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!

Now that just sounds too kinky for a family oriented site like this! :B

if... you check the calendar to see how many times in the school year you can go camping on a Thursday before you run the risk of the kids being left back a year for too many absences.

You look forward to trips to Walmart so you can browse the RV/camping section AND check out any rv's in the parking lot.

If----you bought another truck to pull your 5th wheel even though you already have a truck that does the job fine, just because the newer truck is more comfortable and looks nicer pulling into the campground and you still kept the first truck.


Just upgraded from a 1992 F250 to a 2000 F350 Lariat Le V10, DRW and 4-wheel drive just because it was more comfortable to pull the 5th wheel. We really have no other reason to have the truck other than to tow the camper!

If... you feel a need to explain to people its not just for rednecks

If... the only time you wax your truck is for a camping trip

If... your tired of explaining what that thing is in the bed of your truck

You have 5 vehicles in your yard and the only one that drives is your house!

Or being a contract project manager with a liquidation company, making arrangements to work the lousy weather and be off during the summer and camping weather. (A situation I actually am in. Campground host for the month of August plus camping 4 other weeks in other places)

The first actually happened this morning in my office.
