You need a CLEAR elbow for dumping your tanks. It helps to know when the water is running clear to know that the tank has actually emptied. Understand the procedure for dumping your tanks, especially the black. Make sure its at least 3/4 full before dumping. I just fill it with more water if its not quite full. You do not want to develop the dreaded poop pyramid.
GOOD chocks. The first time you unhook from the tow vehicle and the trailer starts to roll some you will definitely go buy good chocks after that, but change you undies first. Chock BOTH sides.
Don't go crazy and just fill it up with anything and everything you think you need. It all has weight. You should go weigh your rig after you get it. The procedure is well documented here on the forum. I have a '14 1500 Silverado that I tow a 6500lb TT with no problems. Better your aware of just how much your pulling to know you are within limits of your TV than an accident.
You will get good honest advice here as you can see. Don't be afraid to ask anything. There are no stupid questions.
