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!

if...you have your TT and TV serviced before every trip but don't change the oil in your everyday vehicle for three years

if...you buy a new TT and then have to go and buy a new TV to match the color because the old TV matched the old TT

if...you plan your camping trips for the next 5 years

if...everytime you get a cool spell (meaning below 90 degrees) you start longing for that autumn trip

.....if when looking for a new house, the first priority is good RV parking.

........ if you walk your dog, who doesn't need to go, just so you can check out that really big RV down the row.

.........you complain about having to pack in a suitcase and forget half the items you need when not traveling in the RV.

Here is a few from a Toyhaulers perspective.

If ...... Your brother couldn't find your camp site , because he could not believe you pulled a 30' 5er down a trail that he didn't even think was a trail. And had trouble getting his van up the hill. "Dude I thought it was only a pull out!" " I didn't even see a trail ! " He said.

If ..... You are tempted to go to the MX track in the RV , butt know you won't get any laps in if you do..... Also applies to a day in the desert.....................

If .... you got an 18v chain saw from you mother in law for Xmas ..... and plan to use it to get to cool spots ............

If ...... you wash your 5er and TV while still connected .... and you are going out to the desert.....


A little variation

You know your a Toyhauler
if .... you want to load up the bikes even if your just visiting family , just in case you find a new riding spot.

If ..... after buying your first toyhauler you start to want a sandrail or samurai or rhino just because you have room for one ........ This was surprising to me?

If .... only half of the basement is for chairs and BBQs (RV stuff) and the other half is for your toolbox parts crate , gearbag and tire inflater ( Dirtbike stuff) .

If ..... you build a basement slide out with room for a table underneath because their is no picknick table where you camp .
Everybody going faster than me is a "Maniac".
Everybody going slower than me is a "Idiot".
Don't they know I'M going the right speed.....LOL

if you look in the rear view mirror of your minivan to see if the 5'er is clearing the bridge.

if you make wide turns in your minivan

if your favorite reading material is ANYTHING with RV or camping in the title and you fight over who's going to read it first.

if the eyes of your acquaintances roll everytime you mention full-timing.

if the eyes of your friends light up when you mention full timing.

if you enjoy researching RV's after you've already bought yours.

And I could go on and on and on....
