Welcome! I'd recommend a trip to Walmart for most items. In addition to what you already have on your list, a fresh water fill hose w/shutoff. Attaches to your fresh water hose and makes it easier to fill the tank when you're not attached to city water. A large mat for outside the cougar, keeps the dirt outside. A handheld vac for the stuff that does get inside. A separate black water hose to use for the black tank rinse and clean up around the dump station. Don't forget a well equipped tool box. Also a battery jump starter (usually has a light and small air compressor). A cordless drill/screwdriver and Duct Tape.
Some other things to consider will depend on what type of camping you like to do i.e. full hook ups, dry camping or boon-docking. Also whether you travel with kids and pets.
There's LOT'S more as you will soon discover.
Happy trails in the new Cougar
