What does a new Quicksilver come with for misc accessories?

Does it come with a electrical hookup cord and water hookup hose or should we pick those up separately?  How about a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter?  Wheel chucks?

Any suggestions on useful stuff to make sure we have?

I would assume you need to pick up all those accessories depending on your priorities. The 30amp adapter for me is a must since I only have a standard 120v outlet at the house and I like to plug it in to top off the battery from time to time. The water hose would be good to have if you are going to a campground but obviously wont be needed if you dont plan to use full hook ups right away. I also wouldnt worry about buying wheel chucks unless you want something specific; i personally just use a couple pieces of wood. You might consider leveling blocks as well.

If you are working with a dealer you might be able to get a few things thrown in during the purchase.

Thanks, was more concerned with buying a 25' 30 amp cord for hookup and finding out the camper comes with it from the factory.  We're doing a factory pickup and have already purchased so I was looking more for what was included by default.  Sounds like nothing external is included.

Dealer "threw in" a sewer hose that lasted one trip, a power cord and 15amp adaptor, 3 packets of toilet chemical, a 15' fresh water hose and pressure regulator.

If doing a factory pickup make sure to bring a battery and propane tank.  I did factory pickup and was told batteries and propane are installed by dealers so I was not able to test any of  those systems before taking delivery. Came with a power cord and a few chemical packets but thats about it.

Thanks for the replies.  We'll have power hookups on our first trip picking it up so we won't need a battery or propane really.  It's an 8.1 without the cut in cook top so we won't be adding propane anyway - we have a portable stove.

Went ahead and picked up the 50-to-30 amp adapter.  Glad to hear the camper comes with the long 30 amp cord for hookup.  Picked up a 25' water hose as well because it looks like it does not come with that from the replies here.

When we're home getting prepped for a trip I plug into a 15 amp circuit in the garage - tops off the batteries and lets me run the fridge on A/C. You may find older campgrounds or other situations where going into a standard 3 prong outlet necessary. Should cost, like, a dollar.
