dump hose, clear elbow, bucket to go under it just in case
fresh water hose
water pressure regulator
if you have a black tank flush, I use a separate hose for that
If two hoses are used, then a y-splitter for the hose bib
Yellow stackable blocks, I also have the rubber Hosspad ones I put under those
Your 30amp/50amp power cord
If you are 50 amp trailer, you will want an adapter to hook to 30 amp pedestals (dog bones)
Adapter to hook to a 15amp outlet at the house (or to hook to generator)
I have a bin for culinary water hoses/items
I have a bin for black tank hoses/adapters/items
torque wrench
socket for trailer tires
your tool box with common things
a tire pump that can go to 100 psi (? not sure on the psi but some don't go very high and rvs run at higher psi often)
truck to be setup for 5th wheel hitch and light/brake cable
Bring a level until you get used to leveling your trailer or install the hopkins below
Ultimately I installed the Hopkins Graduated Levels even w/ my auto leveling system I use them
I like the andersen camper levelers (good if not level by > 1")
RV toilet paper (or a brand you've tested in the quart jar)
Propane
spray bottle of clorox for spraying the rv park hookups
box of disposable gloves
black tank digester
water filter for incoming fresh water hose (camco makes one that is cheap and decent)
broom/dust pan
i have a 90 degree adapter for my fresh water hose so it hangs down not out
a really good quality tire pressure gauge
Other items on this thread but not necessary for initial trip unless you think so. See my post at the end about a tool list I put together.
