An Ode to the RV Lifestyle

What do you think is most important to people young and old
is it wealth and fame and riches and how much they’ve bought and sold?

images777Is it fancy cars, bigger houses, or diamonds that shine so bright
or dressing in designer duds and snagging that elite invite?

Or maybe it’s something deeper that people hold near and dear
maybe it’s not about the superficial but about the genuine sincere.

I think when it comes down to it people want more out of life..
they strive for friends and family and to come home to a loving wife

As humans we crave great adventure, we want to be on the open road
We want more to time to be calm and relax, to lessen up our heavy workload.

So what’s the best way to do this, the best way to escape the mundane?
For me I’ve found it’s RV camping in the sprawling wide open terrain.

To have all the luxuries of home to travel with me along the way

It’s the things that dreams are made of, not to sound too cliche.

So whenever you wonder what’s missing, what is it that will make you whole
Know that you just need need an adventure, and of course an RV to pull.

Singing the Truth

I’m sure many of you have heard the song by country singer George Strait called, “There’s a Different in Living and Living Well.” But the truth is that the same idea can be applied to other parts of life. For example, “there’s a difference to camping and camping well.” No truer words have been uttered. And for those of you who have spent countless hours wrestling with tent stakes only to have a strong breeze blow your abode over, slept on a blow-up manrelaxinginrvmattress on the ground waking up wondering if you can move, or have woken up thinking that someone must have certainly moved you into an oven while you were sleeping because the tent must be a sizzling 150 degrees,then you know what I’m talking about.

Now I’m not here to bash tent camping, I’m sure it can feel rewarding. After all that preparation, hard work of set up, and then tearing it down, I’m sure it does feel like an accomplishment of sorts. But while I’m away for the weekend or on vacation I don’t want to work… in fact that is essentially the whole point. I also don’t want to schlepp to the bathrooms located a solid quarter mile away at 2:00 am. No in fact you might say I’m officially spoiled with my RV camping. Like most people I enjoy sleeping on a soft bed off the ground, getting a reprieve from the heat in our air conditioned unit, and stumbling to my bathroom only steps from my bed. Yes I think this is truly the way to camp, enjoy the surroundings, and relax.

To quote another country song, “I hope the days coming easy and the moments come slow and each road takes you where you want to go.” The pure definition of RV camping!
