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!

if your rv cost more then your house

Thats too funny. We set up our 5'er payment as a second mortage. When we sold the house to become fulltime RV'ers we used the proceeds to pay down the "new" house according to the tax laws...

Contemplate? She did give me cast iron (and not up side the head) And I was happy!!!

You might be an RVer if:

You have been to a Wal-mart and never stepped inside the store.

You happily wake up at 5 AM to quietly make coffee in a 30 year old peculator, on a 40 year old Coleman stove, while it is 20 degrees, just to listen to the sounds of the springtime birds.

You know what a sailswitch is.

Your kids ask to sleep in 'camp driveway.'

You have ever contemplated giving your spouse cast iron for Christmas.

You use an old fishing pole to unclog the toilet

You hold off buying staples late in the year because you know you'll be bringing in the items when you winterize the rig.

How about if you run out of oil or sugar and you walk over to the RV instead of going to the store

We've been doing this all fall:o

We spent four years looking for our current house. The first step when getting an address was to get on Google Earth and check out the overhead pictures. If it looked like there might be room to maneuver and park the MH, then we did a drive by. If it still looked like there was room, then we would ask our agent for a visit. We crossed off most of the candidates because there was no room for the MH. All other considerations were secondary. I guess we might actually be RVers...

Absolutely! Would never consider buying a house if I couldn't do the 'scoop' in the street!

If you choose your next home based on whether or not you can park your rig in the side yard...

Currently house shopping and RV parking is near the top of my list!

"Number of bedrooms and bathrooms? Don't care. But exactly how wide is that gate over there?"

... if you struggle to remember important dates (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.), but know the tank capacities of every RV on the road.

If you swore to NEVER step foot inside a Walmart . . . until you learned they have an RV section.

. . . you take a week's vacation to work on your house and spend the first 4 days cleaning, polishing, repairing, modifying, and doing maintenance on your camper.

If the only Lucille Ball movie you can recall is "The Long Long Trailer"... you might be an RVer.

When you can IDENTIFY yourself with Lucy in "The Long Long Trailer" than you're an RV'r.

I've had my mother on trips, and she's hidden rocks for example. :B

If you have gone and bought 8 DVD's of this movie to give to your Rv'ing buddies to enjoy..
