I have discovered that you will never have it all....you just don't know about the OTHER stuff you need yet.... and this forum...though a Godsend...costs A LOT...

X3.. Not just for filling the tank.. You would be surprised how many jams you can get yourself out of from the benevolence of others when there is a 6 pack on ice. For best results.. leave the cooler lid open, in plain sight, and within 4 feet of the problem area.

On the serious side. Just identifying and making sure your "necessary" comforts are being met will keep you pretty well squared away. If you're not going to sleep comfortably, get a new mattress, if the water pressure is low, get an oxygenectics, if your napping perch leaves your back sore, buy a gravity chair.

Once you've had a decent nap, hot shower and a good nights sleep.. the fun factor will remain premium. Your necessary comforts may vary, but if they aren't met... it's doesn't matter what you buy or build... it can suck the joy right out of it all.

Gaspeddler, I like the pic. where do you camp?......

We have a new Roo 21SS, our 7th camper......What is "new" for replacing the end queen size mattress? We went on our first "shake down" camping trip for four nights and well........the mattress's still are bad. Was toying with the idea of buying a "topper" for it.....Ideas??

Thanks,

Jim

Now that's the best answer I've seen so far! I feel the same way about my DH, especially since I would never drive the trailer myself, lol!

Holding tank rinser, especially valuable if your terlit drops straight to the tank.

A crock pot! So easy to throw meals together and then go have fun!

I think if you drove it, you would surprise yourself! My dear wife has towed ours out of campgrounds, down I-95, and most recently parked it at an empty park in Florida. Truth be told, I'm certain she'll be able to park it better than me once she gets some seat time doing it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm sure I'll give it a go at some point, with every trip it seems more do-able And I'll still feel the same way about my DH, he's good for more than just driving the trailer, after 25 years we still enjoy each others company

We bought Pop Up Gizmos last year. They protect & keep tent ends clean. I wish we'd bought them years ago. Also a refillable water jug with a faucet. Then you can always have clean drinking water in the trailer. Enjoy your hybrid.

Then I'm going to be making a list of things we would really need and start buying those things. I look forward to hearing from each of you that have been camping a while! Thank you so much for your help!

Absolutely have to have family, food, BBQ and firewood. Everything after that is about comfort and convenience. For me, the A/C is now a must have for comfort. Didn't have it in our previous popup and don't want to be without it now. The comfort and convenience items depend on what type of camping we're doing - in the woods "roughing it", or using it as a motel on wheels.

Add a roll of that new tape that hardens after application, fixes everything from broken handles to plumbing leaks.
