Things your wife won't let you have for the RV

[et2]

I'm sure we all have a item or two the better half just refuses to agree too. Mine is pretty simple, I want one of those state visited map to put on the screen door. She won't have anything to do with it "too tacky".

I'm usually pretty good at convincing her when it comes to things. This one she puts up a brick wall. What's the big deal???? Honestly, I don't have a real good case. 😞

What's yours???

With our popup, I wanted A/C, the wife said "no" we don't need it, so the popup, has everything but A/C.... BUT now due to being older, and our new endeavor to get a class c, I will get my A/C!!!

Instead of the 'states visited' map, get one of those, 'If this RVs a rockin, Don't come a knockin!'
She might change her mind about the map.

I once saw a sticker on a trailer that read "go ahead and knock, we are too old to rock". I wanted one but DW said definitely NO.

My wife won't let me install a urinal. So I just go outside. (just kidding).... but really, we've talked about it, and she said "no!"

She won't let me put any stickers on the RV (or the automobiles) either.

So put the stickers on your half of the RV an car....

DW and I both wanted a "states camped in" map so we put one on the side between the slide outs. People come over from time to time and ask if we've "really been camping in all those places?" I know they're going to ask me what parks we stayed in and what we did and blah, blah wanting information to help plan their own trips. I have no problem with that. As for "things" for the rv. We decided she's in total control of the inside and I'm responsible for everything outside. Has worked out well for ten years.

We have been talking about getting one of the cloth ones that we can hang in the back window.

What do you think?

Are you talking about the states visited map or the 24 year old girlfriend?

:?

I'm the wife and have to nag and nag until DH finally gives in. I wanted a fire pit for our backyard. Finally convinced him that they wreren't that expensive so last fall we finally got one. He LOVES it!

I've wanted a camper for years. Stopped at an RV dealer in December to just "check it out" and DH was surprised at what we could get for under 10k. We bought it in January and he CAN'T WAIT for warm weather to get here so he can go camping!

So he's slowly learning, after 17 years of marriage, that what momma wants momma eventually gets and it's generally something he wants but just doesn't know it at the time.

LOL After 30 or so years of marriage, I finally learned to say:" Yes, dear. Without fighting about it" It really works!

It is a lesson all us men have to learn. He will come around, sooner or later. LOL

LOL some of the worse fights we have had in 30 years started after "yes dear"! :S :B :B

You know... I suspect my wife would have complained about one of those too somehow.

Alas.. That was last year though. This year.. Is another matter.

That said there are many things I'd like to have... but... Space limitations or other restrictions are real..

For example a nice Ameritron Linier amp for my ham rig.. But I have not the power to feed it, and not the space to park it. But one of those would sure put some fire in the wire. (not that I do not reach most of the planet running 30-40 watts of power out of my 100 watt rig)

I don't have a states map but I collect stickers for the camper on our trips. My Stickers

as long as it's "her" idea you can have it.

> overnight delivery

She knows but she's too cheap to pay extra for it. 😉

Count me among those who think the state maps look ridiculous. I know what states I have been in or not and don't feel the need to brag to anyone else. Now possibly when I get older and more forgetful, maybe then I will regret not having one. To each his own.

we have a map that is stuck to the slide out so it is only seen when the slide out is open.

I don’t allow my wife to purchase anything unless she absolutely needs it. She chooses to spend all her money on things that I want. Ha Ha. That is funny. It is nice to day dream once in a while.

The truth of the matter is we were high school sweethearts and more in love now than we were as teenagers. If she wants something for camper or anything else, I support her decision to make the purchase. If I want something, she supports my decision to purchase. We purchase large ticket items together, but she requests me to do the research as long as she gets to choose the colors. It works for us.

Oh yes, the 24 year old a poster spoke about wanting would be nothing but a brand new set of problems. Better decision is to stick with what one is familiar with.

She let me have the Kegerator for the garage in the Toyhauler. But the Stripper pole for the patio deck was a stretch.
