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!

LOL! Love that part. I'm with her. Even doing dishes by hand is fun - when you are RV'ing!

Yikes! It looks like this thread has revived itself!

Here's a couple I can add after our summer trip:

. . . you discover that cruising along in the right-hand lane at 63mph is kinda relaxing.

. . . no matter what breaks, your diagnosis is this -

1- Turn it off, turn it back on.
2- Unplug it, plug it back in.
3- Spray it with WD-40.

You might be a camper if......you wake up in the middle of the night and walk around the block before going to the bathroom....

or.....you call city hall to have several trees trimmed before you bring your new MH down the street.....yes I really did that!

...your idea of roughing it is when you can't run the slides and jacks down for the night because you're boondocking it at Wal-Mart.

...the wallpaper on your cell phone is a picture of your RV.

...you absolutely HATE driving through rain because all you can think about is the amount of work it's going to take washing away all the road grime for the third time since you left home.

...you drive your everyday car around and hesitate to pull into places because you're always thinking about getting trapped by your 4-wheel down toad before you remember that you're NOT in the MH.

...you actually know what 'MH' stands for in the previous statement.

...the steering wheel twists out of your hands every time you unsuccessfully attempt to pass up either a WM or CW.

...you know what 'WM' and 'CW' stands for.

...you start reading Motorhome magazine even while still walking back from the mailbox across the road, tripping over the stone steps in the yard all the way back to the house.

...you stop at the same WM on the way back home from a camping trip, instead of just shopping at the local one.

...you stop for the night at a WM parking lot, go shopping in the evening, then spend yet ANOTHER hour shopping in the morning before moving on.

...the absolute minimum time spent in either a WM or CW is one hour, even if you only need two items.

...you have actually unscrewed the water hose, unplugged the electric cord, and rolled up sewer hoses so you can move to another campsite because your Tracvision can't acquire the satellite.

"blue stuff" and "pink stuff" takes on a whole new meaning

if....
your you take your dog out the front door (instead of the back) and it automatically runs to the TV

if....
you look for something for 3 days only to find it on the next camping trip

if....
you stay up all night before a trip to wax the TV because "It has to be clean when we get there"

...if the matress in the camper is a brand new Select Comfort Sleep Number...and the one at home is from the 80's.

...if you need cups, napkins and paper plates for the Father's Day picnic, and the kitchen cupboards are bare..but the camper is fully stocked and saves the day.

...if your husband starts sleeping in the camper because it's been too long between trips...and he takes the dog with him. :R

...if your kids are buying their first house and you stipulate that their driveway MUST be at least 39 feet long! (and thankfully it is). :B

...if you owned your first motorhome for two months, the second one for two years...and then bought a third! :E

...if you have all kinds of new friends that you've made through RV.net rallies.
