Salvaging Old Camper Parts Validates RV Hoarding

[Chefsonora]

Went to my other property to salvage some windows from the old truck bed camper (which went pretty well, got 6 windows) they'll need some tlc and need to be re-screened.
Kept poking around and pulled out the dinette table and base, a couple of vintage light fixtures. Found a couple of wheels/tires that might make a good upgrade for the HF trailer. Dug out my old camp box so that if I get the camper close enough to complete, at least ill have some supplies.
The icing on the itchy cake was the 1/2 full 5 gallon jug of polyester resin and some chopped glass mat and a sheet of HDPE.
SO, all in all as much of this stuff should have been cleared out, I can pat myself on the back for saving/ utilizing my piles of crap!

Being the child of Great Depression era parents has instilled that sense of usefulness and thrift in me as well. It harkens back to the days of things being repairable.

It’s always nice to have our hoarding tendencies validated.

I like having spare parts and pieces around, has saved me 100s of times.

"Not sure what this is but it looks useful". In the collection it goes.

Good job! And yes, I've got the great depression itch, not directly but raised in a home that did.

"Use it up, wear it out; make it do, or do without" --could've been the motto of every depression era farmer. I keep a role of baling wire in my TD toolbox; it's a family tradition!
