I stole this from a fellow RV'er on Facebook. I was hysterical. Even after only 5 months, I can relate to 90% of these. SO True!!!
Top 25 signs that you live in your RV full-time!
You might live in an RV if…
1) Your GPS is your best friend!
2) You NEVER know where items are in the grocery store.
3) You dump your own sewage and it is no big deal.
4) Your family has to ask you where you are when they call.
5) You keep both winter and summer wardrobes because you don’t know where you will end up.
6) You know what snowbirds are and have seen them in their natural habitat.
7) Your HOME has wheels.
8) You blog so that YOU will remember where you have been!
9) You look in your pantry and see that you have cereal from New Jersey, pasta from Texas, canned goods from Alabama and crackers from California.
10) You are always the new guy in town
11) You know where to find the best, most reliable internet.
12) You own very little and are proud of that!
13) You follow the warm weather.
14) You hang pictures and decoration on the wall with velcro.
15) You don’t own any figurines or other cutesy stuff that sits on countertops.
16) You have slept in a Wal-Mart parking lot
17) You meet up with a family in Virginia that you met in California!
18) Your kids remember friends by what state they met them in!
19) You grocery shop every three days because your refrigerator is so small.
20) You have been to more museums, aquariums, national parks, monuments and zoos than you can remember.
21) You have ever “pulled chocks”.
22) You look confused when someone asks you “where are you from?”
23) You get your mail 2-3 months late regularly from your mail forwarding service.
24) You have witnessed your toilet “burping” at you.
25) You crave adventure and can not wait to see what is around the next corner!

I would agree as we have experienced most of them

Hah!!! Since we aren't really traveling full-timers, we don't experience all of those on the list. However, we have the blessing of seeing a lot more of "our" area of residence because we don't move. Folks have asked us what there is to do in Colorado Springs or Oklahoma City and I name off so many places that their eyes glaze over.

We've experienced most of these, but I think the list is missing a few such as:
26 - Gas Buddy is one of your favorite apps
27 - You feel joy when you walk into a really "clean" Laundromat
28 - you're newly updated list of your top 5 restaurants are in 5 different states
29 - Yelp is your "go to" app for finding restaurants, grocery stores, hair stylists etc. in each new location
30 - You've forgotten how to use any yard tools!!

I would agree with almost all 30, the one exception is #1. My GPS has really got me into some tight spots and is not always my best friend!

31 - You try to use a foot pedal on a normal toilet.

#32 - you see a trash container in front of a house and realize that you don't have to remember when "trash day" is anymore!

#34- When you can't remember which state you got that great bacon double cheeseburger, but you know it was about 1247 miles ago.

Another one that happened to a friend:
#35 - Leaving the window open in a house thinking you will hear the rain and get up and close the window.
Barbaraok said
12:09 PM Dec 28, 2014
#36 - you wake up and have to hunt for the receipt from the park office to figure out where you are.
#37 - you know what a slave pump is and how to start it.
#38 - you found the greatest storage space for that small item you won't need until you've forgotten where the storage space is!

#36 What receipt? We seldom stay in a place that gives receipts. I guess I could get my Walmart grocery receipt to see what city we are in.

I always figure that Wal-Mart is one of the more expensive campgrounds to stop at. Seems like it is always $50 by the time we get out the door!

I love and relate to all the new additions! We were en route from Myrtle Beach to Savannah yesterday and stopped at a pizzeria in a Walmart shopping center for lunch. We had to look at the receipt to learn what city we were in.
