Hello everyone, we are brand new to the RV world. Picking up a Jayco SLX-7 174BH from Indiana this weekend.
Figured it's a good time to do it, kids have 4 days off from school, packing the family for this turnaround trip.
This is our first RV, moving up from a tent. I need some guidance on must have tools, accessories, hacks etc.
Towing with 2016 X5 40e (6,000 tow capacity), regular ball hitch, trailer weighs 3,160 per build sheet. I ordered a Curt wireless break controller, just arrived this afternoon. Also picking up tow mirrors "clip ons" and wheel chocks later today.
Drinking water house 25' ordered. I think I can just use a few gallon jugs for this trip.
Leaving tomorrow (Southern California), any last second items I need for a safe trip? We will sleep inside on the stops back home, no camping, need to get home fast, kids going back to school on Tuesday.
.The only thing I have towed up to this point is a 4'x8' utility trailer.
Thank you for any input or suggestions.
