Go near, perhaps for a weekend, just to try it out. Presumably you know the list of things you need like water & waste container, hook up lead, gas bottle etc.

We've always found it best to keep stuff purely for in the van, like pots and pans, cutlery, melamine plates etc, towels, bedding. Saves on the packing for a short break.

For your first trip, i would stay local.

And look here.
