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!

Great Stuff.


.......if while driving your car, you see a Jeep tailgating you in the rear view mirror, and you just smile and sigh.

......if you park at the outermost edge of the shopping center parking lot, taking up 5 spots ...... and you're driving a Geo Metro.

......if you start adding up how many watts your TV, coffee pot, toaster, hair dryer, microwave, etc. uses. ......... In your SB HOUSE.

......if your boondocking spot is determined by the dog's favorite bush.

......if you have the mobile RV service on speed dial. (In 16 states)

......if your basement storage is cataloged by weight, type and use. But the inside of your garage looks like a tornado hit it. (Guilty)

If at the campground, people come from all around to eat your food, but while at home, people run when you start cooking.

1. If you feel you don't need gloves when dumping the rv tanks.

2. If you wipe your nose after the dump spill and don't really smell anything nasty on your hand.Dog wont have anything to do with you til you clean up. Wife rdes in the back of the MH.

3.If you are up at daybreak and do not understand why.

. . . while watching the news at home, radar shows a band of storms headed your way, so you dash out to the back yard to sleep in the camper.

you are a RVer if you...

...have sold a second home because you don't want to be "tied to one spot"

...have sold the First home for the same reason! LOL

..told people you are selling your home and not had an answer when they ask you where you are moving to!

...or answered, " well, first we are stopping in..."

...ever been asked "where are you from?" and answered "When?"

if your dogs are more well traveled than most people.

if BLM and NF numbers are in speed dial

if you've ever stood with one hand on a faucet yelling "how's the pressure now?"

if you've ever made a pigtail while sitting in traffic

if you no longer need road maps to travel from anywhere to anywhere in the 48

if National Parks employees invite you to family get togethers...yearly!

if a 5 day trip is a 10 day trip because you keep saying, "we can't go through here without saying hello..."
When Seconds count, the cops are only Minutes away!

. . . you keep a 1-pound can of coffee in the house, and a 3-pounder in the trailer.

If when looking to buy a house the number one priority is... Does it have parking for the RV?

If not is the driveway on the right side of the house.


Or have considered buying land and building a large garage for the rv, truck and car and having an apartment in it to live in.

But then drive to the next state because their state parks are only $18 a night!

Ha Ha Ha.. Holy Cow, you guys are soo funny and I'm relating to about 99% of this very funny stuff.
- if you get a set of two way radios to help with the trailer parking (backing up) but you soon start using them to stay in communication with your D.H. while you shop like crazy at an outlet mall - he's in the trailer playing the guitar with the D.D. (dear dog) in the parking lot and radios once in a while to make sure you're not spending too much money.

OH yea. And he is only 6 pounds. As soon as the MH comes to the front of the house and the door opens he jumps inside and sets in the passanger chair ready to go.

โ€ฆif, after moving to a new location, you find a screw on the floor and have no idea where it came from

โ€ฆif the most exciting thing about switching from analog to digital TV was the reduction in weight

โ€ฆif your โ€œofficeโ€ is a shoebox full of pens, markers, scissors, tape, rubber bands, and postage stamps

โ€ฆif a busy day consists of sightseeing followed by a board game and a DVD

โ€ฆif you keep a step stool in the tow vehicle so you can reach the windshield and the oil dipstick

At home your dogs sleep in the den and in the RV they sleep with you.
