recovering the cushion pads is really easy. You are just making boxes!

2 pieces of material 10cm bigger than the pad size, and strips of material 10cms longer,and 10cms wider than the depth of the cushion. this allows 5cms to seam top and bottom.  Put a zip along the back lower length,  in first and then sew all the other seams. 

You may find that the curtains hang better from curtain wires, Quite a lot of FC owners have ditched the poles supplied and just attach wires between the upright poles on the cabin frame. that way - no tapes and just a wide hem at the top.

You may find that making  voile curtains for the doors on the awning and cabin, keep pesky mossies out and let some breeze through. I got curtain weights for the bottoms of my voiles.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of FC's!!

I would say get the basic safety checks done as above  (gas hoses and tyres are two main ones, along with checking wheels for play (bearings)) and  then use it a couple of times and start building up a picture of what you may want to change or add to! Be careful though its addictive and expensive!!!
