I have a V‑model and take it out every other weekend between early November and April, as I do not go on road trips during the summer / warner months. I go out during the cold winter months, not a fan of the bugs, warm or hot weather. My suggestion and most will tell you to take your time. I have remodeled my camper after almost every trip. You’ll find out what you need, want, etc. and what you don’t use, can stay home. I just got back from Yosemite — 16 degrees and snow — and got the carpet wet … smelled after it dried. So, I took out all of the interior when I got home and installed a nice, luxury venial wood looking floor. It’s not as soft on my knees but it serves a better purpose. I am down to only taking what I need and use … my camper has two awnings, one on each side, I have never used them. Again, go out a few times before you start buying / adding stuff to it.
