Biggest waste of money?

[Jonesy123]

What was the biggest waste of time and money you ever bought in the name of camper improvement?

Did you fall foul of camper fashion and realise you just spaffed money on crap?

Did you buy something you regret?

Is there a product out there that you think isn't worth it?

Dayglow pegs for the side awning - total pants and went straight in the bin.

These fancy light switches. Absolutely useless in the dark with a drunk operator

Discovery Media on the T6, utter crap.

Bought this to hang internally on the back door. Only cheap but it didn't last long before one of the hanging clips broke.
Open to alternative suggestions!

Fortunately a small purchase but the interior "blinds" I bought were absolute crap, I ended up making my own interim version until I can get some vanshades.

I replaced the rear in-bumper reflectors with LED versions. Then had to add reflectors to my rear mudflaps to be legal and the LED replacements don’t last long either!

Long story short, yes

We got one of these after getting a similar thing to you, it hangs off the back of the passenger seat most of the time then normally put it just outside the door or between the seats when camping. Has pockets in the side for spare bags etc and is easy to keep clean.

Reimo Hispaniola awning. What a pile of c$%p.
