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!

When you walk across the bathroom in your stick house... You wonder if you're getting too much exercise. :B

You might be an RV'er if...

You DON'T like your friends new "Deer Camp" in Vermont, because they don't have room for your camper...

Actually, it is a beautiful place, WAAAAY back in the woods on slightly scary gravel roads. It is just a running joke between us, that my only "condition" on them buying a Deer Camp is/was that there would be room for me to visit with my camper!

X2 on whats a suitcase. Went back to Ontario on the train in March and DW asked what clothes I wanted to pack. M answer was I don't need to pack as they should already be in the RV.

LOL! And when you do find the suitcase, you realize you've completely forgotten the concept of "traveling light!"

(We took a week-long trip last month, the first trip in 3 years without the MH. When I saw all the clothes DW wanted to bring, I had to tell her we can't take it all. So she cut back a few items, we crammed in the rest, and she ended up wearing only about 1/2 of them. :R)

I did this exact thing this past weekend. Told DH that I have some rice in the 5er. Went out and got it. Like going to a store! I have more "good" groceries out there than I do in the house! LOL
