What will come with the trailer?

I bought a Vengeance 377V last week and will be picking it up this Wednesday. Do trailers usually come with power cord? Sewer hoses?
Also, this trailer has a half bath, so will I need two sewer hoses and one of those Y shaped splitters?
I have a shopping cart going on Amazon but I don't want to buy things that will come with the trailer.

Thanks.

Hello,

They will include a power cord, 25 ft average length. Depends on the dealer they might give you a starter kit with a 20 ft water hose, couple rolls of TP, plastic pressure regulator and dump hose, inexpensive one.

I would buy Rhino or other hi end sewer house and Y fittings. Electrical extension for you trailer, 30 or 50 amp, a good brass pressure regulator, 25 ft RV safe hose if camping in RV parks, more hose if rougher camping, outside mat as well.

X Chocks and Chock Blocks and lego blocks for levelling,

If this is a second RV you might have some of this already.

Sewer hoses will not come with normally. You could ask for it to be thrown in on the deal.

you will want to upgrade water and sewer hoses. Probably 2 of each so you have enough. Extension cord maybe. Water filter. Pressure regulator. Progressive Industries EMS unit.

make sure they come with batteries. may come with water filter (check on it). you may want a length of coax to attach to park cable if that is what you do. good tire pressure gauge. pouch to put all the various manuals into so they are all in one place. bottle of wine to enjoy when you are soaking it all in.

The things included with the starter kit are usually junk. Buy yourself good quality supplies and keep the starter kit as a backup.

Be sure to buy a lug wrench and a jack because chances are your trailer won't come with either.

A 6in clear pipe between your dump out and your hose is nice. That way you can see when the black water tank is running clear when you flush the tank.

X2 to the above items....I would add a good (craftsman, snap on etc.) quality torque wrench and a deep socket (ours is 19mm). If your budget allows add an18v or 20v battery powered 1/2" impact "gun"....makes changing tires and any other tough nuts easier.

Get the basics, Hose, power adapters, socket or lug wrench, sewer hose, then take it camping for a weekend. You may like myself find out the things you need are much different from what you initally envisioned.

Most dealers will sell a "box of random things that you will need" and in general that box is pretty valuable your first trip out especially if you have no idea what you are doing - as I did my first trip. I bought the box and found out that I had a use for all but one item...YMMV.

Absolute necessities for your first trip at a full hookup site:

fresh water hose
water filter
Rhino-Flex Sewer Hose (with rubber gasket donut for safe measure)
Sidewinder for the sewer hose.
4 wheel chocks
link levelers
sewer tank treatment solution
RV toilet paper
toilet tank wand and a separate section of hose for black tank flush
gloves (disposable or regular work gloves)
beer

You will indeed add/subtract/upgrade/downgrade as you go along.

And get a big bottle of Scotch (or similar perferred libation). For medicinal use only of course.

Don't forget a good Brass water pressure regulator, so you won't rupture the cheap plastic water fittings in your TT

Amazon's prices are usually better. You may want to get a surge protector hard wired. I camped near a Walmart the first two or three trips. Most of the stuff I got there. Put your trailer brand and model in the search box and see if there is information in a thread somewhere. One you camp you will understand exactly what you need. In my mind I'm happy to buy everything myself and get exactly what I need/want. Good Luck

or you can go on the cheap, get yourself a 24" breaker bar and a 24" piece of 1" black pipe. will give you a whole lot more torque than any 1/2" battery operated torque wrench can.

X2, that will be a good start, you will pick up more along the way.

Many years of good times great memories and frustration with poor workmanship. But the latter is made up for because of the aforementioned times and memories.

more like $300, but you get what you pay for. Best available.

1. Andersen #3604 Levelers. They can also be used to lift a tire off the ground (to change flat without a jack).

2. Weight distribution hitch sized to your setup.
