You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .

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 choice of taking the RV on vacation as opposed to a 4-star hotel is not met with ANY objection...

If. . .

you have fallen out of your "house" due to the steep incline you didn't notice last night when pulling in

you buy a Kindle because it is a "space saver"

you buy a state sticker map and question whether "driving through" qualifies for a sticker or if it is considered cheating

you ask Amy Vanderbilt to address "dump station etiquette"

if you refer to your RV with "she" and "her" instead of "the" and "it".

if you start to compare the steps needed to get to the bathroom in the rv with the house so you can rant about what a nuisance it is.

if when your friends come over to your home they know to check the rv if you don't answer the doorbell.

if you ever planned a "seduction" to get your best friends to take up rving with you. You ply them with fine wine, gourmet foods and then talk them into an rv shopping date.

if your dog has it's own drawer in your rig.

if you gave up rubber gloves when dumping the black water because when you took them off last time it snapped and "something" hit your face.

if you and your spouse have your own sign language for use during hooking up and packing up so you don't have to shout in the cg (learned this while anchoring the sailboat too).

if your normal speaking voice can be heard over a V-8 diesel.

if you know how to make creme brulee in a dutch oven.

if you spent more time picking out your zero-gravity lounger than you did your dining room set in the house.

Okay-I'll stop. Thanks for such a great thread. It makes a newbie like me feel right at home!!!

If ...the first thing you and the DW/DH do after setting up is walk through the campground and look for a great spot to reserve for the next trip

If you spend hours sitting around thinking up ways to modify the camper...or look around for ideas at campgrounds

If... you feel envious going to work and seeing a rig heading down the road...wishing it was you...even though you just got back from a trip 2 days ago.


Guilty, guilty and guilty again.......:B

....when your 4 year old can tell you if the TT you just passed was using a WD hitch or not and what the brand of 5er was going the other way.......he hasn't been listening to dad at all.......:E

If talking of "hooking up" means plugging in the electric , fastening the water and sewer.
