I am now looking into outfitting the Barth I bought from Jeff in Florida. Since I am still in Thailand I am doing my shopping via the internet. Amazon has a lot of free shipping which works out well.

I am in the strange position of not having a house to borrow stuff from, so I need all new stuff.

I have ordered
Outdoor Chairs
Folding table
Lantern and Flashlight
Dishes for 4
Flatware for 8
Cookware
Toster oven
coffee pot
Towels Kitchen and Bath
Bath mats
Cordless Drill
Homeowners Tool set
Mechanics tool set
Drill bit set
Sheets
Pillow cases
Blanket
Garmin GPS 250W
various travel books
Scooter Carry Rack
Scooter 250cc
Exercise weights

What am I missing? I am sure you guys have found out that there are things you thought you needed but did not and the otheway.

I still need internet access if I choose not to rely on wifi.

membership to Family Motor Coach Association--many great benefits.
And Duct tape--fixes alots of things "in a pinch"

Ditto on the Barth Tape, and an assortment of bungee cords, zip ties, tie down straps for the scooter,and a bicycle.

Exercise weights

What on earth would you ever use these for?

We carry a kit of 2-part Marine Tex for that unexpected leak. When it sets it will mend just about anything. Used it to repair our Blackwater tank 3 years ago and it's still working.

A word on the scooter and scooter rack; if you buy a rack that allows towing, you can add a trailer or toad later. If you were to buy an enclosed trailer you can carry numerous items in a clean environment. I put a bike rack crosswise on my open car trailer so I can carry a vehicle and a bike. It's good to have this thought out or you'll spend a fortune chasing your tail!!

Oh yeah, throw away the weights and get the most necessary campground luxury, a Golf Cart!!!!

Corey (Cheri's driver)

A hank of 550 cord and a tube of Shoe Goo.

An awning holder-downer-unroller-preventer.

New wiper blades.

An Endless Breeze fan. Great for inside sleeping and outside bug chasing.

Small propane grille.

Multimeter

Power pole checker if you don't wanna use the meter.

50-30-20 amp dogbones.

Long length of wire with alligator clips on each end.

Hot light.

I also like Garmin, but you might wanna consider the Nuvi series. A recent Consumer Reports has a good write up, and rated them highly. Don't be misled by the prices they quote.

Super glue

A spool of heavy nylon thread. It is good for sewing, suturing, flying a kite, and can be wrapped around a broke thing and soaked with super glue for an astoundingly good repair.

Water thief.

Some sort of sanitizer for spraying a faucet before you hook up and after-dump hand cleaning.

4 can cozy's and beer to put in them.

Here's a fairly recent post about screen rooms. We consider ours mandatory equipment. Especially if you're staying for more than a night or two. Of course it depends on what kind of awning you have.

Don't buy anything! Invite Rusty and Bill H. to keep the coach running and Cheri to bring the wine and wine glasses so you will have something to do while Rusty and Bill H. fix things.

I crawled around that coach for a couple of hours...there's not much there for someone who likes tinkering, and only a couple of things to fix. So Corey and Cheri need to bring PLENTY of wine!
