What do you wish you bought sooner?

Dexter EZ flex equalizers, bronze bushings and wet bolt kit!
If your asking about accessories.... power tongue jack. (Edit, I see you have a 5'er).

Yes an extra power cord, but you can get that cheaper than thier discount price at Walmart. An extra fresh water hose, I have a 25 footer and a 50 footer, I have used both water and power at some campgrounds! A good quality sewer hose! Again just as long or longer than the fresh water and power. Only once have I used all 35feet of my sewer hose, and it was stretched tight!!

In the last six years I have only needed a longer power cord once. If I had $400 to spend I would buy more batteries, either 2 six volt golf cart batteries or if you have the space get 4.

A complete change out of every lamp in the coach to LED. It does nothing but pay you back.

We're happy we added a second battery and had the dealership install Maxx-Air vent covers so we can leave our vents up all the time. I have never needed a power cord extension, but I would love to get a surge protector. Maybe next year!

Absolutely wish I had purchased a Progressive Industries EMS w/Surge Protection much sooner than I did. I've now running a hard wire EMS-HW30C (10 pics) and it's disconnected power several times each season to protect our trailer's electrical system so I'd not now ever plug in while camping or when parked here at the house without it. Absolutely a wise investment for any RV owner camping on electric sites. :B

Anderson Levelers would have to be considered.

ONLY if the leveler will fit between the tires - quite a few rigs on which it won't, even if trimmed. :(

I bought an extra power cord after our first season camping... I seem to need one a lot! Also, 2 25ft fresh water hoses, 2 25ft "gray" water hoses (basic garden hoses), and the cap for the camper's sewer drain that a hose can attach to in order to use grey water drains at a lot of the campgrounds around me.

After all your basics, what I really like is a good quality portable grill. Can be either stand alone or a picnic table top grill. Most camper's kitchens are smallish, and being able to cook the main course outside really gives more room inside. Also doesn't fill the camper with cooking smell everytime you cook something. Keeps grease and mess from things like sausage and bacon from getting all over the inside of the camper. And... a steak tastes much better on a grill!

Anderson levelers. There have been a few times when we can't use them because the ground is to slippery bur otherwise I love them.

Recycled exterior rubber stair tread like this will solve that problem nicely.:)
