We purchased a new 2021 Imagine 2600RB and will be picking it up next month. I've put together a list of things we'll need to buy to properly equip it and would like feedback. This is our first TT although I grew up family camping in the Great Lakes region as a kid and have done a fair bit of tent camping since then in Colorado, Utah, California and the PNW.
We won't be dry camping initially and I've not included power/solar upgrades since I won't be doing that right away. I left tools and spares for repairs off this list too, will do separate list for those. We're not planning full-time yet but expect to be doing 2-6 weeks trips on an ongoing basis.
My initial list is rough - I'll shop a bit for price and perhaps better models of each of the items. I'm more interested in getting feedback on what we might have missed for getting started.
Thanks in advance! :-)
