The DH and I are getting ready to pull the trigger on a new TT. We've been pop-up camping for years, so already know what we'll need as far as dishes, cookware, paper products, etc.
But what are the must-have items that we don't know we need yet? Like for leveling, towing, dump stations, etc. Most of our camping is done at rustic campgrounds with no water or electric, occasional boondocking trip. Maybe once a year at a campground with electric.
IF you have been pup camping for years. You already have "most" of what you will need as you mentioned. IF you are buying new. Most of the rest of what you "need" should come with it. You should get a WDH with the TT, a brake controller, and a "starter kit" Which includes a sewer hose, a water hose, a table level, RV toilet paper, and Black tank chemicals.
But you will need more leveling blocks, and more wheel chocks, plus a larger awning matt.
However for us. When we camp in a rustic CG with no hookups. We still use the campground bath, and restroom facilities, and so, we don't have to use the dump station.
BTW, You will miss your pup. But you will get use to it in a few years. After 10 years of having a TT, We still miss the more simple camping of the pup.
