Shake Down Period

[Whitexc]

So I can start gathering a go-to box for emergencies should they arise on the road, what size are the water lines in the Reflections? I know we all have our own way of doing things but I would love to see others “kits” and build off that.

Driveway camping.....honestly did not think of that. But is seems like a good idea since I have a gazillion tools win my garage.

Conner never heard of these....do you have a link on AMZ ? I have a leak detector which I go around the RV and check.

PEX in my Reflection are 1/2”. Kit inClyde’s a couple of sticks of PEX, clamps, cutter, crimper, fittings (coupler, tee, PEX to poly adapter, PEX to faucet adapter, plug, elk), hose clamps, check valve (for when the plastic ones fail).

There are plenty of lists of tools here on the forum as well. Probably most important is a torque wrench, some roof caulking and a caulking gun, some grease and a grease gun, small air compressor, six pack of beer.

six pack of beer.

Our shake down went relatively well. Only thing we really discovered was the pan drawer under the stove would open during the ride. Simple latch fix that. We later developed a leak when our slide was closed. Long story short, it was the top D seal that wasn't being compressed enough.
What was the real eye opener as a newbie was all of the other stuff that we purchased after. LOL I mean that list is long and $$$. Levelers, extra hoses, EMS, filters, extra power cords, TPMS, backup camera, topers, lithium battery, spares parts, filter. I still not at the end of that list and I'm not sure I'll ever be. For some unknown reason, the more time you spend on this forum the more frequent that Amazon truck is in your driveway. LOL

Well said and totally agree. Every time my wife comes out to my shop to see what I'm doing...I tell her I am working on the new camper. She always responds with: What are you working on? The camper is brand new! I tell her---you just don't understand honey. I am making it better! I keep her from seeing everything that I disassemble during the process. She only gets to see the end result of all my work.
