Wanting to spend some money

I have some money burning a hole in my pocket. Looking for items to make our TT camping as enjoyable as possible. I have a 2000 generator, flip jack, new King Jack, various Jacks for road trouble, new shower surround bar, etc. Thought about a Little Buddy Heater till I read it might shut off at 7000 feet or above. Outside speakers would be nice, rather have a blue tooth stereo for that. Maybe a new stereo. Have little converter for TV etc. I always like to spend some money on items this time of year for the up coming camping season, which can not come quick enough. Any ideas from anyone. Solar for a 16ft seems a little overkill, maybe just for the battery. Gee, do I have everything, takes all the fun out of it!

    Did not see a tire pressure monitoring system on your list. Also a really good portable 12 volt air compressor like a Viair 400?? The list could be just starting!!!!!

Could come in handy to communicate with base camp while you're out exploring the wilds of North America, and you don't have cell phone connection. Also great for help you back into a camp site when you need a spotter!

    x2.

    We originally bought them for backing into a campsite, but also use them other times while camping. I go out fishing in our portabote a lot when camping andsometimes my wife doesn't want to go. With the walkie talkies we can stay in touch and she can call me back in when I've been out too long!

    Want to spend some money....re-decorate your bedroom. This is what we did when we had a pop-up.
