Money Pit on Wheels!!

[jboleske]

Newbie here. Have had our rig since End of Nov but JUST got the brake controller installed on my Ram so we have yet to take it out of my driveway. Getting prepped for trip to Ft Wilderness in a few weeks. Wife is loving doing the decorating and “situating”.

I can’t get over all the extras I continue to have to buy for this thing. Probably $100 in Command Hooks alone.

I think Tom Hanks and Shelly long should film “Money Pit 2: The RV Years”.

Still loving the idea and can’t wait to take our first trip. Thanks for all the great tips and advice.

Stay safe!!

Stop reading this forum or the costs of upgrades and enhancements are going to soar FAR beyond what you expected.

Happy trails.

No Kidding! We're on our 4th TT and figured out long ago that buying the camper is only the beginning. Someone once said owning a TT ain't for sissies. Love the movie idea Money Pit 2: The RV Years

Ha. My wife is saying the same thing. I actually think I have been pretty rational. Here’s a list of stuff I bought. Anyone think I overdid it? What was dumb, what did I miss?

Sidewinder sewer hose support
Camco dual flush for sewer hose
“Y” connector for water hookup
Pressure regulator
90 degree elbow for water connection
Water filters
Tire inflator
Plastic leveling blocks
New shower head
New toilet seat
Tension shower rod (don’t like retractable screen)
Laser thermometer
Big ****** surge protector
15A to 30A dog bone
Lashing straps
Wheel covers
Fuses
Reusable zip ties
Toilet swivel stick
Tire inflator
Scissor wheel chocks
Heavy rubber chocks
TPMS pending final choice

And oh yeah, a 2021 Ram 1500!! LOL

Thanks!

Well, you probably could have gotten by without the second tire inflator....Unless you are a Belt, Suspenders, and a Rope kind of guy.

You know what? I actually did buy 2 inflators but I think I’ll just keep one of them in the truck. The other is the Ryobi One inflator and deflator. Will come in handy when we open/close pool too. I’m 3-4 yrs away from retirement so gonna try to do 2-3 trips per year. Can’t wait to let you all know how many dumb things I end up doing.

Happy Trails

You lost me at "my wife..." never tell the wife how much it costs! Happy wife, happy life. All of the "investment" cost is a rounding error, unless she is a legit accountant. All I know is I lost way too much in the deal, but we are all very happy. How can you put a price on that. Ha ha ha ha. [emoji6]

You didn't even get into the expensive add-ons yet.

Well it's a start....

Hang around with this forum crowd (and the other one) and they will show you how to spend a lot more. If it's one thing forum people can do, and do well, is spend your money for you!

But I agree with a previous answer...don't go buy a bunch of stuff before you at least go camping somewhere. What's important to me might not be important to you.
