What Advice Do You Have for Our First Trip?

[Toasterlife]

I like a small folding stool. I sit on it when putting the stabilizing jacks up and down, and to do this I use a tire iron - quick easy and quiet. Other people swear by their power drills - they are fast and easy but like generators they are very noisy, can be heard across the whole campground, and make you about as welcome as an ant at a pic-nic, and you have one more battery to contend with...
The folding stool makes it easier to latch the awnings, and is generally useful, like when cleaning windows etc.
Also we have a lot of plastic tubs in the bed of the pickup to keep "like" things together and it is easy to slide them around to access things at the back of the bed. We keep a mostly empty one nearest the tailgate for "hitch related" paraphernalia, like blocks, the tire iron, stool, chocks, etc.
