Topic: What do I need??? Posted: 21 Mar 2014 at 8:37pm |
We are picking up our new Rpod 177 tomorrow.
We are very familiar to camping with our tent trailer and I know what I need to camp in it. We will be stopping for the night at a Washington State Park on the way back. The Rpod is suppose to be ready to go with new batteries (I ask them to charge them up), full tank of propane, and water in the tank. We will have our personal stuff. We are using my work truck to tow the pod home and my truck is full of tools. I put a bottle jack in the truck too. We will mainly be sleeping the night and then hit the road in the morning. Anything we should have for the first night quick camp? TIA... |

Sway bar and equalizer hitch. Make sure that they include the shore power line and sewage hose and its fixtures with the package.

My truck, Dodge 2500 Cummins diesel, does not need an equalizer hitch. It can and has towed 20K+. It has a sway bar too with the camper package springs.
I believe the Rpod comes with a 30 amp shore line. I am not sure about sewage hose. Anyone know? |

If the dealer does not include the sewer hose, they all have one kind or another for sale. Short clear pipe for seeing when the black tank is clean if you have a black tank flush. 90 degree elbow that is required at some campgrounds to hook up to the sewer connection at the ground and some campgrounds and states require the use of a sewer hose stand so that the sewer hose does not lay on the ground when connected at a campsite.
White water hose and pressure regulator for the city water connection. A different water hose for the black tank flush and The Water Thief...if you have a black tank flush. As you camp you discover little things that will come in handy to make your camping trips easier and fun. Goose |

This may sound obvious; but it took us a while to figure it out after years of tent camping: we like blankets and sheets in a camper better than sleeping bags.
Actually, I just re-read your original post and you said tent TRAILER. You probably already know all you need to know about what to bring along in your Pod.

First night out - S'mores! The two are not related. Enjoy!
