First has to be my electric tongue jack! Or at least my 16 year old son's. Maxx vent covers, and a good broom to clean the roof and slides before retracting.

If you get a Flush King buy a water hose (not white) to go with it.
Congrats on the new TT !!
Thanks! Water filtration for entire trailer was installed by the manufacturer, as was an external black tank flush fitting. The bathroom vent already has an incredibly powerful fan in it (makes gale force winds in there by sucking air through the floor vent) but I could put a Maxx-Air in the bedroom. I already have a Weber Q 200 and collapsible cart for it...I should have gotten the Baby Q (presumably that's the same as the Q 100), as mine is about 1/2" too tall to fit in the pass-through storage area, and has to ride on the kitchen floor when I'm towing.

Yeah, got that one covered ASAP. :-D Funny to see someone from Mead posting to this thread. The trailer's primary function is to house me when I'm skydiving on the weekends. I run a skydiving school associated with an outfit that was previously in Mead (moved to Davenport 7 years ago and move to Ritzville is in progress).

don't forget to get the proper adapter for the electrical hookup to your gen or it won't help you a bit. tire covers, another piece of advice is to get the heaviest duty sewer hose you can buy, it now every time you take it out of the storage place or drag it across the ground you weaken the hose and they get little pin holes in them and then you get the scrum all over your shoes.

The slide cover keeps all the leaves, twigs and water from coming inside with the slide out when it come back inside.....

You said "aftermarket" and MOST of the great suggestions above were standard on my trailer but my best aftermarket mod was the duel battery hook up and the necessary tools to monitor them.

you have to be careful or you will become ridiculously over weight like I tend to do...
I have spare plumbing parts, to many spare water hoses, spare sewer parts and connectors, just about every electrical adapter, 3 timers so things come on or off at different times, to much misc. hardware, and to many tools...
there were times when I have needed 40' of sewer hose and many different adaptors and the drinking water hose, flush hose and wash hose for RV and TV washing...
its hard to not over buy when you love toys and gadgets like I do...
make your list but see what you really need and want before buying... the things you see repeated over and over are good bets to get started...
just enjoy the experience first, that takes very little in the way of gadgets and expense...
Love my mass produced, entry level, built by Lazy American Workers, Hornet
