    Travel Trailer on order. What does it come with and what do I need to order?

    We have a 2800BH on order, expected delivery mid November.

    What does a factory new Imagine come with as far as water hoses, sewer hoses, electrical cords, surge protector etc. I've got an email sent to the sales dealer.

    What else do I need to order? Manufacture and model numbers appreciated.

    I already ordered and have a Blue Ox Weight Distributing Hitch, a Curt 2 5/16" 15,000 lb trailer ball, a leveling scissor 3/4" socket and cordless drill.

    Thanks in advance.

    Congratulations. If Imagines come with the same hardware as Reflections you don't get anything with the trailer except propane tank(s) and a battery and a shore power cord. I think generally dealers will set you up with a "starter kit" which would include a sewer hose, water pressure regulator, etc. Extra power cords, adapters (water/electric), wheel chocks, leveling pads, water hoses (one fresh, one black), surge protection...all that stuff is extra unless you can negotiate this stuff into the deal.

    I consider a "starter kit" just another profit source for the dealer in most cases. I suggest the below at a minimum:
    1. Two high quality black water hoses and the clamps and connector to hook'em together.
    2. A "gate" to go on the outside of the black/gray water outlet. It keeps you cleaner and dryer when attaching and removing the above hoses.
    3. Two 25' fresh water hoses.
    4. Water pressure regulator
    5. 2 sets of rubber wheel chocks--from Harbor Freight w/20% discount coupon
    6. Set of X Chocks to place between the tires--for stability.
    7. One of the telescoping ladders that converts to a step ladder--again @ Harbor Freight @ $119 on sale.
    8. Whole trailer surge protector (I don't have one as our trailer stays in same campground all the time.)
    9. New set of tires--Bridgestone R250's, Michelin ribbed tire or Goodyear G614's.
    10. Good quality 50' water hose with a V adapter that has 2 water cutoff levers. Also need good hose nozzle.
    11. Electrical connectors--50 amp to 30 amp, 30 amp to 15 amp and 50' 12 gauge extension line (again from Harbor Freight.) Never know when you need to hook up to power pole with less than normal service.

    Don't forget the blender, rechargeable Shark vacuum, food processor, crock pot, portable ice machine, pots/pans and charcoal or portable LP grill. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
