Newbies! Sometimes you've just gotta laugh!

OK, my wife has a friend (former work colleague) that is several states away. He put a post on Facebook just the other day that made us laugh so much, we though we'd wet our pants.

He's never owned and never used any type of RV before, and I don't think he's ever's slept anywhere except in his own bed or a motel room all his life. He has no concept of what "camping" is all about.

So, he put this post on Facebook that he wants to take a vacation and "rent a drivable camper."

Well... we laughed so hard on that one we almost died!

My wife did tell him "gently" on Facebook that a "drivable camper" is called a motor home and fall into 3 categories, Class A, B, C, with a very quick description of what each one was.

We were on our way home from a great week-end camping ourselves when his name came up in conversation. And once again, we both laughed at that comment.

It is a reminder that there are some people out there who are absolutely, completely, wholeheartedly clueless about camping and RV usage or ownership!

Just thought I share this "funny one" with everyone!
  • We had some friends from church, whom upon hearing several of us discuss an upcoming camping trip, commented "I don't see how your enjoy all that stuff. I like my creature comforts."

    I commented to her that we had a king size memory foam bed, a 5' wide shower with hot/cold running water, a toilet that belongs to me, an LG residential refrigerator, a microwave, stove/oven and a sink in an island, a couch and two heated recliners with massage, a satellite dish and 5 TVs along with air conditioning. I also have an outdoor kitchen with a grill.

    She said she just didn't think that kind of life was her, she just loved being at home. (Just a side note - she lives in a mobile home that is about the same size as our fifth wheel.)

    Some people just don't get it.
