If you are starting from scratch get ready.
White fresh water hose, water pressure regulator, water filter (optional).
Sewer hose (25') I have viper brand, also get disposable gloves for this task.
Power cord with different adapters depending on your setup (15,30,50 amp) along with a surge protector.
Wheel chocks. I have the x-chocks, these help with front to back motion in the trailer when set up.
Leveling blocks for side to side leveling.
If you have manual stabilizer jacks, a 18v drill with an adapter will help speed up the process.
You should have toolkit customized to your rig with a good breaker bar and maybe torque wrench for changing tires. An 8-12 ton bottle jack is a must.
Other items I have invested in are a ground mat for outside the door, camping chairs, other household items (silverware, cleaners, swiffer, etc) so I don't have to always remember them.
Some brands are better than others, just check the reviews or ask on here if you aren't sure.
