After watching dozens of RV YouTube videos, we’ve outfitted our Geo Pro G19RD with the essentials plus some extra safety equipment. Like other rv’ers, we ended up with a huge pile of Amazon boxes. A few items were ordered from Campingworld.com using our Good Sam membership discount. We also shopped at a local Camping World store. Being able to see & handle the gear before buying is educational & practical.
Outfitting “HoWie” our Geo Pro G19RD 20ft Travel Trailer
After watching several YouTube videos & reading online articles on RV essential equipment. We ordered many many items from Amazon and Walmart. Geo Pros come with some nice standard equipment like electric tongue jack, 190w solar panels, propane tanks, batteries, & a propane grill. But none of the gear to interface with campground hookups except the 30amp power cord.
Fresh water hoses (35ft, 10ft x 2), black water hoses & connectors, black water hose cradle, hose fittings & regulators, leveling blocks, aluminum folding table (Walmart), voltage surge protection, Dewalt cordless drill w/ 3/4″ stabilizer socket, torque wrenches & sockets for truck & rv, air compressor for truck & rv – there’s a lot of stuff to get setup and be safe.
