Bought a 179, now what do I need to buy?

Welcome and happy camping. You will get some great advice off of this forum. I too, just went through this same thing when we purchased our 180 (over the 179) and got some great advice from this forum and other areas. here are a few things to consider that I purchased:

Surge protector
Voltage tester
50 amp to 30 amp power adapter
Water pressure regulator
Water filter
Clear black-water 45 degree elbow for flushing black water tank
Hose 'Y' adapter and two separate hoses (1 drinking and 1 utility)
Wheel chocks
Leveling blocks
Stabilizer jack pads
Small misc. tool kit

These are just a few that come to mind. I don't have my list with me.

The Camco water pressure regulator without the gauge is the one I use. It works just fine. I don't need to adjust the pressure, just limit it to 50 psi or lower.

The adapter you are looking at is not needed. That is a 30A male to 50A female adapter. The R-Pod is 30A. You might want to get a 15A male to 30A female adapter if you don't have a 30A, 120V outlet.

I think many of us carry two hoses --one dedicated for drinking water and the other for utility and flushing the black water tank.  I also got an Anderson leveler which makes leveling very simple.  You will need a level if you don't already have one.  I recently got a pair of rubberized gloves from Harbor Freight that I use when draining the tanks.

My dealer had a "RV welcome kit" that came with the camper but maybe you didn't get one.  Our kit contained the sewer hose and connections as well as the water hose and pressure regulator (this item is very important).  There was and initial supply of holding tank chemicals.  Some of these kits come in a 5 gallon bucket --  handy to have and can double as a trash can.

If you plan on camping where there are full hook-ups, I would recommend a pair of large slip joint pliers as the covers on the sewers are sometimes misaligned and very hard to open.

Originally posted by sailor323 An adapter so you can plug into 50 amps (male on the 50 amp side and female on the 30 amp side)

How often would that be needed? All the places I have been to since we purchased our R-Pod that have had power have had 20A and 30A plugs. If there was a 50A, the others were present also.

Consider a 90 degree water hose adapter to connect fresh water hose to pod. Prevents the hose just sticking straight out being a trip hazard. We also purchased a small electric space heater for about 20 dollars. Does not get hot enough to be a fire hazard but keeps the pod fairly warm in moderate temps without using LP gas. 50 to 30 adapter?  Not considered that but I figure if I find I need one then I am probably at the wrong campground ($$$).
