Friday morning we all (including my sister to watch the kids) will head to the dealer for our PDI, etc. Then we are heading to a campground less than an hour away.
We then spend the rest of the long weekend hopping campgrounds, driving no more than 3 hours per day until we get home,
We have lots of camping experience, but not in a travel trailer. What essentials should we bring?
Should I take the main 4-lane highways (100km/h or 60mph) or slower side roads (80km/h or 50mph)? The 4-lane highways take me right through Toronto, but the backroads add about 3 hours to the total drive.
Suggestions?

We are new Jayco 264BHW owners too (though we upgraded from a Jayco popup). Here's a short list off the top of my head (by no means is this all-inclusive)
Dealer may give you this:
-30amp to 15 amp adapter plug (so you can plug your RV into a regular plug)
-water hose for drinkable water
-water pressure regulator
-sewer hose for grey/black water (the supplied one usually sucks IMHO)
Recommeded to buy:
-15 amp extension cord (rec 50+ feet)
-30 amp extension cord (rec 20 - 50 feet)
-disposable gloves for when you empty grey/black tanks
-20 foot upgraded sewer hose (from Camco)
-storage for sewer hose (nobody told us that the bumper is the default storage location, though most good hoses won't fit)
-2nd stabilizer jack wrench (so two people can setup stabilizers at the same time and/or backup)
-external water filter (optional, unless you're picky how your water tastes)
-At least (total) 50 feet of drinkable water hose
-At least 25 feet of non-drinkable water hose (for washing out tanks)
-tire chocks (could use bricks but they are heavy)
-stabilizer pads
-storage bins for your kit (eg. electrical, water, mechanical)
Hope this helps!
