I agree with you on many of the products listed..
RV TOILET PAPER - Is actually useful if you are refinishing something.. it is a rather good Sandpaper.
EXPENSIVE BLACK TANK DEODORIZERS
Literally pouring money down the toilet.. Plus it is the GRAY tank that stinks the most.
SPECIALLY LABELED AND MARKETED SLIDE LUBE - Just go buy a can of Dry Silicone Lubricant from Home Depot at 1/3 less.
Full agreement
HONDA GENERATORS
Well, at one time if you had an Inverter Generator it was most likely a Honda.. I, myself, would rather have a Yahama than a Honda.. But that said they are very good, and very quiet, and HONDAs do have one feature NO OTHER BRAND HAS (in fact they have two such features) and this does make them very inviting.. Those features. An "Extended Run" Fuel system (Since they have a genuine fuel pump) and the Companion model for the 2000. Oh, and they are very very fuel efficient. But then so are all teh Inverter generators.
QUIET GENERATORS This one is a personal issue. I know folks who run Contractor models all night long "But it has a Honda Engine so it's quite" Uh.. Trust me.. NO.
PLASTIC DECORATIVE PINK FLAMINGOS - And several other "Decorative" Items .. but these get marketed to home owners as well.
SWAY BARS.. Depends on the chassis.. I have determined I do not need an upgrade on my RV.. But I did need to upgrade some other things.. But not the Sway bar.. Not all are as well built.
SPECIALIZED RV CLEANING PRODUCTS - I use a lot of DAWN and Spic & Span
But the fact is no matter if you have a RV or a Sticks and Bricks, Folks are going to try to sell you stuff you do not need, Lots of Vacuum Cleaner Salesmen out there.
