We've been fine with just one sewer hose of 8-10 feet (I guess 10ft if fully stretched), but that is mostly for dump stations - we rarely camp at full hookups.
What I do highly recommend is two 15ft freshwater hoses and two 25ft grey water hoses.
Electric cords - our TT came with a 30ft 30amp cord, I picked up a 25ft 30amp cord, and we are set. I've only had to use the 25ft a few times, but it sure was nice having it. As mentioned previously get the adapter plugs for the cords.
I bought one of those economy "tool kits" that come in a plastic folding case from Walmart. Has hammer, screwdriver, wrenches, pliers, wire stripper, some wire connectors and fuses, etc. Low quality, but it has worked fine for me.
Try to make your first few camping trips to be near Walmart or other big store so you can run out to get what you need. Either way, make a list of things you need/want as you camp.
And yes, a few years down the road you will be pulling out of the camper all the stuff you swore you would need....
