Newbie in an rv

Just bought our first RV. Recently retired from the Navy and living in CT. Though still working, we are looking forward to doing some break in camping. Pick the baby up this upcoming weekend.

Welcome and thank you. And now congrats! Which model did you secure? What goodies?

The absolute first is power protection and I cannot recommend Progressive 30 portable box enough! Go to the big box and pick up a couple packs of keyed alike master locks with a shank width just large enough to fit the power cable, a extra power code 10-20 ft, and a 10 foot bike cable.

A water regulator, watts are considered very good. But anything to limit incoming to about 50 psi.

A tire gauge that will read 100 psi and fit all 6 tires.

We also are dependent on a preflight inventory and check list, and oddly enough a label maker.

Oh ya, your choice of slinky, and finding it a home....

PM me if I can help.....
