What's the most useless item you insist on taking in your MH?

[HKF]

Mine's a collection of plastic and nylon bags/sacks that had sheets, sleeping bags, pillow cases in. I'll probably never have a use for them but, even after a clear out when we found we were overweight, I still had to put them back in the cupboard.....just in case!!

 

[Lenny HB]

About 4 times as many clothes as we actually need and on this trip my paddleboard.

 

[Dave Scadding]

My wife would suggest me .

 

[suavecarve]

A set of weighing scales.

Weighing in at 4100 kgs maximum

When leaving we are 3600 kgs even I cant get that much wine into the van to cause concern

On our first trip out in the new van recently my wife packed, unknown to me our emergency bag from the boat, containing a 12v 750gph Bilge pump!

For me it is the person who has more degrees' than a thermometer and has motorhomed with me for 30 years but still does not know which corner to watch for me as I turn or reverse. Many years of coaching and training has led to nothing, but would not be without them and they don't read this forum, hence my bravery.

Alan's guilty of the above, he takes waaaaaaaaaaay more clothes than me.

The TV.
Never use it.

Ditto, not used for 12 years.

 

[chatteris]

navigator, unfortunately it comes as a bundle with cook and washer up

 

[Mohawk Mo]

2 body boards (don't own wet suits to go with them) never used them yet but apparently you never know when you might.

 

[Guigsy]

The TV.
Never use it.

Our van came with a TV. After a year, we hadn't used it, so I removed it, stuck a piece of sheet steel up instead and it's now a magnet board. Then earlier this year, I replaced the TV aerial with a 5G antenna and powered the new router with the supply the TV signal booster was using.

Something we never use is all the dozens of pairs of different types of shoes my wife brings. Wellies, walking boots, slippers, slip-ons, water shoes, sandals and several pairs of trainers. Then wears the same pair of trainers all holiday.

 

[landscaper]

So many “just in case items” including a tooth repair kit!

The shower! We never used it in any of our ‘vans………but it did double as a great wardrobe/drying room!

 

[Grianan]

I say .., Quest pop up, spare toilet cassette, walking boots.
Tim says … the dog!!!!!

 

[scotjimland]

After a trip I have a look at what we carried, if wasn't used, I ask myself why not , will ever use it.?
If not then it is removed..
Case in point, we carried a wind break all over France this year and never used it.. it's now in the shed.
However, what we carry depends on where we are going.. so each trip you have to decide what you need and what is excess baggage .. w/e trips need less than a month away


To answer the OP question..

10x50 binoculars .. can't recall the last time I used them.
Camera tri-pod.. likewise ..

Loving this thread. As new motorhomers (only had ours for a year), every time we get ready to go somewhere we (I) seem to pack stuff we may never need - just in case. I will say though - it is amazing how many times my hubby has said "I don't suppose you packed so and so?" to which I am mostly able to reply "yes actually"

Ditto. Mine refuses even to do any cooking. As for navigating ...

That’s going to cost you next time we meet

Might have come in handy if you were going to Scotland this week though

 

[Abacist]

A pair of axle stands and bottle jack capable of 5 tons!

Useless until I need them!
