Things I don't understand

DW and I talk to everyone but I don't always get it...

One guy won't travel with any fresh water or anything in the waste tanks. No convenience of freshening up or having the bathroom?

Another guy shuts his propane tanks so he can only run six hours at a time before his fridge gets too warm. Won't drive with his tanks open. Also shuts them when he leaves the camper.

Another guy checks his tire pressure every morning. Every morning? Really?

Another checks his oil at every gas stop. I asked him how often he needs to add oil and he said he goes oil change to oil change without ever adding any.

Another guy unhitches even if he doesn't need his TV. Says its rediculous to keep all that extra weight on his truck.

Another guy won't put his slide out unless he's staying more than a day. He said every time he puts it out its one less time it will work.

I've met a number of people who won't do their business in their own toilet. They just don't want that in their tank.

  • I went with a buddy one time to look at a used TT. The owner said he couldn't open the slides for him since the jacks weren't down. :h
  • Another one for your list ...

    Quite a few, a friend of mine included, insist on using BAL X-Chocks and nothing else to chock the trailer and (they think) prevent it from inadvertently shifting or rolling away even though the manufacturer Norco includes a note with every box of X-Chocks warning to not rely on their X-Chocks as a "parking brake". I guess some just can't read. :S

  • Everybody has their idiosyncracies. It's like the guy who separates his food on his plate because he can't stand his corn touching his potatoes, or the guy who won't pee on a tree in the woods because he is afraid someone might see him commit a no-no. I reckon people just got their own ideas about things. As long as they don't bug me with it....:S
