I have spent today sorting through the stuff in our MH, ahead of the new one coming on Monday. I need to decide what to transfer to the new one, what to leave for the new owner and what to throw away.
In most cases the decision is fairly easy but I have a conundrum regarding the Silver Screen. Our present van is based on a 2007 Ford transit but the new one is built on a 2017 Peugeot Boxer chassis. For me the decision is quite easy. The screen almost certainly won't fit the new MH, so I should leave it behind for the next owner to use.
The problem is that my lovely wife (who comes from the "waste not, want not" fraternity) bought it for me as a present. She thinks it will still be of some use in the new van (with which I disagree) and she doesn't like the thought of me giving her present to me away.
She feels the cold more than I do and will be the first to complain if the new van is chilly because of lack of proper insulation. My inclination is to point this out to her and say that, in her interests, I am prepared to sacrifice the wonderful present she bought me (and I was very grateful for it) and will buy one which fits the new MH.
What would you do in my position?
