How many times......
How many times have you read the specifications and amenities in the brochure or online listing of your new camper?
Thinking you might have missed something cool or interesting?
Guilty again tonight, we've owned the unit for 5 mo.
Cabin fever?

Still looking in the manual to see if I accidentally got the Kegerator option that I didn't know about...

That option was only possible with the toilet delete

When we factory ordered our Sabre I literally wore out the brochure during the wait time.

I am guilty, I also browse pics of last years camping to see what I could do different. I also have an irrational fear that my reservations will magically get canceled, so I log into reserve america every few days just "to check and make sure they are still there".

No sir, you are not. I religiously check, I always wake up early on the first day of the reservation window to get the coveted spots, I usually check weekly, if not twice weekly, until the day we are on the road headed to the campground.

My wife worries for me. My aptitude is: IT IS WHAT IT IS. Stuff happens and it will not ruin my day or retirement! On to the next adventure.
We do make reservations for when we travel but I am not stress about it. MY DW has to have the print out of the conformation number and the e-mail from the campground with her when she walks into their office.

finally people that speak my language. My wife thinks I am crazy. Few weeks back when we picked up our new unit the first thing I did that weekend was read through all the manuals that were provided. Just this last weekend I read them again but this time highlighted or marked important maintenance information. She looked at me cross eyed. She just doesn't understand that it is all for "her" benefit...right??
We also have a shared excel sheet that I have inputted all of our trips in...days, miles, cost...ect...
OCD...or Cabin Fever 
Ahh it's all the same to me and still just as fun... and happy camping everyone!

My DW keeps telling me to delete our first two 5er's excel spread sheets. They are now hidden in another folder.
