Brand new to anything but tent camping

Another couple probably pretty dumb questions I thought of to ask you all while its on my mind.. Are there any certain hoses and cords/adapters I need to get? I obviously never hooked up to water or anything like that so feeling a little lost there!

Walmart will probably carry an RV cord that will work. Double check on the plug, make sure it will plug into your camper. Also pickup an adapter for the RV cord so you can plug it into a standard household outlet - this is for just using low power things like lights and fans on the camper, especially when you are home loading up for a trip. I carry two 30amp cords for my camper, every so often a campsite will have the electrical connections far away and the extra cord is nice to have.

I carry two 25ft white "drinking water" hoses, also from Walmart. These are usually white with a blue stripe. They are (supposed to be, at least) made from rubber that will not impart the "hose" taste to water. I also carry two standard green garden hoses to use as "grey water" drains - this is just for the grey tank, or shower and sink water, NOT toilet water. Many campgrounds have grey water drains, makes it nice to be able to take long showers without worrying about filling up your grey tank.

Keep reading these forums, and feel free to ask questions! Everyone has their own way of doing things, and prefer different setups for camping. You'll figure out what you like as time goes on.
