My wife and I pick up our new 2025 momentum 397ths next week. It's our 1st camper. I'm a traveling IBEW lineman and am bringing the family on the road with me. We've read and watch many videos and will probably still have tons of questions along the way. We have an Amazon cart filled with stuff we'll need, what if anything does the camper come with? Electric cords? Or anything. We have our Amazon cart full but are looking to see if we need it all or if the rig comes with anything.

Thanks in advance

Marc and Amber
 
Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to ask questions, there is a huge knowledge base here. As to your first question, your rig comes with a 30’ 50A cord. Some dealers will supply or give discounts on a “start up package”. Safe travels.
 
@ReddyforAdventure This forum is great for helping you fill up your Amazon cart - but all in good faith and a lot items I never would have thought of. Some of your needs may depend upon your use of the camper and where you plan on camping, let alone age, kids, pets, etc. Here are a couple of links with a lot of ideas.



 
Welcome to the group!

There is no shortage of additions. There is a list in the reference section here.
But do recommend an extension to the 50 amp cord of at least 25 ft. May not need it often but when you do you will be so glad you have it.
Another thing we like having but not always necessary is a 50 to 30 amp adapter along with a 50ft 30 amp cord, so much easier that dragging out the heavy 50 amp cord for overnights if you stop and plug in. Especially if you have a few over nights in a row. If we know we'll be stopping for an over night we coil it up in front of the entry door for a fast grab.

The list can grow to an insane amount of you let it.. Then you'll be happy to have the garage area for storage!
 
Welcome to the forum and the GD family.

My suggestion is to always just get the basic accessories (water and sewer hose) and then go use the rig. You'll find out quick enough what you really need versus what you might just want.

We've all been there - got cool accessories only to find we didn't use them that often and could have done without.

Now - as far as the DW's kitchen needs - pay attention there too!!

Safe travels.
