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 you find a place to camp free for a few weeks but the road is impossible with the RV due to slope changes. So you dig out the leveling blocks anyway then back up an inch at a time while keeping the rear bumper and hitch receiver right at 1/2" off the ground while hitting tree branches on both sides. Then once in, you realize it'll probably take a helicopter to get it out...of course there's the obligatory problem of having to back out almost 1/4 mile around curves with the trees scraping the sides and useless mirrors.

BTDT recently.

If...During the holday season, you are thinking more of winterizing your RV on time then of family get togethers.

If, when camping and a situation comes up, your answer is "the thread on RV.net says...."

Your RV is parked beside the house hooked up to electric and DW finds you sitting in it, leaned back in the recliner listening to the stereo, drinking a beer and dozing off. :B

I've been caught doing this. and my TT is completely hooked up to the house. Water (with filter) 30amp rv plug in weather proof box and 3" pvc sewer with threaded adapter for black/grey water hose.

The ultimate "dog house"

I like that one!

--If you are going weekend camping at a local campground, are meeting friends for breakfast and turn down the offer for a ride to the restaurant so that you can drive your MH just in case they want to see your "toy."

--And you actually think that non-campers will WANT to see your toy.

...if you install a dedicated 30A outlet in your garage for "shore power".

...if you bait the conversation to force people to ask about your RV.

...if you sit in the RV, scratching your brain on what next mod to perform.

...if you drive over an hour at lunch to your dealer to pick up "weatherstripping" and have to browse the racks while there.

and the most impactful to me:

...if you realize the RV is paid off, and the house isn't, is it really so bad if you stop making payments on the house? I mean, you've got a backup plan, right? I could always title the RV in another family member's name so they can't reposses that too, eh? And I only need to work enough to pay the fees at a CG. Heck! I could work at Walmart AND park/live there too! Perfect. :B

You might be a fulltime RVr in training if-

your weekends are known between the two of you as ON or OFF.
