First 3 things you would add...
If you bought a new TT or 5er, what would be the first 3 things you would buy for your camper to make it better, safer, more usable?? (excluding furnishings like sheets or dinnerware etc)

MaxxAir vent covers
Awning Mat
Portable or hardwire EMS
- You said not to include furnishings -- but I would put a memory foam mattress topper in that list as well.

Added a mattress pad of memory foam to our bed. One other add, in the three years we have owned it is a wheel chock to help with the rocking of the FW when we are parked, also to keep it locked up when that set of wheels is up on my little leveling blocks since a normal chock will not work very well.

I have already added these to my new 2015 32RLDS:
- MaxxAir vent covers
- Foam mattress topper (from last TT)
- Screen door push bar
- Carpeted step runners
- BAL Lock n Chocks (from last TT)
- EMS (dog-bone type)
I want to replace the outdoor fridge space with a propane stove that will plug into the quick-disconnect tap. That would be more useful, since the fridge only works when plugged into shore power. Also wanting a new awning mat. A diesel truck would be nice, too - but that will have to wait awhile!

1. An outside TV mount like every other RV manufacturer already puts on their RVs. (If you put a cable connection and power for the TV, why not the mount, Jayco?)
2. TBA
3. TBD

Can someone shed some light on what an EMS is? Seems like a lot of you are recommending it and I have no idea what you are talking about.
Appreciate any insight.
