What odd things to you have in your RV?

[GFritsch]

cordless drill, a bunch of heavy duty wire ties (like flex cuffs) 12 gauge, M1a, either the P228 or 1911 (with plenty ammo&mags), shovel handle (works good on unleashed over motivated dogs) 30' of heavy chain, expandable baton.

:-laf :-laf :-laf Everything on your list I take as well (slight variation on the arms). I do not have the expanding baton... . Guess I better go shopping.

Geez Patriot you camping on CG's or the middle of riots?



I always take our home made ice cream maker. it came from our days of boating. we always brought the ice cream maker when boat camping. they called me the ice cream man.



We had strawberry this past Saturday night.

Expandable batons are illegal unless your a cop'er. I just carry a different variation. A closet pole cut to 3' length.



Dont forget to add binoculars, strobe light to hang on your flag poles for late arrivers. Shovel, rake, toolbox, etc.

I don't think the cordless drill is to wierd, actually very useful! We don't have anything wierd (yet)!

I use my 18V dewalt cordless drill, by using a socket adapter, then a 3/4" socket to run down or up the back jacks. Makes easy work of them, then just use the hand crank that came with the camper to tight it up.



2 flag poles for a american flag, chiefs football flag, and race flags. And a game we call arizona horseshoes, with the 2 golf balls attatched to cord, and you throw at a pvc stand with 3 bars. Lots of fun, and its easy to play with a beer in one hand.

I try not to camp in "low rent" campgrounds, but many times you have to go somewhere sight unseen.

Thank God I never needed the stuff I carry.

I also have a German shepherd and a 75lb mutt. The mutt is terrified of rustling leaves and wind, but the shep fears NOTHING!!!!:laf:

Two surfboards-longboard & shortboard, fiberglass, solar panels, & extra water pump. Wife has a small mailbox that she posts up in our campsites along with lights and wind chimes to cover the awning with.

 

[Sarge]

My wife takes me, she says it's the oddest thing she knows... .....



I, on the other hand take a mini fridge strapped to the floor next to my recliner to put the beer in. The Jack stays in the big fridge... ... .



A cast iron mini Hibiachi works as a traveling fire pit.

 

[klenger]

Anyone have Pink Flamingos? I know Rusty does.

 

[CLAYTON]

Is there any truth to this Rusty?



I have some self tapping screws and washers now after a little problem with my underbelly (on the trailer of course). :-laf I guess that's not to weird.

SnakeShot

We camp at our property in West Virginia on weekends. One day I almost stepped on a Timber Rattler getting a sun tan. Now I keep a 7" Ruger 357 revolver loaded with shot shell in a handy compartment. For a larger emergency response there are a couple of speed loaders filled with Black Talon.



For those concerned "yes I do" and Virginia and West Virginia share concealed carry reciprocity.



On the gentler side compartment is the Victoria's Secret Champagne body lotion.



Trailer is protected by Jack Russell Terrier! :-laf

You caught me, my wife hung an inflatable pink flamingo from our awning the last trip.

 

[The patriot]

I got pink flamingo awning lights.

blue streak

I keep a can of "Blue Streak" fly bait in the camper. It stinks to high heaven but the flys love it. The can says it smells like fly sex, boy I feel sorry for them. This stuff kills them dead, it's funny to watch them, they take a couple of bites, rear up on their hind legs, fall over on their backs and then flap their wings and spin in circles. I love to watch them ( god i'm sick)

 

[kelly4463]

THE PATRIOL - i have a german shepherd his name is BEAR "AKA" SCOOBY-DOO :-laf take a look at my truck pics and you can see him

 

[litespeed]

Extra batteries for my wife's "toys"



:-laf

LOL!! :-laf



Use rechargeables!! Keeps the battery count lower..... They keep going and going... ... Oo.



We have an "Mano Y Metate" in our RV (Stone age corn grinder). My wife found it out in Colorado many years ago. Bizarre looking thing!!

No one has yet mentioned some of my unusual (but not weird) items:

• Torque wrench for checking lug nuts on both truck and trailer.
  
• Fire extinguishers: Halon (for my engine) and dry chemical (for other people's engines).
  
• Come-along, heavy-duty tow straps, jumper cables: for helping others (I hope)
  
• Hydraulic jack capable of getting under the trailer with a flat tire and lifting it high enough to change said tire.
  
• "Baby gate" This is one of those expandable fences that you can put in a doorway to prevent a baby from getting into the next room. We use it to keep the dogs off the bed sometimes.
  
• Spare parts: Lift pump (24-valve - Need I say more?); Fuses; Various nuts, screws etc.
  

And then the one item that probably is weird:

• A coffee roaster (and green coffee beans)
  

I used to sell coffee roasters, so I carried one around. Now that the manufacturer has gone out of business, I won't part with it for the world. Coffee never tastes better than when it's fresh.

How about a cockatoo? The wife won't leave him home with anyone else for more than about two or three days. Guess our trips will all be short ones!
