Make sure you pick up a #2 Robertson screwdriver, the square one. I picked up one at Lowes that is the 7 in one with the #2 and Philips and regular bits. Very handy. You will find a few loose screws all over the new rig. I like my Rhino sewer hose. Its a bit more rigid and collapses onto itself so it takes up less room to store. I keep mine in a plastic bin, not the bumper. I have 2 grey tanks so I do keep 3 10ft. sections and a wye to be able to hook up both tank take-offs..but your rig looks like it has only the one dump point. You should be able to get by fine with a 20 ft. kit.
As you go camping you will discover how you want to outfit your rig for your needs. Ours is always ready to roll. We set it up with its own pots and pans, small appliances like waffle maker, coffee maker, electric skillet etc. I keep other things in bins in the pass through like electric extension cords and lights, picnic table cloths and outdoor lantern. Basic tools and extra lock pins for my hitch, extra electric fuses, a small inflator compressor, a couple small 6x8 tarps. Things you may not use often but would be handy when you need them.
Now go camping and enjoy that nice unit.
