- Electric water pump
- 2" ball coupler
- Wire loom with 7-prong round or 4-prong flat (depending on your vehicle; our looms are interchangeable)
- 110V hook-up (if your campsite has power, you can plug in the camper just like plugging in a toaster)
- Electric brakes (brakes are available with all rental campers; they are required to be operational only on the 208 and 228LT)
- 20# propane tank (the first 20 lbs. of propane are included in the rental; the tank can be returned empty at no charge. Started in 2023: the 208 comes with two propane tanks; the first 40 lbs. of propane are included in the rental.)
