We figured we would use a local KOA for our first time just in case there are any problems or issues we'll only be 10 miles from home. So we'll be leaving today at about 5pm for our overnight maiden voyage.

Towing it's no problem because I bought it in Daytona and towed it back to West Palm Beach, what we wanna make sure is that the plumbing, appliances and other stuff works as it should. Not to mention we wanna make sure that we pack properly being it's our first time

Pack Properly? How do you do that?
If I'm like most folks I pack different every trip.
I think I don't need that thing I'll leave it home or I sure wish I had brought that thing I left home.
I don't think I have heard of Lion Country Safari where is it located?
Good luck on your trip.

Good luck on your trip. Well as far as packing... we just don't know what will make things more convenient yet so... you get the idea 
Lion Country Safari is a pretty cool place especially for the kids, they have a convenient KOA on premises. I built the giraffe cages inside and got the opportunity to drive through the entire place. I also installed the front electronic security gate on the KOA that's how I knew they had a KOA. They are located in the center of Palm Beach County Florida a few mile from the south east corner of Lake Okeechobee.

Regarding packing: I have a spiral notebook where I have kept our packing list over the years. It has been changed from RV to RV but has been pretty useful. We've never forgotten anything important. I keep a magnetic notepad in the RV to write down items we would like to bring next time or buy.
In my opinion, lists are very important. Set-up lists, take-down lists, maintenance lists. The list goes on....
