Leveling blocks-I use pieces of wood planks
Sewer hose-I use a Rhino hose and have a full extension for it. Put one of the vinyl fence post w/gutter drawer on your DIY modification list. There are a few threads about that on RV.net.
Water supply hose-I have a white drinking water safe hose, a couple of them, IIRC. Bought it on sale at Camping world.
Pressure regulator-Yes, the Watts brand or similar with adjustment are the better ones, they allow better flow rate while regulating the pressure.
Surge suppressor-An electrical management system (EMS) is a better choice than a filter that just suppresses surge. They cost 4X as much. Some folks also have an autoformer which allows operation of appliances and devices, maintaining the correct voltage. Some of this choice will revolve around where you hook up and how often.
RV barbeque- Some folks like them but I have stand-alone BBQ gear so can locate where I want. Again, tied to preference.
New screen-I bought my LED/LCD at Sam's Club. It is mounted on an articulating bracket so viewing angles can be adjusted. The swing arm bracket is mounted on a piece of wood that spans three studs. The wood backer is glued to wall and screwed into the studs. You may have a location in your rig where the TV backer for a mount is already installed. There will be a sticker that says "Mount TV here" or similar.
Hope this helps and wishing you many happy miles!
