Have you got your towing mirrors sorted and tried fitting them, It can take a wee bit of time to get them adjusted. I fit mine the night before so it's one less thing to do in the morning. One other thing I do is take a final walk around the van EVERY time I set off to a site or on the way home checking for all windows closed, door locked, sky lights shut, all external hatches secure ( Hands on test) hook up done correctly break away jockey wheel up secure, EHU cable disconnected and put away. I also "Police the ground" check nothing has been left on the ground before leaving a site, It is easy to forget a peg bag or a rolled up EHU cable sitting on the ground in the packing up.

Take a pint of milk tea/coffee so you can get a cupper as soon as you get a chance it really helps with setting up.

Enjoy your first trip it will be a great experience and don't worry we are all still learning

Oh nearly forgot if your putting up an awning remeber a Mallet for the pegs

Just don't do what I did on my maiden voyage. 

Remember to release the handbrake on the caravan before towing and when you get there and unhitch remember to take the break away cable off.  You only do it once and then you'll remember for life... ;o)

It easy to get caught up in the moment thinking about all the things you have been told.

Just take your time, thats a big caravan with a relatively small car for a 1st timer
