Dealing with Freeloaders
Way back in prehistoric times, in a different life, I rented and used an RV for the very first time. I contracted for a Robin Hood RV. It was a modest size and good for our family of 3.
As soon as the family found out, everyone invited themselves to go with us and I found that I had to upgrade the RV size I was renting and wound up with a new 1976 Open Road. It was a great trip, but...
Of course everyone agreed to pay part of the trip, but at the end of the week after returning home, everyone promptly forgot about their commitment and also found excuses.
Now we have our very own (new to us) motorhome and we have said clearly to all our family that we will take them anywhere they want to go, but they will have to pay for fuel plus any special foods or drink they want to bring.
What do you do about this situation?
