We're far from experts... but here's a few pointers for what they're worth!
If staying for longer than a weekend, I generally get the wheels onto wooden blocks (if possible take some 1/2" and 1" thick pieces, this is useful if the pitch is sloping) but whatever the duration of stay we also place wooden chocks under all the the corner steadies, beds, and legs for the kitchen.
We've experimented with not unzipping the awning, and just folding it back over the cabin of the tent - this appears to have been a bad move (numerous arguments ensued) and so we've reverted back to putting up the main part of the tent, and then fitting the awning.
Not so much a camping issue, but relevant, ensure you have a wheel wrench that fits the nuts of the trailer (the one for the car won't neccesarily fit!) it's also worthwhile carrying a small bottle jack as again you may struggle to find a lifting point to use the car jack.
Hope this is of some use,
Paul
