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 chocksLeveling padsWheel leveling blocksSewer hose support 3 in total as we have 2 discharge50amp to 30amp adapterSewer hose storage compartmentThanks in advance.JR

Might want to think of a stabilizer for the kingpin, This suggestion may start a conversations both pro/con. But it works for us. We also mounted 2 of the (3 drawer) plastic bins from Walmart in the basement for hose adapters, tools, etc. and made fishing rod holders from pieces of PVC pipe (mounted those to the ceiling)of compartment. Make sure (when/if) drilling you don't drill into wiring or pipes. I'm sure others will have other ideas. Congrats! on the new 5'er, and Happy Camping !!

Tool kit, box of the blue gloves, 2 way radios can be handy so the wife can help guide you in, ext cord, shelf liners, tire gauge, nylon disk for hitch, list of procedures for packing up, hooks to hang keys up, inverter, good flashlight, charging cords for phones, + lots more I can't think of right now,

I use plastic household gutter to support my sewer hose. It comes in 10 ft. sections. Saw each section in half and it stores easily. A few wooden blocks of varied thickness to support the gutter works great.

If you got couple of cell phones, you can forget the radios.one cal the other and put them both on speaker and you got hands free commo in the truck.

Don't forget the margarita maker.

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.

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.
