Made the purchase, what's next?
Thanks everyone for the advice on the other thread. I pulled the trigger this morning on a Forest River Rockwood Windjammer 3001W at auction. It's a 2012 and real clean. I'll next join Good Sam, ca...

What's great about Amazon when you search for "camping trailer accessories" is that not only do you see the biggest assortment in the world at the best prices you will find, but you can read customer reviews on anything you like and make a decision on whether it is needed or if good quality.
Amazon rarely has the best prices. They like to jack around with prices so be careful. They are great to window shop and figure out what's good but you can often do better elsewhere.
Another place with stuff you may need in a pinch is WalMart. Not a fan of WM but when you need camping stuff TODAY (or late at night/early in the AM) and a Camping World isn't nearby they are great.
Take note what they "give you". At minimum you will need:
1. Drinking water hose (I skipped the white and went with the 1/2" heavy duty blue).
2. Sewer hose. The one they give you is a joke - ours was as flimsy as a dryer vent. I bought the Rhinoflex combo from Walmart.
3. If you have 50A service, get the 50-30A dogbone and the 30A to 3 prong adapters. If you have 30a, get the 30a to 3 prong only. That way you can at least plug in at home now to charge batteries and run limited stuff.
4. Wheel chocks.
5. Boards or other leveler system (Lynx, etc)
That should get you going. We also got the 90 degree water adapter and a disposable filter.
