1. If you take the top off them,
they make a very decorative dumpster.

2. And if you've accidentally discarded something....
you can locate it by looking in the window!

12. I have one I use for that...
Sometimes even that's too close and I set it up in a park away from the house. :P

4. Winnebago just laid off a lot of people
Sales have sucked for them. I don't see too many RV's like I used to in Florida these day.

10. When you're not running the air, those things are like ovens.
I'd rather sleep in a tent than in an RV that has no air.

But doesn't arwalden have a pop-up? We can all stay with him! :D

13. No shit, I live in an 8' x 30' travel trailer in Texas.
It gets hotter than hell in this thing when the AC cycles off. You can feel a distinct temperature increase within minutes of the AC cycling off - and no, opening the windows doesn't help, it just lets in dust, heat, humidity, and eau de Stinkadena. x(

15. Hi back atcha!
Sorry to read of your car problems. Maybe you can still make it to Crawford.

If I lived closer, I'd be right over for ham 'n' pintos - I'd even clean up the kitchen (and the rest of the house) afterwards!

I'm a horrible cook - I'd burn water.

7. No Shit! You could stay at the Ritz and eat like a king for less...
than what the gas would cost you for one day. Plus, you can flush the toilet at the Ritz. In an RV, you have to tend to the, um, nasty stuff yourself.

9. RVs and H2s - the stagecoaches of the future.
Just hitch up a team of draught horses and there ya go - plenty of room for passengers and cargo!
