We use our old pots, and pans. Well in fact. We didn't have to buy anything extra for the inside of the TT. We already had it.
We did the same thing when we got our Pop-Up. By the time we got our 3rd travel trailer our priorities have changed completely.
Our travel trailer is our vacation resort. Andd really, apart from television and few minor hobby crafts around the house, it's our basic entertainment too. It's our dream castle, our home-away-from-home, even when parked in the driveway. It's our "love shack", our private domain, our "other world", our break from the harsh realities of job, family, and world chaos.
So, somewhere along the line, the priorities changed, and we started replacing all the "old" stuff with brand new, and the "old" found it's way in the house! Really! We have good blankets, good sheets, good towels, good dishes, good pots and pans, nice cups, wine glasses, electric coffee pot, everything ... first rate as "first rate" can get within our budget.
Once the item begins to wear, or we need something in the house, we snatch it from the camper, and then replace "new" in the camper. Yea, we keep the camper VERY SPECIAL... only the best as we can afford. And that makes the camper and using the camper even more special!
Maybe that's why we live in it, even in the drive way, all Summer long when not on the road! This is our domain, and no one invades it! It's special! And "special" gets only the "best!"
Something to think about?
I can see that. And in truth. We did spring for a VERY nice grill for the camper. however. We still just use the camper for our vacations, and keep it special by never cooking in it. We do all our cooking out side, and don't need a whole bunch of pots, and pans. Am thinking of getting a new campstove that will connect to the same propane tank as the grill.
Plus as you mention. The best thing about having the TT at home. If any thing in the house breaks. We just run out to the TT and get a replacement. Over the years. The TT has been outfitted with almost every thing the house has, maybe more.
Like you however. When we started. The pups, and now the TT didn't get the best stuff. Upgraded as the years went by
