Wanting to spend some money

VTR

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!

When we had our TT, the #1 item that served us the best was an electric tongue jack...#2 was a Sherline tongue scale...#3 was a TPMS...#4 was getting rid of the Goodyear Marathons and replacing them with Maxxis.....#5 was selling the Dual Cam on eBay and buying a hensley arrow.

ha ha ha - I think about that every day. My TT is only two years old. Unfortunately $$ says I can only think about it.

I'd lean toward solar and maybe an additional battery/batteries that will let you run the house furnace with digitally controlled heat. Consistent heat, no window cracking, temp guessing, or window fogging.

Then again, some smaller rigs have the furnace too close too the bed so it's too noisy. In that case I'd look at the Wave far sooner than a buddy.

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!!!!!

How about a set of walkie-talkies like people use on boats. Those walkie-talkies have a range of 2 - 5 miles across the water. 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.
