You always want to make sure you check your tire pressure before moving your RV. We bought a new RV and found that it had bad tires on it so now we extra vigilant as to tire pressure. Here's a great 11" tire gauge that will reach dual tires or deep hub wheels. We struggled with regular car tire gauges for a year before we found one of these. It takes my husband much less time and effort now to check all 12 tires.
If you haven't already done so, you need to replace the garden hose with a drinking water hose. You know the funny taste water has when you drink out of a garden hose? When you use a drinking water hose, the water tastes like tap water from your house.
While we're on the subject of water - using a Brita Water Pitcher is a great idea. Even though the drinking water hose makes the water taste like tap water, water is different in every RV Park you go to. In the beginning we bought bottled water to drink but it seemed like we were always having to run to the store to buy more. The Brita Water Pitcher replaced the need to constantly buy gallons of bottled water. We are very happy with the Brita Water Pitcher and the water tastes better than most bottled water.
We started out using blocks of wood behind and in front of our tires to keep the RV from moving once it was disconnected but wheel chalks work much better. They stay where you put them and they are much lighter and easier to store.
One of the biggest problems is not being able to see while you are backing your RV into a campsite. My husband would love to have a rear camera so he wouldn't have to totally rely on my directions. I try really hard but sometimes I just can't stay in view of his mirrors. By installing a Sony RV Color Rear Camera you greatly decrease the risk of backing into things that will not only damage your RV but could cost you money to repair the campsite or neighboring RVs.
There are many more items that will make RV life a little easier but this is enough for you to consider now.
