Why We RV

Random RV Thought

With many of the possessions of our lives, the expectation of acquiring the object is often more exciting than the product itself.

Whether it's a new camera, dress or home sprinkler system, we dream about the item and how it will enhance our life. But usually, once acquired, the product soon becomes just another possession.

That's not true with an RV, which continues to captivate most owners for years and years. Perhaps it's because an RV is more than a "thing." It's a magic carpet that takes us on grand, memorable adventures. Anyone who has traveled with their small children in an RV and then had to sell the RV years later can come to tears seeing the RV drive away with all its memories. An elderly couple, too old to travel anymore, will likely feel the same.

RVs provide an ongoing source of wonder to those who own them. And unlike most of the miscellany in our lives, the passion an owner feels for an RV rarely dims.

  1. Much of that is true about motorcycle and motorcyclists, too!

  2. Keski, you are absolutely correct. Used to have a Gold Wing, travels all over the west and up to BC once. Nothing but fond memories and never had a problem. Funny how things change....I used to curse RVs, wondering why they were even on the road, slowing people down who had places to go. Now I are one!

    And Todd, you are right on, I'm a lazy butt for sure!

  4. Mike, is craigslist the best place to get the best RV at the lowest cost? Or do you know of other, better, resources?

  5. Craiglist is a good resource for pricing purposes, but you might want to check out www.RV.net as it offers more listings. Private sellers and dealers. Lots of research material. It's a buyer's market, that is for sure!
