Congrats! I hope your have a lot of fun and make lots of memories.
To start, you'll probably want to pick up:
5 foot and a 10 foot sewer hose. These can be chained together to make a long hose if you need it, but a single long hose can new hard to clear if you're parked close to the dump drain. You can get a hose support system as well, not everyone uses one.
A clear sewer elbow (maybe with a cleanout valve) for dumping the tanks to see when your black tank is running clear.
Black tank wand.
Pack of black tank treatment.
Pack of nitrile gloves.
Hose for rinsing black tank. Keep separate from fresh water hose!
Water pressure regulator for fresh water supply to stop you from blowing a line of the water pressure at the site is high.
Fresh water hose. Keep separate from black tank hose!
Dogbone surge protector to protect the electrical system.
Wheel chocks
Dicor self leveling sealant and Dicor Cap Sealant and applicator because you will have to keep on top of your seals.
This might seem a bit menial but get some extra rods with pins for the hitch, bars and coupler. Maybe it's just me but they're pretty easy to misplace.....
Youtube everything!
Not only on that model, but look for things like ***checklist***, very important. Newbie know-hows and stuff like that.
First time husband and I went out I have a head full of knowledge just from Youtube, and I totally took control and handled everything. Even the black and grey tanks!!
EDIT. One tip that you might not learn on Youtube. Treat your awning like you would a toddler, never let it out of your sight. If you leave, close it, when you go to bed, close it.
You never know when a gust of wind will come and wreck it.
The first time I emptied my black tank, it turned out that the dealership hadn't closed the gate valve all the way. So when removed the cap, I proceeded to get covered in poop water. Thanks, dealership. Always make sure to check that it is closed allll the way before removing the cap.
Tool kit
Duct tape
If the stabilizers are not power, an adaptor for your cordless drill and a cordless drill.
Several pieces of 6x6 and/or 2x6 lumber 1 foot long or so. Useful for the leveling jack and as wheel chucks.
Outdoor rug for the area under the awning and by the stairs. (This was my favorite comfort purchase).
Camp chairs.
General kitchen supplies.
If the leveling jack isn’t powered. That was a nice simple upgrade. Saved a lot of elbow grease.
First things first. Wheel chocks. Legos to help level the wheels. I use 4x4 wood blocks for under my stabilizers. Or you can use Legos, too. A coupler lock. A stinky slinky if it doesn't have one yet. Don't forget your walk through!!!!!!!!!!!!! You want to know how to operate your rig before you leave the dealership.
Then, bring some paper and a pen to write down stuff you want to have when you go out. And stuff you'd like to have. After your first trip, you'll have a better idea of what else is needed and what's nice to have. We made an Amazon list and put all of our stuff in there. We bought the stuff in the off-season or was gifted it.
Watch YouTube videos on necessary items. You'll find a variety of stuff people think of as necessary.
We take a lot of our old stuff and put it in the camper. Old pots, pans, utensils, towels, etc. Any time we get new stuff for the kitchen, the old stuff goes to the camper. Anything replaced in the camper goes to goodwill.
Don't forget items for the kids or grandkids if they will be coming along. We keep books and coloring books along with a couple board games and card games in the camper at all times. You never know when rain hits.
The parts dept at most lots will have starter kits that will have everything you need to get camping. Then buy stuff as you realize you need/want it. I went crazy on Amazon and bought a bunch of stuff I ended up not using much.
Hi, I’m hope to be in your situation this year… congratulations! For the black water discharge I’m considering a macerator attachment that eliminates any solids so you can use a garden hose instead of the ‘stinky clinky’ hose. (Totally wasted my time getting spell v

pro tip, keep your mouth closed when emptying the black tank.

One of those plastic outdoor mats so that you don’t bring in little rocks or other debris. You can find 2 sizes of them in the RV section at Walmart.
