Whats this new fever called? I know all of you have it to. Is there a campers stuff anonymous I can join to stop my addiction?
All the gizmos and gadgets that I must have!! UGH!

It will be alright..... Just know that in 2 years.... half of the stuff that you are buying now will not have been used..... and you will have to store it in the garage......(for later nonuse) to make room for more camping stuff that you can not live with out.

Plan a defense for each item with your spouse.

MANY unhappy conversations when I come home with yet another amazon box.

Every time you use the sewer hose you throw it out and buy a better one, right?

Well, whatever you do, don't get rid of this one and buy another afterwards! The addiction starts all over again! I thought I had just about all I would ever need when I had my Roo. Sold it last year and bought a new trailer - a whole different set of "goodies" needs to be bought!
So far....
#1 - MaxxAir vent cover
#2 - Adjustable step support
#3 - Valterra stabilizer - with another on the way!
#4 - Awning support cradle
#5 - Old Coot's Awning Support Brackets
#6 - Andersen trailer levelers

I'm sure there have been others, but those have been within the past couple of weeks! The Banker just keeps track of what I spend - she gets a diamond upgrade at some point.

I think on my model, Emerald was the highest upgrade. I could only wish to get by with that.
Besides, The Banker is the one who picked out THIS trailer!

I have a brand new 20 foot power cord extension, not used.
I have a 10 foot extension for the Rhino hose, brand new, still.



I dare not leave them at home because sure as I do I'll wish I had not.

OMG! I thought I was the only one! I just got another Amazon box today!! I get so excited when I see the Amazon box on the front step! We have camping stuff all over the house! Our campground in Lakewood, WI just got like 8 more inches of snow so I am totally depressed....the only thing that helps a little is reading the forums and buying stuff!! My husband asked what I wanted for Mother's Day and I said the only thing I want to is to be able to go to my camper....the snow needs to go!!!

For a second there, I thought my DW had created her own FRF account and started her own new thread! There's a pile of stuff in the dining room of our house that's just waiting for the new camper to be delivered and be packed into. She's the Internet shopping queen.

Yep, today I resisted the urge to by a new space saver collapsible 25' rv water hose to replace the 3 year old regular 15' rv water hose we've maybe used 3 times in 3 years because we usually just fill freshwatwater tank when we get to campground as sites don't even have hookups. So sad because I really want it but I absolutely do not need it :-D
