Nine things nomads never need!

tx2sturgis · Oct 3, 2023

This is just for fun! It's not a 'Top Ten', its a 'Never Needed Nine'!

I thought some of us might appreciate 'lightening the load' figuratively and literally...

Nine Things Nomads Never Need:

1 Lawnmower

2 File cabinet

Anyone want to add to the list?

Doesn't have to be nine....but if you can think of nine...then that's nine extra points!

Have fun!

Yes, but the head room only allows for mice!

This RV has half decent insulation... not great... but better than most...

I have a portable carpet spot cleaner that I use a lot on the carpet in the Pace Arrow. I have 2 pets, so needed something. However I have 2 strips of maybe 2' x 3' carpet so anything larger than hand held would be overkill.

tx2sturgis · Oct 3, 2023

Yep...there will always be an exception or two...

I was thinking more along the lines of one of those large steam cleaning carpet machines...but hey...ya never know!

Speaking of cleaning carpets: Over the years I have bought vehicles with some pretty crusty carpet. I would tape a garden hose with sprayer attached to my shop vac with a 4” vac nozzle. Turn water nozzle on low and pull shop vac backwards sucking up water and loosened crud. After I get it clean I go back over carpet with just shop vac to suck up the majority of the water left behind. I have even done this in my home on small spots using just a glass of water and shop vac. Best Wishes

No need…

1) for a vacation
2) my snow plow
3) to put up firewood for heat
4) to worry if you don’t like your neighbor… you can move!
5) for a power log splitter
6) to find things to do
7) to stress over trying to come up with nine things…

The leaf blower makes sense… you could be out on a sail boat and the wind dies…
