What I'm thinking of doing is adding a 10.3" Android-based head unit in the storage box to the left of the controls/existing radio. The unit will have navigation and can either receive it's own wireless signal or tether to my phone. This will allow me to update the maps regularly and create navigation routes on a laptop or home PC to share with the unit.

I have a backup camera, but not sure of the inputs. I like the idea of having a toad camera, so I might tie the side-view cameras into the new head unit discussed above.

I had not thought of used tires...the ones I have are about 6 years old and look good, but I've been told repeatedly that the tires need to be replaced every 5 years regardless of appearance...

Though several members of our family own Airstreams, Class As, or 5th wheels, this is literally our first RV. Here's hoping it's as rewarding as it appears!
