RVW has a

â€œDeluxe starter packageâ€? that is $140.00.

Seems like a decent deal. Keep in mind, most campers come with a starter kit of TP, fresh water hose, short sewer hose, 110v adapter, pressure regulator and a sample size toilet chemicals. So, theHappy Hook Tie Downs, Defl apper Awning Clamp, Wheel Chock (pair) and10-Pack Lynx Levelers (with bag) seems to be the "extras" the other stuff they should be giving you anyway.

We were also offered this same starter kit by RVW. I made a list of the contents of the kit and took it to Wal-Mart, prior to taking delivery, where I priced most of the items. It was better for me to buy the items at Wal-Mart because most cost much less and I was able to buy better quality. Some of the items I purchased at CW such as the non-kink drinking hose. As the others will tell you, you sure do not want to wrestle a drinking water hose either in hot, cold or rainy weather.

It might be difficult to do a comparison as you do not know what brand/type items are being furnished aside from the Lynx Levelers.

I agree with Art. I would pass, and buy the items from elsewhere. I carry two water hoses, two 20' sewer hoses (with connectors), so there will be extra stuff to buy (the list goes on and on!). You will also need a flushing garden hose (not white) to flush the tanks. Never use your fresh water hose.

And, to add what Stan said, buy that "general purpose - not drinking" hose in non-kink as well. Home Depot and Lowe's carry that type and do have some non-kink drinking hose as well. I have a 25' non-kink drinking hose as well as a 25' coil drinking hose. I also have a 25' non-kink general purpose hose plus a 75' coiled general purpose hose. There are two 20', one 10' and one 1' sewer hoses plus connectors in the RV as well.

So if I had 300ft of drinking hose would that be a lot ?? lol Edited by: gtoguy1967

Don it might be just a start depending on how far your neighbors spigot is do not forget the extension cord so you use his electricity too

You mean you are not supposed to use your neighbor's "stuff"? Ooops.
