I can appreciate the part about keeping your rig looking good, but not the part about what others think. Who cares, enjoy yourself. When we bought our rig two years ago I completely buffed and waxed it, polished all the metal, replaced the white vinyl inserts, and painted the mirros white again after some slight yellowing. My wife thought I was crazy to do that much work, but I like to take pride in the condition of it.We were at the Nashville KOA in June in our 10 year old Class C , the place was full of very fancy coaches. I was in awe, I love looking at them. The wife and I hiked over to the two dealers next to the KOA and checked a few out....guess what, not our style at all. We are pretty simple people (I just know there is a joke somewhere in that statement...so fire away LOL), our RV is just fine for us. Anyway, I enjoyed walking around and checking out the million dollar rigs, but never did we feel inadequate. The people we met all seemed pretty nice. My grandfather taught me many years ago that possessions do not make a man. Since then I've known a few millionaires that were the nicest salt of the earth people you'd ever met and also some real nasty people with debt to their eyelids trying to make an appearance. Just enjoy yourselves.
