Small things to buy or replace after purchase

What are the smaller things that come standard that you immediately replace after you buy a new RV or trailer. Or could be a simple add-on thing.

example. I just bought the ETL Oxygenics 92489 shower head. Because the one that comes with any trailer is pretty horrendous.

Not "small" but the mattress is always the first to go. We had our new mattress shipped to the dealer and we left the factory mattress at the dealer.
Generally....Oregon hits the nail on the head. The mattress was step one in my camper.

The other things, seem to be determined on whether you are a DIY type, or a take it to the dealer type. If you look at my threads, I go even further and make the removal of things easier, in case some areas fail. Despite the advertising, some thought should go into making access easier to the under belly and pass through basements. If you are going to be active on the thread, we would enjoy seeing what you do to your camper. There are so many ways to skin the cat and we all enjoy seeing others solutions to a problem! Use that phone camera!!

Absolutely positively get one piece lug nuts. Seems like a waste of money until it isn’t ( side of the road middle of nowhere).

Rear camera

TPMS

Tools that stay on the rig…for sure breaker bar and torque wrench or add your home one to your checklist.

Find the parts known to fail (e.g. refrigerator master board)

Pex repair kit

Roof repair—-order from Alliance

Self leveling and non sag dicor

Not that I’ve needed it but the experienced owners here say good underbelly repair tape and gorilla tape.

Bauer or Rv Lock door lock.
