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 have a box in the basement storage of your RV marked "Christmas decorations".


You've also got a box marked "Halloween Decorations" "4th of July Decorations", and then the box with the rest of the year decorations ๐Ÿ™‚

Love this thread!!

You also might be a RV'er if you built $36K worth of garage and concrete for a $20K camper. (Well the John Deere Tractor also goes in there ๐Ÿ™‚

Sorry if some are do-overs. I havn't had time to read them all yet.
Know more campers by first name in one day than at home afer years.
Know more about tires than all neighbors put together.
Don't understand why teens talk about hooking-up.
Worry about fire bans on vacation.
Own a "stick" home.
Carry tools on vacation.

This is my favorite so far...LOL

PS Does it really matter if the dogs sleep under the house or in it?
There's no place like home; that's why we take ours with us :B

If we had thunderstorms in CA that would be something my DH would do!


Heck yeah, my neighbor was concered about me when I was camping a couple years ago, we had some bad storms roll in, and we had no power at home, and I was 8 miles away at the campground where I had power, and she wanted me to come home, and I'm like "I"ll just stay here where I have power" LOL
