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!

Your family plays the "Camper game" -- While traveling, see who can spot the most campers on the highway. Camper Dealers do NOT count! (although it can be funny to count all the campers in a parking lot when going by at 65mph) Usually the driver wins - assuming the driver is paying attention to the traffic ahead...

I can drive thousands of miles & not see another Alpenlite.

Yep - and when you do see one (in our case an Award) you screech - "Did you see that?" I think we've only seen 2 on the road - one on I-90 and one on Skyline Drive - always going the other way. :R

LOL...Mine is a 3 foot long 1" dowel rod that sits in the toilet brush holder. With that in mind....

If when at the RV show you find more people asking you questions than they are the Factory Rep.

When you come home, you try to open the door with the coach key fob and can't understand why there is no beep and the door doesn't open.

[musicman54]

if you come home and hang up your house keys and leave rv keys in your pocket

You might be an RVer if you can honestly say, "I took a shower in a WalMart parking lot...and no one noticed".

... you tell your buddies you are going out for the weekend... and your weekend starts on a tuesday!

If your teenage daughter walks into Camping World and spends 15 minutes "just looking" in the sewer hose aisle.

The funny part is that I'm a single mom and she's my only child - and I always do the sewer hook-up. We really don't wanna be 10 minutes late to a new improvement in this particular area it seems. 🙂
