See Ya' Down The Road

Art Linkletter loved to talk with children and he wrote a top selling book, "Kids Say The Darndest Things!" Children are candid and say funny things and Art made a living talking to them. Well, RVers say the darndest things and ask the darndest questions. At a recent RVing seminar a woman asked the speaker if people wear pajamas when overnighting in a Wal*Mart parking lot, and the speaker replied he has not worn pajamas since he graduated from high school. Others spoke up and said they wear their normal street clothes when overnighting so they can jump up and drive away in their motorhomes. Heck, we take showers at Wal*Mart parking lots and never thought that is unusal. At another seminar a motorhome owner asked if anyone knew where his batteries were located. He had been fulltiming in a Pace Arrow motorhome and wanted to check his batteries, but didn't know where to look for them. The speaker asked if this was a real question or a joke. Several RV owners said they didn't know if they had an inverter and had never tried turning on their television without shorepower. One woman asked if she would need a television in her RV and asked for opinions of other campers. I wondered why she would ask such a dumb question. If you want a TV or not is a personal decision. Several RV owners have said they will "never" drink water from their fresh water holding tank because it is nasty water. If it is filled with city water it is the same as drinking water from a faucet in a house same as putting water from a kitchen faucet in a pitcher and then drinking it. Lastly, we recently met a couple who had traded for a new motorhome six months earlier. They said they stopped at a RV dealer, went inside and picked one they liked and bought it. Only when they were driving it off the dealer's lot did they realize it had four slideouts. RVers are truly amazing. |
