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!

You tell your wife that you read thru 90+ pages of gadgets, gizmos, etc on RV.net and got some great ideas for the trailer, and she gives you the roll of her eyes and a "Oh, no" expression! 🙂

Keep 'em comin'!

GUILTY as charged:B

If your DW or DH finds you sitting in front of the computer and asks "Whatchadoin?" and your response is " shopping" and your on a rv supply website.

You have at least six online RV parts and campground sites in your favorites.

You live in the upper Midwest, your DW starts talking about going 3 hours down the road to spend Christmas at her brother's farmhouse, and you start thinking "If there's not too much snow on the ground, we can tow the TT and park it in the backyard..." And somehow that sounds perfectly logical rather than sleeping in a warm house with functional plumbing.

Note, that was one thought I never even bothered voicing!

You watch the "Christmas Vacation" scene when Cousin Eddy is dumping his holding tanks into the sewage and you think to yourself, "That stuff is coming out of there pretty fast. He HAS to have a macerator pump!" It gets me every time.

You're ECSTATIC that diesel is DOWN to $3 a gallon. :E

...if visiting family they offer you a comfortable bed in an air conditioned house and you politely decline and go sleep in the RV outside without AC (low fuel and their 15A breakers keep tripping if you turn it on) in the Texas summer because the house is just so wrong.

...if you are offered a house with no upkeep or payments or other people and turn it down because you'd rather stay in your RV in the winter in Colorado.

You're definitely a fulltimer if both of the above situations make perfect sense to you.

LOL - that is me!

You might be an RV'er if... you can't stand the smoke from your neighbour's BBQ blowing into your house, but you don't care if the smoke from your 5 CG neighbours' campfires blow into the TT.

And you are usually right!

. . . you know what a "johnny chock" is, and can say it without laughing.

You see a RV 3 miles ahead of you on the interstate and you speed up to 80 so you can see it up close.

You get back home and your wife asks you to shave after the fifth day.

You pass an RV on the road and in 5 seconds you determine the length of the rig and the tow rating of the tv.

You read 35 pages of a forum when you should be working.

If prior to check out of your campsite, you re-aquaint yourself with the corn-on-the-cob you had four days ago.

"I hope some of you use the clear pipe sectional when dumping tanks...maybe you'll get it.
