For Concrete Campers, those who spend most of their time in parks with hookups, very little is needed beyond cooking and personal items. A set of leveling blocks, a door mat and a dial type air gauge with a flexible hose would do it. Adding a wired-in surge protector, a blanket for the cab opening and a small electric heater are suggested items.
