The bumper sewer hose storage, outdoor shower and spare tire. Oddly, all at the back of our camper.

O, and maybe the spouse... Easier to just do stuff myself (like dumping the tanks, setting up the sat dish, that sort of thing). Nothing replacement with something more modern wouldn't fix, lol! Next time I'm in a CW store, I'll look around and what's new and improved. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oops, that's 4 things. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Lol... I had to borrow one of those on my last trip because the 30amp plug wasn't working.. I will probably get one "just in case "


I bought one based on advice here. Have yet to run into a severely abused 30 amp jack.
I used mine when the pedestal would not allow me to plug in both my 30 amp and 20 amp cords. I use the 20 amp for outdoors electric. Now have a seperate 20 amp input supplying a seperate interior receptical to spread the power usage. Coffee maker or toaster plus microwave plus air conditioning can equal tripped breaker.

TV, microwave. We don't use the hot water heater much. Just heat water on the stove. Most showers are in a campground or RV park.

DVD player, not even sure it works. We do use the TV though, news, weather,and such before bedtime.
We actually use the oven, not always, but some homemade pizza on a rainy day is pretty sweet.
Also, for the most part, the 300-some piece crafstman tool kit, only used it once and it's a successful trip when it doesn't come out of the storage bin.

The Andersen Levelers.
We used to use them all the time, but then just reverted back to boards/blocks. Neat concept, but theyโ€™re not very stable for larger rigs unless you put boards underneath them...then whatโ€™s the point LOL. We also donโ€™t use any level bubbles...just set a 2 foot level on the floor when setting up.

The CD player -- my daughter used it once when we first got the camper, it hasn't been used since. Actually, the radio has rarely been used. I usually use it once a year when winterizing the camper.

We use the oven in the camper for dessert - apple turnovers or cookies. That is about all we ever use it for (besides storing plates in it).

When I think about it, we hardly ever use the microwave.

I guess what we really never use are the storage bins that slide under the rear bed. They are blocked by the support for the bed corner which has to be lifted out of the way. It is a pain, and I think there might be an umbrella in one of the drawers - not sure, haven't opened them in a few years!

Stand Alone Ice Maker, prefer to bring ice from home or just go get a bag.


In the different strokes dept., we found this to be the second most useful appliance in the bus when we were on the road. A 10 lb bag of ice takes up 1/3 of our freezer. With this, we make enough to fill up a 1 gallon Zip-Lock and stick that on a freezer door shelf.

I finally used my bottle jack. I had to drop the water tank to take care of some rodent damage and used the jack to get the tank back into position.
