Upsizing from PUP to TT - What do we need?

The DH and I are getting ready to pull the trigger on a new TT. We've been pop-up camping for years, so already know what we'll need as far as dishes, cookware, paper products, etc.

But what are the must-have items that we don't know we need yet? Like for leveling, towing, dump stations, etc. Most of our camping is done at rustic campgrounds with no water or electric, occasional boondocking trip. Maybe once a year at a campground with electric.

See if this post helps you, I tried to cover the bare essentials needed for a first trip. I also talk about a handful of "maybe laters" that are nice to have.

Place to store it. Place to dump the tanks? Sufficient tow vehicle? The rest is pretty easy stuff you will pick up quickly
