*Snicker* what, you think this is the I Hate RVs forum?

And, my friend, you are only at stage ONE of your addiction...next comes the "whythehelldidtheydesignitthisway" stage closely followed by the "whythehelldidtheynotincludethisfeature" stage.

(Scientific name: RV Moddus Addictus )

We have multiple threads on this form of addiction in the forums!
(Good News: this stage is usually less expensive than the buying what others have made for camping stage )

I need to make one more purchase, a sign that says "RV Yard Sale." The next time we are set up at a campsite, I can start selling all that stuff I bought that I didn't need.

Cool, would you post some pics of those, as I haven't seen them. Also, let me know if they serve your function well. Thanks.

It doesn't end.

While I'm still a newbie (we've had our Roo for just 14 months) I picked up a 25 foot hdmi cable so that I can set up our outdoor tv w/o having to relocate the directv receiver.

I think Camping World caught on to what you were doing - they are now emailing them every twenty minutes or so....

Today I bought mattress toppers, mattress pads, a 12" fry pan, towels, over the door towel holder, dog bowls, rugs, corn holders, a can opener, a wine opener and a bottle opener. My staging area is overflowing! I sure hope we hear from the dealer this week, or we will need a bigger house.

Popped into Camping World for one simple item... Had to go back up front to get a cart as we couldn't carry it all. Bought a blue club chair as DW thought it was so much prettier color than the other two club chairs we have... I do like the LED multi colored outside lights with remote. Added to our collection of TP and cleaning supplies along with an ever growing supply of the latest kitchen gadget.

These threads sum up our situation perfectly, just over six weeks ago, we had our 32' travel trailer bunk house stolen and after insurance settlement, we ordered a Roo 23SS for delivery in July, now the fun has started setting up a new camper, visiting CW at every opportunity, going in for one thing and walking out with a cart full, shopping at Costco, BJ's, Walmart etc., and immediately searching the aisles for camping stuff. Can't wait to get home and check out the FR Forum to read the postings and getting disappointed when there's nothing new especially in the Hybrids. The wealth of information gathered from this forum has been invaluable. Although we've RV'd for years I've learned a lot, thank you for your sharing. We're excitedly looking forward to the Hybrid experience and getting back to real camping.

I call it an "Amazon Christmas"!



Amazon Prime is an evil plot to take advantage of all of us with tinkeritis and CSD (compulsive shopping disorder).
I don't have a big trailer, but I think I've been infected.
Six tents, eighteen sleeping bags, two popup trailers...
We have enough stuff to take 32 of our students camping at one time!
It's a happy disease.
