Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Since we are getting a new camper - and have never actually used our own camper at The Fort ..How many; what size; etc hoses, power cords, sewer lines, etc do we need. Everything we should bring - if you bring it, list it here! Anything to make sure we have a relaxing stay - you're welcome to come over cook and supply Mousekeeping and turn down service :'( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 We always have a drinking water hose that we connect to a water filter. I believe we have 2 heavy duty electrical cords with the 3 end whatchi callee. Plus an extra 25 ft sewer hose for those times that one doesn't reach. Oh and Mike always has a tool chest with him :'( you just never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCTigerCock 171 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Check the unit first to see what the prior owner left you. If anything.We lucked out and had two sewer hoses, 1 water hose, set of leveling blocks, 30 to 50 amp adapter and cable/phone lines left in our unit. I.e. the dealership didn't take them out first. Most dealerships will offer you a kit for a fee and normally throw it in for free when haggling.Agree with the cable length. We had to purchase and extension when we were at the Fort last July. Wal-Mart is cheaper.Latex gloves for those sewer connections and dumping. :parrot: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the fact we would use 30 Amp cords, etc since that's what our RV uses.re: bringing way too much stuff ... you should have seen all we brought when we were renting from http://makecampingeasy.com aka Donnie aka stacktester (we can't thank him enough!)
