“First Trip”
Ill start by saying we are seasonal campers, but we are going to pull it out and go for a extended weekend trip in October. So the only “trips” our Monty has had was delivery to our old campground then we moved it about 100 miles to our new site last fall. The 5er is a 2016 3911FB we bought new in July 2016. My question what if anything should I do to get it road ready? It’s about a 175 mile trip one way. I will make sure tires are aired up what else?

If those are the original tires I'd replace them all, particularly if they aren't Goodyear 614's or Sailuns. Tires aren't good for more than 5 years to start with and just sitting is harder on them than moving. Also Keystone didn't put decent tires on standard until they went with the Sailuns.

Since it appears you have been using your rig but not moving it, I would focus on these items.
