Hi Pam.
It is essential that you get the vehicle weighed (front axle and rear axle separately)when fully loaded with water and fuel and ready to travel in order to know and comply with your legal weight limits. I would usually advise people to do this before they buy any RV to save rude shocks.

Don't worry too much about getting all of the right "stuff". Everyone has different needs and there will be shops along the way to pick up those forgotten odds and ends. Generally, the mistake made by many is to take lots of things that they don't actually need or ever use.
Happy touring Pam.
Cheers,
Peter

Agree with above, too many things you don't need.

Get a decent wheel brace so you can undo the nuts & builders gloves to save your hands, especially knuckles.

There is a list of items down this page. Pick & choose carefully!

Pam, I would strongly suggest that you have your new motorhome thoroughly inspected by an Automotive Engineer that specialises in RV vehicles, with no connection to the dealer.

As someone once said "Please Explain"

 Any faults or latent faults in manufacture should be noted and referred back to Dealer, prior to the MH being used, for warranty repairs. Additionally all discrepancies in weights should be rectified, prior to going on road. Many manufacturing "defects" can cause a defect notice being placed on the RV and demerit points given to owner. Suggest you note the horror stories on Shonky and lemon sites, these have been verified by Professionals in the Industry. RV Industry is "self regulating" - Fox and Henhouse come to mind.
