Just bought a White Hawk 29SQB - now what?!?

Hello everyone!

I've been a popup owner for a few years now but we wanted more room so we just put down a hold on a White Hawk 29SQB that I'm picking up next weekend. Since I'm moving up from a PUP I've got some of what I need, but I'm not quite sure of the "extras" I'll need for a travel trailer vs. a PUP. What are the essentials that I need day one and what are some of the nice to haves that the well groomed here can suggest? Anyone have some great "wish I'd known that when I first got my camper" tips they can share?

Thanks in advance!

Rob

Welcome and congrats on the new TT.....you have joined the dark side..

I would start with the following:

Weight distribution hitch with sway control
Brake controller - I have the Primus brake controller
Chemicals for the black waste tank
I'll figure out the the rest when I do the maiden voyage with ours...lol

Welcome and congrats on your new trailer.

What are you using to tow your new TT as they are a light trailer?

We are currently looking at the Whitehawk 28dsbh.
