We are completely new to all this and have no idea what we're doing. Tomorrow we're taking her in to a guy who has been recommended to us for wheel re-packing and general overhaul.
We have a few issues to sort out:
1) Need an elegant solution for a tail light replacement
2) Not sure why she gives us a shock if we touch the skin, when she is plugged in, probably ought to sort that out.
3) We'd like an awning, there is a groove but no arms. What kind of awning should we get and how does that work?
What else? Advice welcomed and appreciated. I'm having fun with the decorating and leaving all the heavy stuff to my hubby.

Your being shocked because the polarity of the city power is improperly reversed, either withing the trailer or from the source of the power.
Zip Dee awnings are the best, but they also are the most expensive, but by far, they last the longest.
Check out all the exterior gaskets. Keeping the interior dry, is the key.
Have someone check the coach for LPG leaks, and the condition of the appliances, especially the furnace. Simply working, does not mean it's ok.
