LOL! And when you do find the suitcase, you realize you've completely forgotten the concept of "traveling light!"
(We took a week-long trip last month, the first trip in 3 years without the MH. When I saw all the clothes DW wanted to bring, I had to tell her we can't take it all. So she cut back a few items, we crammed in the rest, and she ended up wearing only about 1/2 of them.  )

X2 on whats a suitcase. Went back to Ontario on the train in March and DW asked what clothes I wanted to pack. M answer was I don't need to pack as they should already be in the RV.

You might be an RV'er if...
You DON'T like your friends new "Deer Camp" in Vermont, because they don't have room for your camper...
Actually, it is a beautiful place, WAAAAY back in the woods on slightly scary gravel roads. It is just a running joke between us, that my only "condition" on them buying a Deer Camp is/was that there would be room for me to visit with my camper!

After being on an extended trip, you sit on the throne and try to find the lever to flush it in your stick and brick home.

When you walk across the bathroom in your stick house... You wonder if you're getting too much exercise.

If talking of "hooking up" means plugging in the electric , fastening the water and sewer.

If you spend hours sitting around thinking up ways to modify the camper...or look around for ideas at campgrounds
If... you feel envious going to work and seeing a rig heading down the road...wishing it was you...even though you just got back from a trip 2 days ago.
Guilty, guilty and guilty again.......

if you refer to your RV with "she" and "her" instead of "the" and "it".
if you start to compare the steps needed to get to the bathroom in the rv with the house so you can rant about what a nuisance it is.
if when your friends come over to your home they know to check the rv if you don't answer the doorbell.
if you ever planned a "seduction" to get your best friends to take up rving with you. You ply them with fine wine, gourmet foods and then talk them into an rv shopping date.
if your dog has it's own drawer in your rig.
if you gave up rubber gloves when dumping the black water because when you took them off last time it snapped and "something" hit your face.
if you and your spouse have your own sign language for use during hooking up and packing up so you don't have to shout in the cg (learned this while anchoring the sailboat too).
if your normal speaking voice can be heard over a V-8 diesel.
if you know how to make creme brulee in a dutch oven.
if you spent more time picking out your zero-gravity lounger than you did your dining room set in the house.
Okay-I'll stop. Thanks for such a great thread. It makes a newbie like me feel right at home!!!
