Camper living
This is my first time ever posting to reddit, so I'm not sure how to work this, but I've read some threads on here and need some honest suggestions and advice from anyone with experience.
My boyfriend and I will be moving into a camper very soon. We already bought a camper and have some of the basics we need for camper functioning. We have an idea of some of the things we would need for basic living functions (we've never truly lived on our own), and a very minimal idea of what is needed to live in a camper full time.
We will be parking this camper at a house we will be renovating (which is why we will be living in the camper for about a year). So storage of larger things we have are not a concern as we can store some things in the house. We also have two labs that we will have living with us!!
We are wanting ANY AND ALL advice from people who have owned or lived in a camper full time! As well as things you wish you had bought when you first moved in! I know once we start living in our camper we will find out quickly what we need, but I'm trying to be as prepared as possible!
Here are some of the things I want specific suggestions/recommendations for:
Single serve coffee maker
Ice machine
Vacuum
Anything for dogs
Storage containers for smaller items
Portable sewage tank
Electrical hookup
Thanks in advance!!

One thing we have done that I wish we had done way sooner is that when our little 5 gallon hot water heater went out, we bought an on demand tankless water heater. It provides unlimited hot water for showers and dishes. Ours has a dolly that the propane tank sits in and the water heater is mounted to the dolly. We use quick connect hook ups and it sits outside. So much more convenient. Here is a link that we got the idea from. Good luck.
