I believe there is indeed an book "RV's For Dummies" (Robin Williams sure could have used one) there are also generic "RV Owner's Manuals.  This forum usually recommends one which I forget the name of, I have the Woodalls book and in some respects found it to be better than the factory owner's manual.  Most RV/Camping world type stores will sell them (This does NOT iclude REI type stores which are more oriented toward tenting)

My best advice is "Don't worry"  You will find it's easy.... Just remember the proper sequence for emptying the holding tanks
