We have a 2015 30.2 and love it

Seems like previous owner took care of the MH so you should have the main issues worked out, but just in case here goes: immediately, as in right away not sometime maybe next year, check for loose wiring on the back of the water heater, and loose wire connections on the transfer switch and on the back of the main circuit breaker box (converter). Notorious problem on our model for yours and my model years. You'll sleep better knowing these are tightened up.
The stairs and basement storage areas are attached to the sidewall with minimal screws. My stairs separated from the wall of the coach, as did my entire rear basement. Add extra stainless screws now before you hear a giant thump in the night. We actually had a steel bar added for stairwell support. While you are at it, convert any lights that are not led to led (above the range light and the light in the stair locker were a few of the ones not led in my coach).
Those are the biggies.
The safety steer is great, but note it is really a steering aid in the event of a front blowout, I would never run a rig without it. You drove it a fair ways home (CA to FL? but that is more than 1200 miles!!) so you know how it handles.
If you were not fighting the wheel it probably had the "cheap handling fix" done by original owner; I added a rear track bar and sumo springs front and rear for improved handling but that is personal preference.
The 30.2 has a full wall slide. You have the upgraded 3 Trax system. Follow the guidance you read here about always extending and retracting fully and hold that button down for 3 seconds after all the whirring stops. Same for the overhead "princess bed".
Enjoy your coach, we love it.
If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
