$200 to spend

Thanks. I went ahead and spent it. Got the rhino hose, an extension, some stack jacks, tv mount for one of my outside bays and sewer hose bumper tube (which I found was too small when I got home. Will probably do the fence post thing). I think that was it.

Thanks for all the replies.

What about a Sewer Solution instead of a Rhino hose? Of course, that depends on your camping style because if you use routinely use dump stations instead of a FHU site, the Sewer Solution isn't very compatible, and there is the eco-issue of using water to dump the tanks (although gray water works fine without any water pressure if you're not pumping uphill, and you can vary the amount of water used when dumping black by adjusting the water flow while watching what's flowing through).

I've been fulltiming for 10 years with one and still love it. I just checked Camping World's website and you can get the main unit and two extra lengths of hose for a little less than $200. That'll put your range at 30 feet, which is plenty for probably any campsite (and I just did 100 feet by adding PVC and it worked fine).

It's very clean and I think it makes for a much more elegant campsite than the big hoses on a scaffolding or in a rain gutter.

I don't remember the brand, but it has lines showing distance on the screen. When the item in his screen he is watching goes just off the bottom of the screen, he is at 3ft, perfect!

It is wireless, but we extended the transmitter/power amidship, which helped with reliable reception to the screen. Also added a power switch and 12v power port while there.

Mh came with one.

Take the wife out to a dinner show instead. That will affect the economy locally and more people than the Chinese made stuff.

Take her to CW for dinner and a show? It's a CW merchandise certificate.

yes. check your expiration date. that way you definitely know when it must be used.

if you have alot of time, I would hold off til you really need something.

Can it be used toward the service department or just merchandise?

Not sure...it says merchandise certificate I believe. Need to look at it again.

Also coming from a frugal mindset - why not use it to cover your normal operational expenses as they come up? Then, it's like getting free stuff on some of your next CW visits.
