Must Have Items

[clrhflower]

What plumbing add on item must you purchase before leaving the dealer lot? Thanks.

Toilet paper!

Ok, in addition to the all important paper..LOL let me embellish my question. I'm new at this, I know I need a waste line...however, I would like your input on those little mysterious items that one needs and does not think of (know about) prior to leaving the dealer lot.

Plumbing:
Treatment solution(s) for black/gray water.
Fresh water hose.
Donut for sewage hose.
Holding Tank Rinsing wand (or other method, if not built in).

Electrical:
30 -15 amp adapter plug (or dog bone).

Other:
Plastic flamingo (2)

Other stuff:
Leveling blocks (to put under the tires)
Level if there isn’t one attached to the trailer
Support for sewer hose (so it flows downhill all the way if at a full hookup site)
Pressure reducer for fresh water if not already installed in the trailer
50 amp to 30 amp convert pigtail (you never know – I’ve used mine)
Charcoal filter you can use to fill up fresh water tank (always smell and taste the water before you put it in your trailer)

Nice to have:
US flag
Military Flag (Navy preferred, but I’m biased)

given YOUR location, the FIRST/most important item is...

a "bypass valve/winterizing kit".

in fact ASK/insist that the dealer INSTALL one for you.

this will make life MUCH easier over the winter.

MUCH depends on if this is just a tow HOME, or camping and if camping WHERE and how long....

there are 100s of threads on the 'essentials for camping' and some really well crafted LISTS of basic/advanced rv gear...

2 places 2 start...

an extra tooth brush is a good idea also, or put a really long string on the current one...

Do you travel with dogs? I live with 3. Sure wish I had an outdoor shower for giving them baths. Maybe you'll hunt or play where there's mud?

Skip the stinky slinky IMO. Get a Sewer Solution--see this thread--> Sewer Solution is the poop

Hose "Y" for those times when you only have one hose pipe connection for two campers.

Go get a high quality brass model in the plumbing section of HD or Lowes - don't get the ones with the valves built in from the garden section of the store. The brass ones allow full unrestricted flow to each trailer or user - if you want to have a campsite hoes available without disconnecting the camper hose.

BRASS quick connect fittings for water hoses - makes connecting in the dark a "SNAP" - and sealing hoses for transport easy.

Bleach - for cleaning connectors and hoses after use and storage to prvent contamination - a small spray bottle of 10% solution to clean camp site connectors - the bugs love damp drips from hose pipes.
