Double Bed size camping stretcher.  Most uncomfortable unit I've ever bought, plus isn't a holiday made for getting away from all the usual things you do every other day?  Single Stretchers all the way....

A cheap set of crayons. I got them home, unwrapped them & found that they weren't labelled so useless to me as I didn't know what colour they were!

I bought one of those hose bags when i had the Jayco couldnt be botherd with it and never used it. Come to think of it i did use for a Rag  :cheers:
I got the power lead bag and reckon it's worse: the lead is plugged in at home, it gets chucked in the front boot and then immediately pulled out and plugged in if we're camping with 240v and don't take it if we are on 12v only, what a waste of time. And it's too small to use for much else, a complete wa#k in my book and stupid me bought it.
At least I use my hose bag.

Most of what has been put up I can see yes waste of money. But vacuum sealer? They are great, we use ours all the time.

our vacuum sealer gets a lot of work, we buy bulk lamb loin chops and vacpac and freeze em in slabs of 8.

never bought a 12v kettle which seems to be the next most popular lemon.

We purchased a 2011 Jayco Hawk OB and really thought it would suit our family.
I invested a heap of time modding it to make it more suitable for a bit of offroad use.

After only a few outings, we soon realised this camper was definitely not for us.

I am not bagging out Jayco, a lot of people  love them to bits.
But for us...... It definitely was a big waste of time and money :'(

I paid $200.00 once for an hour with a high class hooker. Did my thing (It was fantastic  >:D) and then had to talk about the weather to use up the other 57 minutes.

You dont understand. It's not the service that your paying for..

Your paying for them to leave afterwards.

It's interesting to see that often the common denominator is cheap! I've been bitten a few times by buying cheap gear thinking it was a good deal, but so often it comes back to bite you. As they say, a poor man buys twice!

Expanding Hose. These things are bloody useless. Saw them being demo'd at a home and garden show and thought they looked great so being a bit of a gadget man i bought one. First time being used it sprung two leaks so sent it back and eventually got it replaced but it cost me the courier to return. Used the replacement several times and it sprung several more leaks again. No luck in getting another replacement.
Into the bin it went.  >:(

I've got one of those hoses too!!  Haven't even opened it yet.  Looked very compact to put in the trailer.

Sounds like I wont bother... >:(
