I know when I first got my trailer I went and bought a bunch of things thinking I had to have them or with ideas on how I was going to store things in the trailer. Most of those ideas got changed around a lot after I did my first long trip in the trailer - especially how and where I was going to store things inside & what I really needed to have with me. Now I dont buy anything for the trailer unless I am willing to take something else out.
My advise is to just slow it down a little. You have a pretty new trailer so it shouldn't really need to change/replace much right this minute, assuming the
battery and
tires are still good and you have had the
brakes and wheel bearings checked over and serviced. Get a water hose, pressure regulator. some leveling blocks and an extension cord and fill up the
propane tank and go have some fun camping in it. If you can get out to a
fiberglass trailer meet and take a look at how other people have set up their trailers and what they are using or not using that will help you a lot in deciding what you have to have or dont have to have. You will meet at those meets a number of people that spend a large number of days on the road with their trailers each year so they have it pretty well mastered it as far as what to bring and not to bring. Or what items/brands have stood the test of use and time, along with great tips on how to do things/fix things the easy/right way the first time
Funny enough if I am going out on the road for 3 or more weeks I take far less stuff with me now than I do when only heading out for a 3 or 4 day trip.
Just get out and have fun with it - it does not and will never be perfect the first trip out regardless!
