Heading out for your first camping trip and not sure what to grab? The Camco 47807 Standard RV Starter Kit pulls together the five must-have items every RVer needs for water, sewer, and electrical hookups -- all in one convenient package. No piecing together separate purchases, no showing up at the campsite unprepared.
New RV owners quickly discover that the rig itself is only part of the equation. Hooking up at a campground or RV park requires a handful of specific accessories that are easy to overlook until you are standing at the pedestal. Camco -- the most recognized name in RV accessories -- assembled this starter kit specifically for that situation.
The 47807 covers the three systems you will use at every campground hookup: fresh water supply, waste water (sewer), and shore power. It also includes RV-safe toilet tissue and holding tank treatment so your tanks stay clean and odor-free from the very first trip.
Lead-free, drinking-water-safe hose designed for potable water connections at campground pedestals. Standard 3/4-inch GHT fittings on both ends.
Standard 10-foot sewer hose with a pre-attached straight bayonet adapter for connecting to your RV's waste outlet. Fits most RV drain fittings.
Adapts a standard 15-amp household outlet (NEMA 5-15R) to a 30-amp RV plug (NEMA TT-30P), so you can power your rig from a home outlet or non-RV site.
TST MAX drop-in packs (3 per pack) break down waste and control odor in black tanks. The included 1-ply toilet tissue (4-pack) is safe for RV holding tanks.
Standard household toilet paper does not dissolve quickly enough in RV holding tanks and can clog the tank outlet or sensors. Camco's 1-ply RV tissue is formulated to break down rapidly, keeping your black tank and drain lines clear.
This kit is aimed squarely at first-time RV owners, but it also makes a practical gift for anyone who just took delivery of a new or used rig. It covers the items campground staff assume you already have. Seasoned RVers often keep a kit like this as a backup set stored in the toad or a secondary compartment.
Using a 15-amp outlet to power a 30-amp RV is a common workaround for driveway or home charging, but the circuit will only deliver 15 amps of current. High-draw appliances like air conditioners cannot run on a 15-amp circuit. The adapter is most useful for charging batteries, running the refrigerator, or powering lights and small devices when a 30-amp hookup is not available.
Add one TST MAX pack after every dump and refill of your black tank. Do not let the tank sit empty and dry for extended periods -- a small amount of water helps the treatment work and protects tank seals.
