Okay...someone tell me I'm not weird!!
Sometimes I worry about myself because my love of TTs seems a bit overboard. So, confession time... I speed up when I see a TT on the road so I can get close and check it out. When going camping...

I don't think everyone views their physical things with obsession. If one does, they don't fully understand the true value of life / living...
If one ever sees a kid fight cancer for 3 years or recovers from open heart surgery or recovers from 12" of spinal fusion surgery, one realizes that physical items like "RV boxes", houses, boats, motorcycles, vehicles is nothing. Nothing but a physical tool - compared against the true value of life / living.
At the end of one's old age life and one remembers back in time, will they remember their physical things (like red car or boat or RV)? Or, will they remember playing on the beach with others, having fun around the campfire with others or that special kid who fought tooth/nail to remain on this side of the ground??? In life, I choose to remember the people around me (the things that matter in life) - not the physical things I use, then throw away a few short years later..
Sorry but from my perspective as a cancer survivor - Leukemia, your observations are misguided. Obsession most likely is the wrong word for the people on this thread. More like passion. Yes, in my old age, I'll remember the physical things in my life - my TT's, my 56 Chevy, motorcycle, the list goes on. All those things were present and helped create the memories. I don't dwell on the suffering I endured during my illness, I celebrate the fact that I'm still here to experience joy with my family and the stuff I have plays a big part in those experiences.
And yes, I do speed up on the highway to check out TT's being towed, I look at the TT's I see comming from the opposite direction, I stare at my TT after washing and waxing it, I walk around the campground looking at TT's - heck, I even drove aroung the storage lot last night after checking on mine - my son loves looking too. I also like observing things like my nice clean house after pressure washing the entire thing, and the walls and trim I have recently painted within.
