I am going to have to go with the CD/Radio. Bought a great one, with IPOD dock kit.Could listen for 3 full days without having to change CD, also plays CD, Radio, sound quality great- Absolutely fab - that is until you misplace the front with all the controls on then its a lot of expensive sh*t with no function in life, been 18 months looking for the front - ended up having to take it all out.
These anti-theft devices are great until you loose it

Windout awnings that threaten to unpeel the side of your motorhome every time the wind blows.
Huge aquarolls and other wheeled containers, much easier to use a shopping trolley to transport water containers, gas cylinders or batteries. Oh and also useful for fetching the groceries.

Yes agree with grip mats and roll flat hose but also folding buckets - a 2 litre pop bottle would hold more. Sorry but l..o...v...e.. my sleeping bag, find it really cosy.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.
The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

I bought one of those 12 volt kettles.I thought you could plug it in and have a nice cuppa as soon as you reached your destination.
If you like luke warm tea its great.

Yes, we have the one with the spinner as well. It is a great piece of kit, does the job very well. We are well impressed with ours. Good for getting the worst out of the towels as well when just using the spinner. OK you could not use it for a main wash, but it beats having to wait hours for a washing machine when on hols, ours has already paid for its self

Our 'useless purchases':
Collapsable water container - collapsed with the water still inside it...made an interesting indoor fountain!
12v hair straightners - ok if you only want to straighten each hair individually and drain your battery at the same time
Van draught skirt - hubby didn't want to stick the attachment rail onto the side of the van in case it ruined it . He'd rather carry a cut down wind break and try to bash that into solid ground to stop the dog escaping and risk walloping the side of the van with the mallet!
'Roll up' aluminium table - Total rubbish, flimsy and broke easily.

Oh dear - I was recommended that idea by somebody else - I don't think I'll bother trying it now
I wonder how well 'suckers' work?
