Budget to outfit new 5th wheel?

[Rye_a]

Can anyone give me an idea of how much I should budget to outfit a new fifth wheel toy hauler? While I know the sky’s the limit, I’m wondering about basics such as water/sewer hoses, leveling blocks, and whatever other non-discretionary basics a person needs.

Depends where you buy everything. I bought all new power adapters from Amazon for half what rv store wanted and same brand.
Shop smart and save money.

Really don’t matter, because when you get where you are going there will be one thing you need that you don’t have. lol

camp in the driveway, write down everything you need to go get. this will give you an idea what you need. you could spend thousands you could likely spend a few hundred and be fine. depends what you have, need to get and where you will get it. my fist camper was outfitted from thrift stores for next to nothing.

Go figure $2K & don't be surprised when you go over. All of that stuff, outside & inside, adds up very quickly especially if you try to go cheap & buy something not up to the job which has to be replaced with what should have been bought in the first place.

First time needs extend far beyond hose, leveling devices, power adapters basics.

Make a list of the things you need and the things you want. Make the budget for the things you want and spend whatever is necessary on quality items that you need. Otherwise, it could come to "sorry kids, we are over budget on camper items, and can't buy wheel chocks - camping in our new RV will have to wait".

Is this a question?
If you can get on RVnet, you can probably use google or amazon and price up what you need.
This question is as subjective as any.
A Wally World water hose, sewer hose and some scrap wood blocks and possibly a power cord adapter is all you “need.”
What you “want “ may be totally different.
I’ll go $100 and your set. Less if you steal your neighbors garden hose tonight!

Every new camper we bought came with a poop hose and a cheap water hose so if you park on level ground you don't need anything.

Twice as much as you were hoping on the high side.

Toy hauler I'll assume 3 axle.
Leveling blocks 3 options.
1st - 2 or 3 2x6's long enough for 3 axles to sit on.
2nd - 3 or 4 packs of links levelers at $30 each.
3rd - 3 Andersen Levelers at $40 each.

Drinking water hose 25 foot- $25 to $60 X 2 depending on quality.
Sewer hose - 20 foot kit $45

So less than $300 for the basics.
After the basics you get into chairs, splitting maul, hatchet, pretty lights for the awning, extension cord, fan because the wife is miserable when she's hot, AWNING TIE DOWN KIT!!!, outdoor rug, pool noodle for slide out above storage door, fire poker, etc.

Edit: Adding wheel chocks about $8 a piece at Wally World for the yellow plastic ones. Check the date code on them. They do expire.

Are you including interior stuff like kitchen equipment and supplies? Bedding? Laundry?

Or just basic steup and hookup needs? Chocks, leveling blocks, ground pads, levels, power, water, sewer? Where will it be used? Dependable power and water supply or is protection needed?

Do you have basic heavy tools? 12 Ton hydraulic jack and portable air compressor? Tire changing tools including breaker bar?

Just for exterior basics you are probably looking at between $1200 and $2500 without going top-of-the-line on anything. Interior is a whole nother deal!!
