New RVer, what options to add??

Picking up a Kodiak 292 on May 24th, adding enough etrack and condor chocks for three bikes. First long trip set for mid-June. What parts/options/goodies would be a good add. Water regulator? Power cords? Surge protection? Give me your thoughts since I'm very wet behind the ears!!!

Most of what we have planned is campgrounds or racetracks. Racetracks generally have electric only or we would run a generator.

Surge protector! I have known two campers that plugged into the campground grid and the fried their units. I went with a portable Progressive Industries model (so I can keep it if I change units).

Where to start. Wheel chocks, 30 to 15 amp adapter, Jack & lug wrench, tools, level bubbles mounted on (front) left side & left front side. After your first trip keep a note book & write down the things you need. You'll find adding to that list all the time.

I've had all sorts of different types of wheel chocks...
these Fastway chocks are the best I've every owned.
Their expensive, I paid $150 for a set...
