For sure the whole satellite dish program. Well, I do still want it. Just can't seem to get it right. First I bought Dish network and a dish. Then this new Eastern Ark setting requires this huge dish. Nowhere to store it. OK, I did get it to work a little.
Great, no problem, lets spend $700.00 on this little automatic unit. Now can't get it to work. Have exhausted all help. Now we just search for any over the air channels. We were excited last week as they offered free cable tv. Cool. Only, they had 12 channels at this park and all the networks were from LA. Nothing local. Oh well. Maybe we will listen to the radio from now on. That's still free. For awhile yet anyway.

Hmmmmm.... DW is an impulse buyer. Here's the short list:

2 crappy BBQ Grills - Finally I bought a Camp Chef 3 burner on Ebay!

Inflatable Matress - Never been out of the box.

More tables than we'll ever use! I'm losing them a little at a time.

Numerous small appliances that are permenant fixtures in the under-bed storage area.

10+ pair of sandals - I find them everywhere and in every vehicle.

4 Griddles (one electric) and I still can't get her to just buy ONE nice cast-iron one.

Half the world supply of Blue Storage bins.

I could go on and on........ Need a bigger RV!

Recently bought a 6' extension hose for the Flexible Swivel Stik that would hook onto the bathroom sink instead of having the garden hose run into the RV. The Swivel Stik worked fine, the sink adapter extension hose refused to stay hooked onto the sink. Water everywhere...

As usual, shipping back would cost as much as the hose cost itself!

We really like our Lynx Levelers, sewer hose slinky stand and our flat hose. They're performed flawlessly for the past couple of years.

But I have to agree about the blue totes (although ours is gray). I've only used it once and I nearly ruptured everything in my body it was so damned heavy (we got the largest available). Now it just lives in our basement at home, lurking in a corner. I can't foresee ever using it again.

jtbeck,
You could still use it- just empty it more often so it doesn't get anywhere near full and it won't be so heavy.

Melamine coffee cups. Made a cup of instant. When I poured the boiling water into the cup, it cracked where the thick base and the thinner sides met - all the way around. Not only did the coffee start running out the crack, but when I picked it up to toss it into the sink, only the top came up, pouring scalding hot coffee all over the table top.


Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

Lynx Levelors ~ the most costly, cheaply made thing I've ever bought AND I actually bought a second set after the first set cracked all apart, AND those cracked too!

And ALL the stuff in my MH junk drawer from when I go into Camping World for toilet chemicals and all those stupid little RV do-dads cry out Buy Me!
