Don't wear a hard hat but I am constantly amazed by advice on what to check with electrical or plumbing problems...I'll skip the wishful thinking folks.

I might think that while it may be good in space, the cumulative effect of any residual radiation would not be a good thing in highly populated areas...

Personally, I believe a hydrogen cell technology makes more sense than one based on atomic delay...

We like watching the people that when they break camp use rubber gloves, tongs, and are totally hygienic expecting to catch something. Guess they never heard of washing afterwards. Of course all of us have a good poop story.

People in cars who'll drive a fraction of a second off our rear bumper for miles then refuse to pass on a section of straightaway with perfectly safe, legal passing. They truly amaze me.

It amazes me the looks I get when I tell people who ask, that I have no idea how much it costs to fill my gas tank.

Because I have never looked at the pump when putting the nozzle back..

I told my son when I bought this thing to go to as many races as we could. " If I EVER complain about gas costs. Make me put a for sale sign in it the very next day."

Why non RV people always ask about gas mileage. I tell them it gets from full to empty.

It amazes me that people who have experience with cheap, poorly built RV's automatically assume that ALL RV's with similar features suffer from the same problems!

Current examples would include dual pane windows and fresh water tanks falling out of RV's if more than water vapor is present in tank during travel!

How many men assume that men do all the driving, maintenance, and purchasing for the family RV. Fellas, this is 2018 and if you would look past your antiquated thoughts you might notice there are women stepping out of the driver's door, setting up camp, flushing the black tank, and even starting your most sacred campfires.

We were pulling our old 40' Montana along some interstate. Behind me for the last 10 miles was a blonde in a Honda car riding our trailer rear by about 2'. As we passed an exist she passed us got in front, slammed on her brakes, drove through the gore area and exited. Locked 'em up, fiver tried to pass fishtailing to the left, hit the gas. Almost turned her into a wheel cover.
