Beside politicians, there aren't many folks that have more opinions than RV'ers...and we love to talk (brag) about our rigs and trucks.

I would first SELECT the one I wanted (exact year model too), THEN I would look for the same model, and ASK all the questions about THAT one.

YES, I would tell you about MINE, and why I bought it, AND what I do NOT like about it.

If you rode a bike up to my campsite while I was sitting there around the camp fire and started asking me questions about my rig you better be prepared to have a seat, kick up your feet, accept the drink I offer and start asking away!

I (as are most RV owners) am happy to show off my rig and point out all the little quirks that made me decide on that particular unit. I will be even more thrilled to show off the stuff I did to make it unique... more user friendly... and just plain mine! Things like extra cabinets, extra storage bins, brackets, buckles, hooks and hangers will all be on the list of things you will be required to admire!!

I will tell it like it is. The good, the bad and the ugly. I will even tell you all about how the selling dealer treated me and what they did whenever I had a problem.

If you are still at my campsite when we break out the chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers you will not leave without smores!


I ride it like I stole it!
.......and I just may have.......

I'm on "CB-13", are you?

Though the vast majority of RVers would love to have you stop by and visit and ask away, a good RV park would not allow it. We have security and privacy concerns and do not allow anyone who is not a guest to wander around our parks unescorted.

You could tent camp in a park that allows it. That would get you 'in'. I think most KOAs allow tents and certainly most public parks have plenty of RV visitors.

I love to talk to people about my RV and often wander through a park I am in and see if there are any outfits I would like info on and I ask about them . No one has ever said "no go away" I would sugest that you not ask as someone is setting up or taking down, that is when mistakes can be made that can be very upsetting .

Good point. I see that happen a lot, too.

I have had many people either walk up or even knock on my door asking about my unit. Most of the time, they go to the office, find out who the fulltimers are and seek them out. If its a weekender, they do the same .

It sure dont bother me, unless Im doing something that cant be dropped at a moments notice.

I would be happy to talk about rigs. I can tell more than you ever wanted to hear...and some of it may even be correct.

Would not mind it at all. In fact, it's a good way to get invited to dinner
