Think about this, RV is an abbreviation of 'recreational vehicle'. Now when you say "we RV" instead of saying ArrVee use the words recreational vehicle. Sounds kind of stupid doesn't it? "We don't camp, we recreational vehicle." :B :B
Saying "we don't camp, we RV" sounds very elitist and snobbish to me.
We don't RV, we camp and we travel.
On the subject of proper grammar on this forum, I too noticed the misuse of certain words. I was told that the objective was simply to communicate. Therefore, I suppose that you have to ask yourself if the poster "communicated"?
I personally believe that the nonword "RVing" was coined in these RV forums a long time ago, and it's very useful.
