- BoskieExplorerLike some one mentioned, rechargeable batteries and a charger. Batteries (charged)almost always come in handy..
- DadoffourgirlsExplorerIf you would go to $200, The Margaritaville Margarita Maker is fantastic for camping. You can make slushies for the kids, and either add adult beverage to them for adults, or make any adult beverage.
You will then need to buy 1000 small cups and straws for all the kids that will be over while camping. - KittykathExplorer III want a Soda Stream. Takes the place of buying, hauling and recycling cans and plastic bottles.

We got one for the TT, liked it so much we got one for home too.
We got the "soft heat" brand as it was highly rated (and works very well).
Ed - 69_AvionExplorerA flashlight is one of the best items you can get. A really good one is over $200, however they are worth it.

And they don't even come with batteries or the charger, but they are seriously bright. - mikeb9550ExplorerLots of good things so far.
What about an electric skillet?
Electric blanket?
Or a good flashlight? Get one with a clip or add a pocket clip so that you can clip it to the bill of your can. They make some good high powered light weight ones these days. There is no more of a useful tool than to see and have both hands free. - CavemanCharlieExplorer III

It's a $35 metal blow poke, available on Amazon (tried to find in local fireplace stores, never could.) A poker for turning campfire logs with a mouthpiece that you blow into, to fan the coals.
Cool, I've been looking for something like that. I didn't realize there was already a product made. I was going to build one myself. My only concern is what happens if; while taking a breath; you accidently suck on the poke? Aren't you going to suck smoke and embers into your lungs and spend the rest of the night coughing? The reason I ask is because of peoples kids. - ADK_CamperExplorerDutchmen Sport said: "New dishes (something that looks nice but is not breakable"
We bought a set of Correll dishes when we bought our new camper. They seem to be the perfect choice for a variety or reasons:
They can be purchased in a set that is inexpensive.
Some patterns are "open stock" so you can replace an item or add pieces not included in the original set.
The are durable (practically unbreakable).
They can be used in the microwave.
They are thin and nest so as to take up very little room.
They are lightweight. - bob213ExplorerA portable air pump like:
inflator or
inflator2
or RV Net wearables
rv net shirts, hats etc.or
a little above the $100. mark..an ice maker...
