The wiring and plumbing is not difficult once you get the concept.
There are 2 sets of wiring, 120v circuits that are fed from the incoming power cord, to a breaker box and out to the outlets and any AC powered accessories if equipped. One of the breakers will feed the 12 VDC power supply that charges the battery, and powers the lights, and any other 12v accessories. Some items, like the refrigerator, water heater and furnace are powered by 120v, 12v, and propane. Nearly all RV's are 120v/30a service. Very, very few are 220v. Be sure what you have before connecting it!
The fresh water plumbing is done in plastic pipe with compression fittings. Usually the fittings and pipe need to come from an RV supply. I haven't found it at hardware stores. There is a storage tank for fresh water with a pressure pump. You can also connect to city water if available. One good thing about RV plumbing, most of the plumbing is readily accessible under cabinets, beds, access panels. Very little is closed inside walls like a house.
The waste water will go to either the "gray water" tank, for the sink and shower water, or the "black water" tank, for the toilet. They can be held and drained, or connected to a flex line and ran to sewer. The drain components are typically ABS pipe.
The entire water system must be drained in cold weather. There are caps underneath that will drain the system. They make RV antifreeze, safe and non toxic, but I prefer to drain.
Don't be afraid of it, it's really simple.Lots of Youtube info, or ask at the RV dealer. They have showrooms full of parts and gadgets. Nice to look at, be aware though, RV dealers are ruthless when it comes to over charging! Check prices online or substitute when you can!
