Hi and welcome to the new world of camping! Our '07 ROO came with the el cheapo stinky slinky, but it lasted us the entire time we had it - 6 years or so. No leaks, no problems. We did make the investment in the clear fitting. Our new TT came with the OEM and it got trashed when the cap came off the bumper and it slid part way out and dragged for a few miles. We stopped at a CW and whatever it was they had on sale was what DH bought....don't see him investing in a high dollar set up, so it's likely mid range. Kept the clear fitting. We also have used Odorlos for years and feel like it does a great job. It was tough to find for a while....CW had it, then they didn't, then they did, but it is available online and also on ebay for a reasonable price. We originally used the blue stuff because that was what we used in our big boat back in the mid 80's, but too many of them have formaldehyde, so we steer clear.
Definitely the good brass pressure regulator. Some campgrounds have them built in now, but just unscrew yours and stow it. Strongly suggest, and I don't know the true name for this thingy, but you keep it plugged into an outlet and it tells you what the power supply is. We've been known to change over to 50amp when we get too close to the red area on the gauge and it puts us back in safe territory. Usually more crucial in hot weather when all the A/Cs are running.
You may have a built in black tank flusher. Our Rockwood does and it does a great job and lots easier on the old body than getting down to set up the tornado on the HTT.
We have added the 50amp adapter with about 12" cord as a standard on board item. Never know when we'll need it. Yes, we have used it several times. Also carry an extra fresh water hose for the same reason.
Otherwise, pretty much the same as in late summer '06 when we got our HTT. Enjoy and happy camping!
