I would recommend the same as what "Rumtan" mentioned. We brought the camcorder and asked questions during the PDI on some of the points we were unsure of such as:
1) Care for tanks (Chemicals, Toilet Paper...)
2) Wheel bearing care
3) Fuse and breaker location
4) Maunal Slide Out care
Welcome to "Jayco"
We absolutely love our Jayco Jayflight 25RKS. I hope you love yours as much!
HAPPY CAMPING!!!

Thanks for the replies. This will be my third RV but my first one I have to travel to pick it up. (I live in NH but bought it in Albany NY.) I will post pics after we pick it up and go out camping in NY, can't wait as this is our first trip to the State of NY!

I can give you some info on Deer Run Campground. I am from Schaghticoke and my parents currently live off route 40( same stretch of road the CG is on) Last summer the wife and I decided to go in to scope out the place with our 5 year old daughter in tow. We spoke to the people who were working there and they were not too helpful I did notice most camper there seem to be permenanet (not my style) ask them a few questions got no answers so continued to look noticed the sites were real close however seemed to be clean. Now I will say don't dare drive a half mile over the speed limit. Was driving when a person jumped in front of my vehicle yelling and screaming (as if I ran over a kid) slow the hell down as soon as he jumped in front of my truck I happend to look down at my digital speedomter and it said 9 mph My daughter was scared half to death I waved said sorry he came to my window asked me what lot i was in I told him I was not camping but just looking and told him not to worry because I would not be returning so my opinion would be to go 45 min north to the Adorondacks to say the Lake George area there is alot of good camping in them there hills. As far as things around Deer Run. You have Scgaghticoke really nothing but my old Hoosic Valley High School. Take a right out of the Cg and you have Mechanicville just on the right there is an OTB shares the parking lot with the Golf Course. The horses are running in Saratoga so an OTB will come in handy but as far as Mechanicville goes nothing exciting. Now Lake George area plenty to do alot of history there and alot of hiking trails or if you just want to stroll through the village. My wife loves this place and she is not from New York. If you have any more questions just ask and I will try to answer. Enjoy the camper and wherever you decide to camp. Brian

It may be your 3rd RV, but i have to agree with the above quote. Best of luck.
