Took our TT out for the first time. Only towed it a mile as the CG was near the storage facility. Did not use the anti-sway as the trip took five minutes (would take just as long to actually hook them up). Overall everything worked!! The concertone system 600 series worked as is should. Great picture. Wingman antenna worked great(this system is better than what I have in my house).
The furnace worked two nights and keep everyone comfortable. The water heater kept the showers going and the dishes clean. Really no complaints. Everything worked. Main queen bed was comfortable. (DW pregnant and slept well, always a good thing) Slide worked. Doors, hinges and other attachment operated. Stove, refrigerator and microwave worked. Lights operated and battery even worked great when the CG had a 10 minute power outage. Black and grey tanks emptied as designed (I like the built in flush system for the black tank).
Did learn:
15 feet of sewer hose is not enough. Bought two more ten foot sections.
plus one coupler.
Need one regular hose to purge black tank and clean it.
Setting up for the first time as far as inside things takes time.
linens, dishes, etc.
Need a level in the trailer (forgot mine and borrowed one)
Hitch has play in the bolts (going to insert a washer to tighten it up.)
Basically a good TT for our first one and we are looking forward to our Memorial Weekend trip (longer tow - one hour one way)
We had fun and that is the reason we bought it.
Oh and Three screaming little girls makes it all worth it. They had a great time. (one learned you should not jump from the top bunk to the other top bunk)

Congrats on the first outing. You will find that you get more situated with every outing you make. I have had one full season and a couple of months, and I am still finding ways to make things more convenient and easier.
