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

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. ๐Ÿ˜ž

What's yours???

A third big dog.

I can't see the difference between 2 big dogs or 3 big dogs in a 24' MH, but the 3rd dog was a big NO.

The only thing she's really said no on is a sidecar for the Harley so I can take the dog riding.

I guess I can see her point. Harder to fit on the trailer with a sidecar.

Mine said the same thing. I can see why she would say that before, but now I know the thin part goes in the back so I fail see the problem.

the thin part goes in back?? Who'd a thunk it.

My experience is: once you sell it, you'll need it a few days later.


The time between when you disposed of it and when you now need it will be in direct proportion to how long you kept it with out needing it! :B :B

My wife was reluctant to let me drill holes in the side of our (then new) travel trailer so I could mount brackets to hang our portabote on the side of the trailer. She eventually gave in, and we have enjoyed being able to have a boat wherever we go with the camper.

I did have to agree to poke no other holes in the camper, either inside or out.

For all you people who put your states map on your slide thank for the explanation. I always wondered when I walked past you unit why all those people were laying on their backs under your slide

I rather like the motorized ones, that keep waving their wings around.

I asked if I could trade her in for 2 20 year-olds. She said I wasn't wired for it anymore.

Ditto.

Who cares where you have or have not traveled?

Never pay 'em a bit of attention.

Silly "gee whiz, whoopee" value is for the owner..:S

But - it's your rig, whatever plays *your* wedding march is cool, LOL!
