New Rv add ons

[v2k]

When getting a new RV are there any added things needed?

What are some of the things that dealers try and up sale people on?

We added an extra dump gate valve close to the drain cap. With the main valves being cable open and close, we found there was always a little water when we arrived at our campsite. We had the t handle type valve installed. Very small upgrade but worth it to us.

The only problem is the warranty may get well used, but then your unit won't. Seems like warranty work is low,priority so it takes weeks for them to do anything.

Well, there are a handful of things you'll want for your first trip out:

But major add-ons:
- EMS
- TPMS
- Better tires
- Slide toppers

Other things to consider:
- Upgraded pinbox (something with cushioning vs. fixed)
- Better batteries (if you plan on boondocking)

We like them. For us, the positives far out weigh the negatives.

Helps prevent possible water leaks when it rains.

While making the deal for a new RV, have the dealer tires replaced with tires that you know and like.

While a few things are needed, here are a couple that IMO are not. First the expensive extended warranty, and second, that special coating they can apply to keep it looking new.
