    I use a cordless drill (Not an impact) with the appropriate socket for the stabilizers, and bought the plastic leveling blocks. (More than often necessary, but you'd be surprised when you run out). Also, an extension cord for the power and extra hose for the sewer. We use (2) 6' folding plastic tables, they fold in half as well as the legs storing inside.

    Enjoy!
    Thanks (I didn't know what FHU is). All good suggestions!

    Give yourself about 2-3 hours to assemble and adjust the ProPride. It's a bit more complicated than your average hitch. Also, buy extra washers to put on the tilt pin. I put as many washers on the pin as I could get on it. This was per Sean at ProPride. For my half ton, this was the ticket.

    How much available payload do have with your truck?
    With that hitch and that size trailer you will be north of 1000 lbs easily
    Do you have that much?

    I second what kdpancake1 says about adding to/changing the list. With that in mind I'm starting a "my favorite things" tool box. A first aid, fix-it-fast and junk drawer kit. My personal go-to items. A screwdriver, lip balm, scissors, post-it's and whatever in one container. I'll start with basics (e.g. band-aids and superglue), adding things I find useful. If something sits in the box, unused for months, it goes. Eventually, the box will be personalized for me. A unique "list" of necessities, if that makes any sense.

    I have a big plastic toolbox, with plenty of compartments, because I think it'll be more convenient than a storage bin.
    But the type of container would also be a personal preference.

    Just an idea.

    Good list. The superglue idea is a great one. I use that a lot in woodworking and its just great for quick fixes (usually of mistakes). Thanks very much.

    1. Good Sewer Slinky. I recommend the Camco Rhino Flex.
    2. Camco Sidewinder Sewer Hose Support
    3. Camco Good Water Hose and separate black water flush (I keep 100 feet of water and 25 feet for black tank flush)
    4. 90 degree elbow for water hose entry to the tank/rv
    5. Renator RV Water pressure regulator
    6. Good comprehensive first aid kit
    7. Basic tool kit
    a. Socket/Wrench set
    b. Several adjustable wrenches
    c. Good set of screwdrivers
    d. Allen wrenches
    e. Good Digital Multimeter
    f. Basic plumbing fittings for emergency (Shark Bite style) with some length of Pex hose
    8. Good Wheel Chocks
    9. Rope/Bungie cords
    10. Baic Electrical connectors: and wire Crimp, solder/heat shrink, wago style etc
    11. Wire crimper/stripper
    12. Good Scissors
    13. Assortment of fuses
    14. Good leather gloves and disposable nitrile gloves
    15. HAMMER, never ever forget the hammer!
    16. Good two-way radios for no cell service
    17. If you are able to carry, a spare 20 pound Propane tank

    This is a good starter list. Remember, it is all about safety and being able to determine the best set of items to make permanent fixtures in your rig. Also remember, for first aid stuff, it is important to make sure the medicine included, asprin, etc it looked at and replaced at regular intervals to ensure expiration dates are not exceeded.

    I am sure others will chime in. Take it all in and put a starter list together and as you go out more, what is important will be come very obvious.

    Good Luck!

    Perfect list- I would add a Safe Jack but that was one of those ask me how I know lessons.
    Safety first- Enjoy the Journey!
