Cessna 182 or 182RG tips?

Our club is worried that we're not going to be able to get insurance for
our Lance any more. (We had to switch to a named pilot policy this year,
previously anybody in the club could fly it if they met the currency and
checkout requirements.) Plus the Lance is going to need a new engine next
year, and we don't want to put $25K+ into a new engine if we won't be able
to keep the plane for more than a year or two.

So now we're looking at replacements, and one type of plane that people
keep mentioning as a possibility is the C-182 or C-182RG, because it has
similar performance to our Dakota, but better interior room. I've never
flown a high wing before. Is there any tips or hints you could give me to
help the transition?
