Fill and Dump hoses

[Putter1]

We are 100% new to RV'ing. Purchased but have not yet picked up our Renegade Vienna. Do new RV's usually come with hoses or is this something we will need to buy as an add on? Obviously I think they should be included. The unit is semi useless without them but I have seen some things that make me think the dealer try's to nickel and dime you.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks

You probably need to call the dealer and see if those items are included.
If they are not included you can ask for them on the walk-through when you pick it up.
Make sure they show you how to hook up and fill the fresh water and also hook up and dump your black and gray tanks.

From past experience, the couple of rigs that i bought new had cheapy stuff included. Typically a 10 foot sewer hose, a sample of potty chemical treatment, and i believe, a 25 foot fresh water supply hose. Call the dealer and ask. They may say no at first but i bet if you tried, you could talk them into throwing these things in.

Some dealers will point out in the sales process, we include these items in every new purchase. It might be things like stinky slinky, water hose, battery...sample package of waste tank chemicals....Unless you remember them saying this in your purchase don't assume it was included.

Our last tt, it did not include these items. I was lucky to even get a deep cycle battery. Before you sign your final papers, I would even get them to upgrade to a better deep cycle battery. The basic battery is the group 24 battery, where the group 29 batteries have more reserve power. But they are $20-$25 more and 3" longer....

You will probably buy, upgrade anything it comes with , then in a year you will find better stuff. Then after several years you will figure it it all and have the best stuff. At least in your opinion. Just make sure it has something to start with. Enjoy the learning experience.
