RV rule of thumb #27. Replace tires every 5 years, whether the trailer is being used or not... Might as well get some use outa the tires

We don't "camp" anymore. We travel and snowbird. We use the RVs because we like it plus the above reasons.

Top #1 reason we RV despite the fuel prices:
To make everyone who already thinks we're weird KNOW we're weird !
#2:
To make everyone think we're rich (hee, hee - it's CHEAPER!)
#3:
To let everyone say: (I KNEW they were trailer trash!)
#4:
To tick everyone off that thinks they have to stay put!
#5:
To roast weiner's over an open campfire
#6:
To attend DOG'S (Dutch Oven Groups)
#7:
To keep our cat at home - he can travel better this way instead of Tom-catting at night.
#8:
Eating out has a whole new meaning
#9:
So the neighbors don't know what we're doing
#10:
FREEDOM!
