campground - a place designed to put people not used to hearing their neighbors televisions (apartment dwellers) to live within 5 feet of each other.

RV Salesman: Someone who has never been camping in their entire life.
RV Systems Inspection Sheet: Piece of paper that the rv tech makes check marks on while taking a smoke break. He may even get around to pulling the RV into the service bay before you arrive to pick it up.
Cold Beer: Unknown item in many RV fridges.
Warm Beer: Look in the fridge.
Payment Book: A gift from your bank you receieve 30 days after visiting an RV show.
&^%$#!@*: Exclamation heard from someone exiting the motor home, not realizing the steps were locked into the closed position.
"We found another problem": Mantra of RV service techs.

Electronic Ignition: Something you push a "button" for several times, only to light a match afterwards & hope for the best.


If it's all the same to you, I'm going camping!

galley - something men who don't cook design and expect a woman to be able to whip up a gourmet meal in

booth that seats four - only if you are under five or anorexic

garden style shower - glass enclosure with door guaranteed to pop open with the slightest pressure, no garden, some diffused sunlight.

surround sound - something dh's insist on to blast their wives out of living space so they can have control of remote.

four burner stove - yes it does have four burners but only two can be used at any one time?!

designer interior - I would like to meet these designers!!! Please see galley definition, I have never seen fabric, carpet or color choices that I did not want to change

walk around bed - should say 'scoot around carefully sideways while holding in stomach' bed

strategically placed anything - again designed by non rver's; you could get a suntan with the placement of some of those accent lights

generous storage - says who!!

bed size - one size smaller than house model i.e. full size house sheets will fit queen size rv bed

toilet paper holder - yes it can be found in the bathroom but nowhere within reach of the toilet

accent mirrors - the smaller and tighter the rv the more accent mirrors are required

dresser drawers - again smaller than house model i.e. bedroom drawers will be the size of kitchen untensil drawers

sofa sleeper - sleeps only your worst enemy, extremely torturous

clothes closet - usually resembles home entryway closets in that it is not used to store actual clothing but is to be piled high with anything and everything that doesn't fit elsewhere. Please use extreme caution when opening door
