I regularly turn onto side roads without swinging wide at all where small cars nearly get taken out by oncoming traffic because they swing halfway into the next lane...and I don't even at 41ft long with the trailer.355Views0likes0CommentsRe: You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .
If a tourist ask you where you live and you point at your RV. Then they ask where you're from and you say here for the moment. Then they get frustrated and insist on knowing which town your from as in a permanent city..then you roll your eyes because you know you're talking to a wall. They're just not going to get it no matter how many easy to understand small words you use. If a state campground needs your fixed address for their computer and you give them your license plate number. Then they want your real address so you give them the camp site number and campground they just issued to you for the stay. Then they look at you like you're crazy. You say "fulltimer." They suddenly comprehend and say "oh I understand now" and proceed to type something mysterious into the computer.492Views0likes0CommentsRe: You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .
...if visiting family they offer you a comfortable bed in an air conditioned house and you politely decline and go sleep in the RV outside without AC (low fuel and their 15A breakers keep tripping if you turn it on) in the Texas summer because the house is just so wrong. ...if you are offered a house with no upkeep or payments or other people and turn it down because you'd rather stay in your RV in the winter in Colorado. You're definitely a fulltimer if both of the above situations make perfect sense to you.420Views0likes0CommentsRe: You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .
...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.420Views0likes0CommentsRe: You MIGHT be an RV'r if . . .
...if indoor temperatures of 60F in the day and 50F at night is considered pleasantly warm. ...if house people are in a panic going to the store for survival rations for the upcoming snow storm and you don't think a thing about the weather. ...if you always reach for the pump switch before turning the water faucet on. ...if you can't figure out how to flush a house toilet then once you figure it out, you consider the hand lever thing very unsanitary. ...if you think any living accommodation with more than 200 sq ft would be insanely big and you can't figure out why anyone would want that much room in the first place. ...if you know what phase the moon is in at anytime of the month. ...if you can't sleep at night unless the house rocks a little in the wind.468Views0likes0Comments
