TV mount/entertainment center...We have never used a TV in any of our 4 campers and don't plan on it. Way too much to do outside which is the reason why we are camping in the first place. We would rather have another cabinet.

I use the cable tv but never the satellite prewired jacks. I never used the generator while camping, only turned it on for maintenance of the unit.

Probably could do without 3 or 4 of the camp chairs that we carry in the front storage area of our FW.

We pretty much use everything, especially the outside shower. But we boondock 75% of time and do not want to fill our tanks. We also use it to wash dirty feet, dirty dishes/coffee pot, etc. The only thing I can think of that we never use is the BBQ that came with the trailer.

When we had a pop-up it had a lock on the door to the removable poop tank. Can't imagine who'd want to go looking around in there. So I used to lock my wallet in there when we went swimming!

We never use our fireplace - nor have we ever used a camper oven. My current outdoor shower is on the wrong side of the camper so doesn't get used.

We use the outside shower all the time. The current one is not well located. We took out the outside microwave. We use the inside one. Use everything else.

Outside speakers and TV mount. I'd rather not have the holes in the walls for something I don't use. Oven... we use a toaster oven very successfully. Outside kitchen... I have enough stuff that I like to use so I bought a model with extra storage rather than the expensive outside kitchen. TV antenna... again I'd rather not have the holes in the outside of the camper. If I don't have cable I just watch old DVDs. SMALL grey tanks... wish mine were bigger... Sink covers... pretty much useless. Ultra-bright LED strip under awning... this wasn't thought out very well. I have mine separated from the step light, now. Pull-out sink faucet head... I'd rather have a better quality faucet without the pull-out head than this one... looks nice and works... for now. I wonder how long I'll be saying that. I use my outside shower occasionally, but wish it was on the curb side of the camper rather than the street side. I'm sure there are other things I can't think of right now, but I'm old...

Don't have any use for television, microwave, stereo. Outside shower could live without. To be honest, so far haven't even needed the bathroom/shower.

Prior to last year, my most recent trailer camping experience was 40 years ago, before most TT's were electrified. Back then our gray water "tank" was a 5 gallon bucket under the sink drain. Lighting was a single gas light over the dinette. Faucet was a hand pump.

I still haven't found the need to use all of the fancy-schmancy stuff that my X213 came equipped with (and it's bare bones compared to what some of you travel with). Too much of that stuff just seems to involve a lot of unnecessary maintenance. I admit that I'm a lazy camper. I'd rather just hook up and go - park and unhook - then...

Well, we just purchased our 31FK, so don't know what I'd do without in that model, but in our last tt, I could do without the bright LED awning light. We ran low light incandescent rope lights into an awning channel for soft ambient lighting. I hate LED lighting. We used everything else in that tt.

Now, while searching for our new rig, I was really not caring AT ALL if we had a dinette. If it was a choice between losing the dinette so we could have a couch I was all for it! I cook inside a lot, including the oven..but we almost never sit at the table inside. If we kept it, I was going to put some theater seating in that spot.

+1 on the outdoor shower and oven. Would rather have nice microwave/convection and have storage where the oven is. Stupid amber light on wrong side of trailer.

Never would attach the BBQ to the side of my rig, and cook under the awning. I modified the bracket made to hang it, so I can set it on a picnic table, and run it off a bottle of propane, don't use the propane connection off the RV. Also I like to do my dishes outdoors, so took off the shower head fitting on the outdoor shower and put on a hose fitting, so I can use the outdoor shower to get hot water for washing dishes outdoors.

If she is packing 21 shirts then apparently she thinks you should be changing your shirt 4 times a day with a spare one for emergencies.

Good luck with that.
