Things that I should get?

[wellcraft]

Hi guys and gals, not new to rv'ing as we have owned a 24' tt since 08 but upgraded to a 35' 5th wheel recently and this time we want to do things the easier way since we have a decent amount of space. While we owned the tt I never had the goodies to make life easier. When hooking up the sewage hose I had a hard time leveling the hose and what not, this time I want to have a set of hose support and was wondering what do you guys recommend, I already have the Y adapter and need to buy 2 extra hoses.

I'm not familiar with what's needed with a 5th wheel but I guess it's very similar to a tt, any suggestions if there is something I should consider.

Next is a list of things I would like to get, if you wish you can add to my list with your suggestions, diy ideas are welcome too.

Wheel chocks
Leveling pads
Wheel leveling blocks
Sewer hose support 3 in total as we have 2 discharge
50amp to 30amp adapter
Sewer hose storage compartment

Thanks in advance.

one cal the other and put them both on speaker and you got hands free commo in the truck.

Not a good idea to forget the radios. There are places out there where there are no cell phone signals. When traveling with other campers, other than yourselves and you need to contact them, the only way is with radios. I know from experience when on a trip from Louisiana to Utah.

search for 7' double sided rung ladder.

Click on the ladder and you should be able to view a video.

Works great, well built, sturdy. Use to clean off slides, trim back branches, wash windows, ect.

I have the same ladder as CB, but just store in pass through storage. I like that it is easy to get to location to use. As an over 50yr old female, I have found I can drag it to where I want, then stand up and spread out.. No real lifting.. and I feel it is sturdy enough for me to climb to clean slide tops and check things higher than I can reach.

How is that ladder working out for you? What do you use it for? I read mostly good things about it.

[GoPackGo]

I've never seen a ladder fold up that small. What brand is it, Please.

Thanks.

Here's an idea for storing sewer hose.
