Our first trip was a short weekend, as sort of a trial.
not sure if you have a 50amp or 30amp, but a 50/30 adapter and 15/30 adapter is useful too. I was at a place once where the 30amp outlet wasn't working, so i used the 50 amp w/ adapter
also since 30 is pretty common, I've heard the outlets are often more used and get loose/worn, so the 50amp is sometimes a better more solid connection anyway.
also a heavy duty extension cord, 10 or 12 gauge
small things: extra fuses, bungees, velcro, electrical tape, duct tape, comes in handy for random stuff. we also keep a bundle of paracord in case we need to tie something down.
These things would be at the top of my list, if you don't have them already from your previous TT. As you travel more, you'll discover some CG's have real "creative" layouts to their utilities. Previous responses to your post have given you great advice so I'll not add anything there. Do be flexible, keep your sense of humor and expect that this will be a learning experience. There is something to be gained by meeting adversity head-on (like the time I left our 12V cooler plugged in overnight and drained the battery in our TV in Yellowstone). In so doing you'll often find help just a site or two away (we did). You'll meet nice folks in the process. Before you know it, you'll be returning the favor by helping others in the same place you are now. Enjoy & safe travels.
