We have noticed not too many people using the Arvee club coupon code in the store lately.  Please use ARVEE872KY when checking out and you can receive your 10% discount.  Please also remember that shipping is free to the continental US.

Please respond here if there are items we should be adding.

Thanks

You've had some great items in the store. Problem is I've waited too long to buy them and they are gone when I'm finally ready! i've got to learn to buy it when I see it!
 
My favorite purchase was that woven plastic patio rug for outside the camper, Next were the bunk fan/ lights.

I agree, the mat was probably the best thing I have picked up!!!

You need to keep them in the store.

Great feedback.  More please !!

Aluminum roll top tables........

Hard mount 12V female plugs for the fantastic vent fan so I don't have a cord dangling over my head plugged in to the modified overhead llight.

Various clips and pin combinations (awning pole pins, coupler pins for Jaycos, coupler locks for Jaycos - some stqandard ones don't fit)...

How about a pop up tool kit of some kind?

Or an mini electrical kit with fuses, connectors, cutters, etc.

and a soft sided bag to put the tools, etc. in....

I don't pretend to have any idea how your on-line store works.  How much business do you get from non-members?  If it's mostly business from Arvee members, you need to stock items that need to be replenished yearly.  For instance, once a member buys a pati-o-mat, what are the chances of them needing another one anytime too soon.  On the other hand, if they bought porta-potty chemicals, they would need to buy that more often.  

If you are looking to atract the non-members to your store, you need to carry the unique items that are hard to find elsewhere.  
 
Some of the things I have found EXTREMELY useful and that I would recommend that others purchase (that you don't have in the store) are:
The Bal Leveler
The pati-o-mat
Plastic Aligator tarp clips (metal clips rust)
The Pop-a collection (plates, napkins, tissues, etc)
The Hitch Finder ( http://mysite.verizon.net/s_howland/Hitch_Finder.jpg  )
The most comfortable chair I've ever had and that everyone fights to sit in( http://www.greatoutdoors.com/go/product/highbackaluminumfoldingdeckchair/boatersworld.com/ )
These clips that have a hook on the end exactly fit the awning poles on Coleman pop-ups ( http://www.greatoutdoors.com/go/product/beachclip4pk/boatersworld.com/ )
 
Boy, I have to say, there's not much you don't carry!  If I can think of anything else, I'll post another message.

I have been very pleased with all of my purchased with your store!  I hope that you can carry some more camping books & videos.  I also like to look for items that would be fun with camping such as games, gps products, radios, camp furniture, and lights/lanterns.  Also, some of the items that we have to make ourselves such as drain vents could be offered to new pop-up campers.  You may even have some people within the Arvee club that may have items they could sell through your service.

Some of the "must have items" I have that may be good to keep in the store include:  an EZ HITCH (http://www.ezhitch.biz/), then Endless Breeze Fan(I bought mine from you), woven mats (like you had before), an easy to use propane guage (still looking for one), Entry step cover (bought mine from local RV dealer), Locks for hitch & for tire to secure pop-up, Lynx Leveler and chock(bought mine from you), Neat tire covers (I have a plain one from local rv dealer), Mesh laundry bags (great for the pool/lake or for dirty clothes),  Holders for storing grocery store bags (made mine, but some I have seen look easier to use), trash can that folds down for storage (gift from my family-really works great http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=22060&src=SRCH&tcode=37).

I wish you the best of luck with the store.  I really like this site, magazine, & the store.

I wish you would bring back the T-SHIRTS. I am down to my last good one, and I save that just for camping.

While you're out shopping for new stuff to put in the store, how about locating and stocking a double axle BAL leveler for us dbl axle challenged Hybrid members?!?! Yeah I know, they don't make one...yet! Wishful thinking never hurt anyone though....;)

popupcop

I want a BAL leveler at a competative price.  I have not seen one listed in your store. I am getting one this year from sombody.  It might as well be you!  
 
Thanks for asking............

How about some fold down items like a mesh laundry hamper ("playhut style"), a foldup trash can (like the lawn and leaf style that folds down almost flat), dutch oven accessories like a lid lifter, DO or other camping cookbooks.
