You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .

[justALnow]

As a takeoff on Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck" bit, here's a few thoughts that have popped into my mind. I will admit to being guilty of SOME of these!

You MIGHT be an RV'r if. . .

. . . the Camping World Master Catalog arrives and you lock yourself in the bathroom for an hour with a cordless phone and your VISA card.

. . . when someone asks how many people can sleep in your RV, you and your spouse answer in unison, "JUST TWO!"

. . . you could re-plumb, or re-wire your RV blindfolded, but if the dishwasher in your house quits, you tell your wife to call somebody.

. . . the sheets, towels, and small appliances in your RV are all brand new and color co-ordinated, but in your house it's the same stuff you bought at garage sales when you first got married.

. . . you're not at Camping World within 10 minutes of opening on Saturday morning, and they call your house to see if you're OK.

. . . at home it's Pop Tarts, hot dogs, grilled cheese, and leftovers, but in the CG it's full breakfasts, porterhouse, boiled shrimp, and fresh sweetcorn.


OK, folks, let's hear some more!

Yup. The one in the house is an old "super single" waterbed frame - just 48" wide. The motor home has the queen.

If you ever went to the store to buy some pvc pipe to make a sewer hose holder, a clothing rack for your bumper and a toy you can play outside with the neighbors.............now just how do you get them strings through those golf balls?

. . .you go to swanky-a** cocktail party, and all you can talk about are your new "E" rated tires.

...When the hosts at your favorite campground know you by name.

This is so true, except it isn't 2 days later. I feel twinges of envy as I drive out of the CG and see others driving in!

You refer to going home as making a pit stop.

if
You wash that huge thing you drive to work almost every day.

[justALnow]

. . . when your wife says you are going to your grandaughter's birthday on a Sunday (fifteen miles away), and your first thought is, "Ooooo, we could take the camper on Saturday night and make a weekend of it."

...If your best friend is redoing his back yard and has made plans to put a FHU in there for your visits.
...if your garden is all in pots that your DH has to move into and out of the fiver at every stop.
...if you have a stack of maps from everywhere you've been that you won't get rid of because you might go back there again.

[justALnow]

. . . you love the smell of burning diesel fuel in the morning.

if... the first picture you take when you get somewhere is of your camper.
if... you need GPS guidance to get somewhere you've driven a hundred times.
if... you have 2 mapping software programs and a Walmart Atlas.
if... the waypoint you have loaded into your GPS is at the lake.

....If your grown kids have FHU sites in their back yard but do not own an RV.

You study all the license plates on other RV's as you go down the road to see who else "lives" in South Dakota! 🙂

OMG! I do that! I do that! I'm camped right next to another "South Dakotan" right now!

I hope to be "home" soon. It is so embarrassing when someone asks me questions about my legal domicile and I have no clue. :W

[justALnow]

. . . you never complain about how the tourists drive, because you're always the tourist.

. . . you know water weighs 8 1/2 pounds per gallon.

If..you have basement storage in the RV and not at your house.

If..you have a satellite dish on the roof of the RV and not at your house.

If..your Mother's Day gift is a 9X12ft RV mat.

If..the dog whines to be let in the side door of the rig parked out front instead of back into the house after a walk.

[Your_Old_Dog]

If you have HIDefinition TV in the RV but not in the house.

If you don't mind fooling with things called black water and don't even gag.

If you have a Queen sized bed in the RV and Full size at home.
