Travel trailer newbies

We bought a used RV travel trailer and are clueless about how to use it. We are going on our first camp trip to the beach this weekend. It is a 2010 Salem, self contained. Does anyone know how to turn on the fridge in a travel trailer? Should we turn it on the night before we leave so that it can be cold already when we start to pack food into it?

Also, how does one easily light the pilot for the water heater? Is there an easy way to do it without being so scared of blowing up the trailer?

Any help would be much appreciated.:smile:

Haven't ever had a tt, but you may find an online manual for either the trailer or appliances in question.

If you can run your fridge without AC power, you might want to pre-chill, at least that makes sense to me. As for pilot lights, I have no words. Wish you the best of luck and a successful maiden voyage!
