You are going to learn fast about RV utility systems.  Fresh water tank,
grey holding tank, black holding tank, sewage valves that freeze,  12
volt electrical stuff, propane furnaces, and propane cooking appliances.
  The water lines are probably that gray plastic, which is OK if it does
not leak. A water line repair requires a special crimping tool. Also,
when pulling your 5ver, be aware of the clearance between the front
corners of the nosecap to the back window of the tow vehicle while
making a 90 degree turn, if you have a bike back there, you will need
extra room so as to avoid the front of the trailer contacting the bike.

All the best,

Thanks for the clues everyone. I just checked the GVW on the reg
paper and it says 4489 Kg... which means I can legally tow it
with my class of driver's license. So next November, the Snowbird's
gonna be good to flock off Southwards. Now I just gotta decide
which bike(s?) to bring along. Can I go canyon carving on an S40,
or my yet-to-be-rebuilt Triumph Scramthrux...
