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 > Smart Battery Charger Vector 1093 A
He Ruide > Velleman DVN850BL multimeter. I like this one because it has a back light which comes in handy if you are checking the camp ground voltage late at night.
He Ruide > A Circuit analyzer (yellow unit) allows you to check the polarity and ground of the CG post before you plug in your PUP. I've attached it to a 30 Amp male / 15 amp female adapter (black unit) so I can plug it into the 30 Amp outlet on the post.
He Ruide > You might go for years without needing these extension cords - 30 Amp (Left) and 15 Amp (Right) but when you do you'll be glad you have them.
He Ruide > Depending on a number of factors including tongue weight, you might expereice some sway while towing. If this happens you need to install a sway bar.
He Ruide > If the weigth of the PUP depresses the back of the tow vehicle, you can use a weight distribution hitch to correct this problem. However, you should check and see if there are any prohibitions from using one on either the PUP (e.g., the frame can't support it) or tow vehicle (e.g., hitch not designed for a WDH).
He Ruide > If you have an electic brake on your PUP you will need a brake controller installed in your tow vehicle. I highly recomend the Prodigy Brake Controller from Tekonsha. Note the Draw Tite unit above is the same as the Prodigy Brake controller it just comes with a different label.
He Ruide > Brake controller installed in my tow vehicle.
He Ruide > If your TV vehicle mirror does not allow you to see your PUP you will have to get wider mirrows.
If your TV vehicle mirror does not allow you to see your PUP you will have to get wider mirrows.
