Things I have learned from these forums

Another thread got me thinking about all the important things I have learned from these forums that I otherwise never would have believed.
Here is a short list, feel free to pile on.

Dogs left in an RV NEVER bark.
Dog waste is completely sterile and clean
Tires made in China are specifically manufactured to kill the user
No matter what the price, the rent for an RV site is too high
Good Sam Roadside Assistance will never respond to a call
Camping World has never had a customer they didn't rip off
No matter what the price, you could have bought a better RV for Less
If you don't pay cash for your RV, you are a poor money manager
If a park enforces their rules, they are rule Nazis
There is no dog waste in parks because all owners pick it up
All tow vehicles are overloaded when their RV is attached
It's not camping if you don't have a fire
All campfires are nothing but smoky messes
If you drive faster than 20 MPH under the speed limit you aren't
smelling the roses

  • I find I have fewer problems with people if I just have nothing to do with them.
    I am the only reasonable person I know.
    Everyone is just trying to rip me off . If they seem nice it is only a trick to try to get something from me.
  • I think some may be missing out on the "tongue-in-cheek-ness" of the OP's list.
  • To add:

    Anyone that considers their own needs ahead of those of a stranger is a "ME FIRSTer" and a very selfish/rude jack-hole. Especially evident at gas stations, dump stations and walking in the middle of campground road-ways.
  • Other truths

    1. Posters do not know how to say Thank You for answers to their questions
    2. Mountains and big hills scare the heck out of most posters
    3. People do not bother to search for answers to their topic before posting
    4. Yellowstone questions come up every day - 99.9% are not new questions

    Good list...

    I like the one that says "It's not camping if you don't have a fire"

  • Good list!

    Don't forget: "People only Wally-dock because they are Cheap Charlies"
  • +1 on all the above.

    On the other hand, (on the other hand I have warts) I have found very helpful and friendly people whereever we camp. I read some experiences here that differ, of course, and I expect some of the same. Just not so far.
