He Ruide  > Tools and Equipment (look at security and safety for additional equipment) > Must Have Stuff (work in progress)
Many folks ask "Now that I have a PUP, what stuff do I really need?" The following is my "Must Have" list which includes items needed to camp safely, prevent accidents / break downs and trouble shoot / solve problems.

He Ruide > Of course it should go without saying that you should always have the PUP manual as well the manuals for other equipment (fridge, AC, axle, hotwater heater, etc.). However, I know that if you have purchased a previously owned PUP, then you may not have the manuals.
He Ruide > Water pressure regulator. This will prevent the PUP plastic pipes from bursting with hooked up to city water.
He Ruide > Water hoses. Note you should purchase white hoses as they are approved of drinking water. To be safe you should have at least 50 feet.
He Ruide > If you are not hooked up to city water you will have to haul water from a camp ground spigot back to your camper should you run out of water. For this you will need containers. However, carrying them can be a pain unless you use your tow vehicle. I've tested several folding carriers and found that the heavy duty one on the left with the large wheels works the best.
He Ruide > There are several options to store gray water. On the left is a seven gallon Aqatainer (some folks use two connected to each other). The middle (15 gall) and right (22 gall) are commerical gray water tanks.
He Ruide > You might need the adapter (shown in the middle) to connect a short peice of hose from the PUP drain to the gray water container.
He Ruide > If you have a cassette toilet or a porta potty you will need a deodorant to control the odor. Note this should only be added to the black water tank and NOT to the flush water.
He Ruide > One should always wear gloves and clean your hands with soap or a sanitizer after handling the cassette toilet or a porta potty.
He Ruide > A carpenter level... needed to level your PUP to ensure you don't strain the frame or the lift mechanism, to ease setting up the door and most important - your fridge will only work correctly if the PUP is level.
You might need the adapter (shown in the middle) to connect a short peice of hose from the PUP drain to the gray water container.
