Thanks gents. Pretty much packed everything that you guys said to.
I went shopping at dollar general, and pretty much have it set up so that we toss in clothes and food and go.
Gracias.

Love our camper - pretty similar to yours.
There is no way to provide a full list really. Just go camping the first time and start making a list in your phone of everything you need to get and pick it up before the next trip. As long as you've got a water hose, dump hose, electric cord, chocks for the wheels, levelers and a crank for the jacks, basic tools, a spare pack of fuses, and enough kitchen utensils and other stuff inside to get by, then you'll be fine first time out.
I'll try to add a list of everything I can think of, but this certainly isn't everything:
water pressure regulator outside mat inside rug tow mirror extensions toilet packets (little tabs to keep it from smelling) water hose dump hose electric cord extra hose if your unit has a black tank flush hitch with weight distribution and sway control drill bit for raising/lowering jacks (assuming yours aren't electric) fuses basic tool kit broom & dust pan small vacuum shelf paper so stuff doesn't slide around multi-compartment plastic bin with handle to put your shower stuff in when you're traveling silverware pots/pans/misc utensils cups lighter lighter fluid paper towel holder kitchen towels extra towels/rags for bathroom soap for bathroom & kitchen sink sheet set for master bed exhaust fan padded inserts for insulation sunblock toothpaste toothbrushes bug spray kitchen dish scrubber trash can & bags (kitchen & bathroom)
Make sure the lug nuts are torqued right and the tires are at the right pressure and double-check your spare. And I would pack a lug wrench and jack that will work on your trailer since your truck equipment probably won't.
Have a good time man, we love ours!

Take your own fire wood, and Fritos make a very good fire starter.

Also, water pressure regulator.
And 2X6's cut to 4' long. 3-4 that you can use to drive one side of the camper on to level it side to side.

Well known/well used camp site first few times. Ask anyone camping there to explain the ins and outs. They will be glad to help.

Many parks are not allowing people to bring their own due to wood beetles. They will make you dump it. And in TX state parks, collection of wood/brush is illegal.

The Duraflame logs are a good option if woods hard to come by. I always bring a few. Also make great fire starters ha ha. Even a noobie can get a great fire using one of those and then adding wood on top.
