What about under the stabilizer jacks? Do we need any type of pads on soft ground? We just used chunks of 2x4 on the PUP.
The new TT should come with an adequate battery for your electrical needs - fridge(on propane) and water pump included. If you dry camp, you'll need some sort of means to recharge the battery every couple of days. If you're using your shore line, the battery should recharge automatically while plugged in.
I use some small 4"x4" decorative pavers for under my stabilizers. I'd use something a little wider than a 2x4.
On an earlier post, you asked about between wheel chocks..... our first trip in our Roo 23SS, we didn't have the between wheel chocks. DW was frantic about the movement. I ordered the appropriate items when we got home and haven't been without them since. But, that's your call - chock your wheels and see what you think.
