camp overnight in your driveway. Get everything you need from your house and buy new stuff for your house.
If you don't do your own repairs find a good mobile RV tech and skip the dealer working directly with the factory to preapprove repair work.

I have a 2018 19.5 No bo. Take it out for a good drive and look everything over afterwards. Hopefully, quality is better on them or they stay together better. My nobo shakes so bad the stove has come out multiple times and most of the cabinets more then once. The black tank valve lubricate it weekly if it is the same as what I have. It seizes and I have to get someone to open it up for me.

Plus watch your from window. My has stone chip or cracked. Not the best idea to put window at front of trailer while travelling. It has to be replaced.

Should be a sticker on the front drivers side of the trailer with weights and torque specs. Likely 100ft-lbs for the tires but check because I dont have a no bo.
