Met any celebrities RVing?
I read occasionally that celebrities or tv or movie stars enjoy the RV life. Even some Supreme Court Justices go RVing. I haven't met any. How about you?

While I have not met one yet RV'ing, while In Iraq doing Diplomatic Security I met Angela Jolie and spent 15 minutes bs'ing with Kidd Rock (real impressed with both of them), in Afghanistan I met Toby Keith (we had a little thing we do with friends - when they are heading home we sneak rocks in their bags to make them heavier - bet Toby is still wondering to this day what all those rocks were - did not get any pics with him :( - met twice with the Washington Redskin Cheerleaders. Met I think he was a pro football player (don't follow sports) who was in the Longest Yard remake who was the big African-American who played the simple minded muscle (the lurch role) on a flight from Dubai to DC - he was Enormous
My wife and I take a biker cruise called High Seas Rally - we got ripped with Indy race car driver Greg Gorden in Cozumel - (he helped us celebrate our oldest son's 18 Birthday at Margaritaville a few years ago - had to help each other back to the ship) and on this years cruise (Nov 2nd) we have Lee Greenwood joining us - have a Veterans Show honoring all those on the cruise who have served and play God Bless the USA - got a notice from the record company that we could not play it anymore unless we paid a royalty - one of the the regular cruisers knew someone who was friends with him - long story short when he found out he give us permission to play his song without paying and offered to perform live this year (Class Act)

As my children were growing up we were camping in Nebraska and the kids kept telling my wife about this older guy from TV thy had been talking to.
We went to thank him for putting up with the kids, it turned out to be Harlan Sanders of KFC Fame. Him and his wife were driving a big Cadillac, towing a big Airstream.
They were really nice people.

When living south of Nashville, I lived about 4 miles from Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Dean. They were known to run around in a motorhome incognito--without Dolly's wigs--when she took off from working. I would often see Carl's brother at the post office in the morning.
I don't know if you'd call riding in a $1-$2 million Prevost bus RV'ing, but there are about 200 such units registered in Nashville, Tennessee with automobile license plates. Tennessee doesn't have an ad valorem tax on RV's, which is a big saving. If you looked at all the rolling stock in parking lots at large rock concerts, you'll find many to have Tennessee RV's and heavy trucks/trailers.
And many of the NASCAR teams have one or two very expensive coaches.

I think Dolly needs to do something more than just take off her wig if she wants to go incognito!

It depends upon how you define the term celebrity. I have not met any movie stars or such but we made friends with a couple across from us when volunteers at a COE lake in north Texas and then discovered that the gentleman was Goldie Sellers and a member of the 74, Kansas City Chiefs, Superbowl champion football team. I even tried on his ring, but it was way too big! We found that we had a lot in common, including having been born just days apart!

My best experience was when Fats Domino insisted I pull over, he wanted to see my MCI7, he is a MCI Fan. We were north bound on I-95 NC, He was headed to Phila.
Very nice feller indeed.
Also met Charlie Daniels, also bus related, caused him to buy new bus with large engine.
