Hello there...new to the motor home lifestyle. Recently purchased a 2017 Vegas 25.4. In Florida (near Clearwater), looking forward to start exploring the nation.
Welcome to the forum! Suggest you check out the excellent crowd-sourced manual for Vegas/Axis by forum guru Ed Felker. Find it as a sticky under RV Tech Topics. It was created for earlier model years, but much of the information applies to your rig too.

Welcome, similar situation for me. A bit further north of you. An favorite campgrounds down near Clearwater?
Although hard to get a spot, Fort DeSoto in Pinellas county is very good...waterfront sites. A little further south is Turtle beach in Sarasota. Also close to the water.
