At my age, I not only forget where I put something, but my son also has a tendency to take my tools and not put them back.

- Camco Rhinoflex sewer hose with 45 deg connector (if the dealer offers a cheapop sewer hose ask if you can swap it for a water pressure regulator & dringing water hose)
- BAL X-Chocks
- Anderson leveling system
all the above can be bought @ amazon (and amazon has the best prices - especially if you are a Prime member )
That should get you started - be aware that moding your rig can become a addiction overnight
Search the forums for black tank cleaning and maintenance. Use the toilet paper that you like & follow the maintenance tips and you should have no problems.

Ditto on 1-5 suggestions. On a real snug budget 1-3 for sure but it will only be a matter of time before you end with the remaining 2 items.

Believe me #4 works great.
I ordered #5 hoping I never have to use them.

I did it! I brought the 5' folding laddder. Will it fit into the 4x4 fence post thingy? Or will I need the 5x5?
I would like to stay with the 4x4 because I would like to U bolt it on top of the back bumper. And the back bumper is 4x4.

Sheri,
Put it in your 4x4 bumper and make the 5x5 fencepost MOD for your sewer.
P.S. You will have room in your bumper for a few other things like OC's Ladder Mounted drying rack

I found another place to use the plate caddies as well as the sidekick grill the RV came with, over the weekend.
I purchased a regulator/hose adapter that let's me use the sidekick with the one pound propane cylinders. This also allows someone to use the sidekick, if they don't want to hang it on the side of the RV, utilizing the RV's low pressure propane grill connection...when camping if they wanted to.
Amazon.com: Camco 57628 6' Hose with Regulator and Female Quick-Connect: Automotive
Anyhoo, using u-bolts with wing-nuts, we were able to quickly attach the sidekicks grill bracket to the rails on a pontoon boat. Then using the adapter above, we grilled while out on the water............. and the plate caddies came in handy, for the seven of our food/drinks. The caddies did great while we were sitting around in the boat, munching out.
I have other grills I could have used, but the sidekick is small enough to fit under the boat seats, so it was stored out of the way.
Now to figure out what else in the RV I can use for double duty.

Great Idea! I have a small portable sunbeam grill that I used to use on my 18' runabout. I don't have the boat anymore but do still have the grill. But could see using the plate caddies on my Dad's pontoon boat.
