oceanseeker5446 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Purchasing a 2016 Class C Coachmen Concord in Texas, picking up next week. Can you please suggest some basics of what I would need to purchase for travel back home to Indiana. I have several items already purchased but was wondering some basics for my first trip. Power surge protector? 2016 Class C Coachmen Concord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwicklund Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Basically you only need a drinking water hose and a sewer dump hose and connectors and a rubber donut. I would add, depending on your power cord, various connectors. We are 50amp so we carry 50amp to 30 reducers and 30amp to 20. We need the second because we sometimes stay in state parks without power and use our generator.

whj469 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I wouldn't hookup to power without a Surge Guard. A fifty AMP will be about $300 but if you have power spikes or low voltage, etc. it could cost you many thousands. Good Luck and congrads on your new unit.

skp51443 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 A jack that will lift the rig if you get a flat and that will fit under it with a tire down. Too light or won't fit are problems you do not want to have beside the highway! A lug wrench that fits the nuts, you should get one with the rig but double-check. If you don't have strong arms also get a 3 foot length of water pipe, galvanized will rust less than black, to use as a cheater when slipped over the wrench handle. A good medium sized fire extinguisher, you do not want to have something go wrong and start a fire that the toy extinguisher that comes with the rig won't put out.

sandsys Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 A roadside assistance plan, white water hose & pressure regulator, dump hose kit, electrical cord & adapters, and an Electrical Management System. That's the minimum the rig needs. For the rest pack as if you were going to a cheap motel then add bedding and towels. If you will not want to eat out every meal, pack cookware/dishes/dish soap. etc. Feel free to bring paper plates and plastic silverware so you don't have to do dishes. Bring paper towels, trash bags, and toilet paper. Do remember maps and contact information. You don't need to pack for the rest of your life on this first trip--bringing just the minimum will help you learn what you do and don't want to pack once you get the rig home.

oceanseeker5446 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thank you all for your suggestions....Linda, you hit it on the nose with the roadside assistance plan, I won't be changing a flat by myself, but very good info. I will be flying into Dallas and driving back to Indiana, so I can't pack very much. Planning a Walmart stop before leaving for sure. Thanks again and will post how the trip was when I return. 2016 Class C Coachmen Concord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinseypw Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Set of spare fuses for all electrical items. I've had a number of problems on the road and luckily most have traced to a blown fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
