What do you spend more time thinking about?

[holstein13]

I just saw a great post by Shane Evans on the Xscapers Facebook page about the 10 things RVers spend thinking about more than regular folks. His list was good, but I think we can improve upon that. Here's my list:

1. Our neighbors and surroundings
2. Area / navigation / grocery locations
3. The weather
4. Sunrise and/or sunset
5. Fuel prices, Gas, diesel, and propane
6. Space saving items
7. What goes in and comes out of the toilet / black tank
8. Water consumption / storage
9. Energy management
10. Wi-fi / Cellular availability and quality

NOTE: I enjoy thinking about these things. For example, it makes me happy to find a collapsible fishing rod that works as well as a full sized fishing rod.

On virtually every post I write on this forum, one or more people will tell me to stop worrying. This post is not about worrying. I'm not worried at all about any of these items. I'm just wondering what are the things that we think about more than non-RVers. i.e, what makes us different?

Hmmmm..... let's see....

(1) How much beer is in the cooler
(2) Are the fish biting
(3) Do they sell beer on Sunday
(4) How much beer is in the cooler
(5) Are the fish biting
(6) Do they sell.... well as you can see, I just don't have much to worry about!

My Number 1 thought-

When out boondocking in the desert with acres and acres to park in, why somebody decides that their "perfect spot" is 100 feet from my camp and then they start up their loud generator!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

We also treat our Boxer as another member of the family. We wouldn't leave our kids behind. The same goes for Buster.
Guess that not worrying though is it?

We should be camping neighbors! We both think about dogs! Once you meet this little guy, you'll be in love! See you at the campground!

HA! Good topic.

Besides what every male thinks about & looks at there is:

Constant thinking about the next multi month trip.

What preventative maintenance needs to be done.

CGs to use & availability, since reservations are rarely made.

Will Murphy & his family be visiting on the nesxt trip? Hopefully not.

Weather, though nothing can be done about it so it is kind of pointless worrying about it.

We think about whether we will cook or go out to eat.

Lately I been thinking about, what is going to break on this trip out.

Here's the original list:

1. Our neighbors
2. Our surroundings
3. The weather
4. Sunrise and/or sunset
5. Gas prices
6. Gas mileage
7. Traffic
8. Water consumption/use
9. Electrical use
10. 4G/wi-fi availability

Where can I see another on of God's little critters. Love viewing all the animals.

I'm noticing a trend here.

Sunsets, no way, got up early all my life and there is no way I am getting up to look at a sunset.

Wow, you are early to bed, aren't you? I never go to bed before sunset so I see those all the time.

I'm not a fan of sunrises, however. If I'm watching a sunrise, it means I'm up too early or out too late. Neither is good.
