Responding to an earlier post regarding covers for a B made me wonder what accessories we have purchased for our B's but wind up never using them? For me it is a Sunbrella cover and a Fiamma screen room which we don't use because of our style of travel (lots of short stays).
We also very rarely use a 12 volt lap blanket, 120 volt electric blanket, and some cup holders.

So far, we have yet to actually use the special grill we bought (special because it fits in under the back seat). But then our van gets more use out of driving to visit relatives (where we bring our own sleeping quarters) rather than actual camping. But I'm hoping to get there this summer soon!
I downsized my rig to fit my dog.

Oh yes, we have a BBQ that has yet to be used because we do a lot of pre-trip cooking and microwave warm-ups. Some day....

bought a 12 volt small hand held vacuum...used it once. Use the whisk broom when traveling quicker and works great.
Leveling lego type blocks...used once, but am sure we'll need them again some time.

We have an inflatable mattress we've used for over a year. About a month ago we were in a hurry and didn't put it on the sofa, and afterwards decided we preferred not using it. It's still available for use with the tent.
Someone gave us levellers, but we've never used them.

How do you guys get buy without using the blocks? Most of the state park campgrounds where we have been the most take about 3" of levelling. We actually had to get a second set, so we could get to 4".

I second that emotion. It has been over a year since we did NOT need leveling -- and we have stayed in over 75 different parks. What leveling "check" do you use? Visual from outside the RV? Or is it based on how fast an orange rolls down the aisle?

It seems to depend on what part of the country you are in. In some states it seems the parks work at making spots reasonable level, other don't seem to care. In 4 years we have used leveling blocks twice. Last year we spent 3 months, left Arizona and toured upper New York, Michigan and Ohio, in none of these did we need blocks. We stayed mostly in state parks. We made one side trip to Vermont and the state park there needed blocks. At present we have been on the road for a month, through Nevada, Idaho and now Washington, no blocks yet and don't expect any. Of course I have seen people use blocks when I would not, half a bubble is good.

Can you fill your coffee cup to within about 1/4" of full without spilling over onto the table? Something called "seat of the pants" feel. I guess we have been lucky.
