First slug of RV supplies for a first timer. What do I need?

Supplying my new TT.

This is what I have on my list:

Water inlet hose
Water pressure regulator
Upgraded sewer/black line
RV level
Leveling block set
Wheel chocks
Jack cap/block
RV toilet paper
RV toilet cleaner
Black tank/toilet chemicals
Grey tank deodrizer/chemical
Scissor jack socket drill adapter

Anything else I need that is RV specific (obviously not talking about things like towels, plates, hand soap, etc).

  • See Rving FAQ above. There are several lists under #2.

    Not sure if it’s included there, but always bring a good sense of humor, and booze.
  • make sure fresh water hose is white for rv hose. pen and paper to write down anything you think of when you make your first camping trip. there are lists out there on the web and also at the top of this page where is says FAQ's you will see topics and lists for just about anything. take a few basic tools with you, big hammer, duc tape, area rug for wiping your feet before going into the TT. I just look for the lists and they are so many they are longer than the street you live on
  • number 2 square drive bit , voltmeter , extra bright spot light for the neighbors reading lamp.

    Regular TP is fine, just dont stuff whole rolls down the hole.
    add a 50' cheaper garden hose for cleaning the sewer hose.
    At the least get a 3'x5' spot rug to put below your steps to cut down on dirt.
    20 to 30 amp adaptor and 50 to 30 also.
    Surge protector
    There are dozens of other items you will determine over time. but you have the majority of the "must haves" listed.
  • Forget the RV TP........regular TP septic safe is OK
    RV TP is 'high priced' thin tissue paper.....used to lighten your wallet and to wipe your finger with after pooping

    Waste tank chemicals.......just use dihydrogen monoxide :B

    IF your black tank has a built in flush system.........standard garden hose and a "WYE' to connect potable (drinking hose) and garden hose to CG spigot
