A water hose (s) suggestion for newbies
It took me many years of RV'ng before finally learning that shorter is better. I gave up my fifty foot long stiff garden hoses and went to four 25 footers, and got the El Cheopo white ones in the RV...

why would you haul around a 10' 25' 50' and 75' as one suggested? the rv parks I stay at have a hose bib on the site.
I would think that would be obvious. Because we often stay in places other than RV parks with hookups. With hookups the 10' is usually enough though not always.
In many state and national parks and USFS campgrounds there are only a few faucets placed around the campground and to reach these I sometimes have to run the hose under or around the truck to the side opposite the filler cap location which is a 25' run and then another 10-15 feet to the hose bib location. This is also where the water thief attachment is needed.
We have stopped over at friend's houses during our travels and used their water to add water and this is where even 60 feet of hose may not be enough and I don't want to use their garden hoses. That is why I carry two 25' and one 10' hose. Easier to manage either the single 25' or single 10' which is all we need 90% of the time. The 60' option takes care of the other 10%.
