Things that I should get?

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.

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.

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 !!
