There's not much a new DS will need, except for your personal items. We bought ours new in January off the lot. If you ordered yours, it should be pretty much ready to go. Here's what we've done to ours, mainly because I like projects:
-I exchanged the sat dome for a Winegard Travler.
-Upgrade your microwave from the Frigidaire to the Advantium if you still can.
-I replaced the front hood support rod with pistons.
-We replaced the Sleep Number bed with a pillow top.
-Added the ProFill battery watering system.
-Added a SaniCon macerator, had one before.
-Ours had a pantry next to the refer. We ordered two extra drawers from Newmar, there is actually room for three more.
-They mount the driver's mirror up against the driver's window. I turned it out so that it was farther away....you'll see what I mean.
INSIDE:
We bought bathroom towels, shower mat, bath carpet, trash cans, new plates, silverware and bedding. We also bought things like clear plastic bins for the refer to keep things from moving, like sodas and condiments.
I've done a ton of things to my "new baby". It's my hot rod and I like personalizing things and making things fit. Ours is a 4018 and the storage is limited because of the tag. There is no storage past the rear wheels on either side.
PM me for ideas or to talk about what I've done.
