Now in defense of some Newbies, I've watched "Full timers" take up to 45 minutes trying to get trailer on the spot. Driving off the side...off the back...Jackknifed...you get the idea.

Must be full timers who don't move campgrounds very much?

One I've seen had the USA map on the side, with only about 3 states not covered. Figure they traveled a lot...or really old map.

So true - I see this almost every time we're on the road, towing or not. And, I've passed a few of them down the road as they're pulling out a spare and trying to figure out how to jack their trailer up.

You spend more time cleaning your RV than your house.

Driving down the highway you point out all the trucks that need their wdh readjusted (or they just plain need one) because their truck isn't sitting level.

You look at smaller vehicles towing trailers of any kind and think those poor souls have too much trailer for the TV.

Yes! My son and I are always saying to each other......" How in the world are they pulling that trailer? They are WAY over weight!"

You REALLY know you are a RV'er when...

You sit down at the Rally Breakfast potluck and engage in a spirited discussion of Black tank maintenance, how to remedy the dreaded pyramid of poo, what enzyme best liquefies TP and solid waste, and arguing with the guy who puts his used TP in the trash can....

Never missing a beat, and, all the while eating a breakfast consisting of eggs, and biscuits covered with brown sausage gravy.

Clear out one poo pyramid while you work on the next.

Efficient.

Wow! I think I'd give up and go home.

Being super picky, or super tight, or super can't-back-up?

...or worry more about the RV than you do the house....

or when a storm comes through and you lose sleep over the trailer and not as much on the house
