Congratulations on the purchase of your new Bighorn! I am sure you will love yours as much as my wife and I love ours. Dan brings up a great idea of using it a few times for short trips or stays prior to your big trip to shake out the bugs and find the few things that will inevitably need to be fixed so your big trip goes off without a hitch.
Also, this Forum is such a great tool, I would strongly urge you to use it often, join as a member and attend some Rallies to meet some like minded folks and develop some life long friendships.
The Washington Rally in Spokane and Oregon Rally in Coos Bay, are both in July just a couple weeks apart and we would love it if you could make one or both. The Oregon Rally is July 11th to the 13th and the Washington Rally is just two weeks later (July 25th to the 27th). If you join the club as an introductory member (free for the first year) of join as a regular member the Rallies are free and paid for by Heartland. If not, it's just a $20.00 fee for a couple.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP. As I said earlier, please use the forum as it is a great resource for all sorts of information and the folks here are so unbelievably helpful and have so much experience and knowledge they can answer just about any question you can ask.
