I learned something new here today. I learned there's such a thing as a
full time RVer. This shocks and appalls me greatly. It's bad enough that
people buy RVs and use them for vacationing but I guess I can see some
little appeal to that mode of travel for vacations. If only they'd just
they'd learn traffic laws and learn how to be polite and informed. (But
I've about worn out my welcome on that topic so onwards and upwards.)

What with hotels and motels having a rash (no pun intended) of bed bugs
and other vermin such as fleas from dogs people sneak into their rooms,
who wants to stay in a motel room anyway? So carrying your own 'room'
along with you might be justifiable in some cases. And who really wants
to spend half their lives in airports clearing this security check and
that strip search? Or on buses with sweaty Mexicans, hostile Black
gang-bangers and senile, talk-to-themselves, bag ladies? So, though most
of the people here who are RVers seem to be misguided bullies, I think
there probably are intelligent, polite and sensible folks out there on
the roadways driving RVs who have a legitimate use for them. I think the
RV people who hang out here are has-beens or wannabes. Why associate
with the low-life that constitutes the majority of posters here? I guess
I got off track and what I want to stress is that RVs can have a
legitimate purpose but wishing to use or actually using one as a full
time habitation is gross -- a modern-day Gypsy wagon?

So, what's with this "full time" stuff? What and who are they? I picture
a group of itinerant trailer park trash, vagrants and ne'er-do-wells
roaming the country in junky old RVs probably stealing things in one
town and then moving on to the next before they get caught to steal
something else. Unshaven, unkempt and dirty with ragged old clothes they
probably sleep in. I take it they have no home anywhere to return to so
they just roam, cause trouble and greatly contribute to the bad
reputation of RVers as a class. What kind of a thing to do is that? What
kind of person wants to be a homeless Gypsy unwelcome and asked to "move
along" most everywhere they go? What kind of a person would give
responsible folks who legitimately use RVs part time like they are
supposed to be used a bad name?

You people here who are legitimate RVers need to discourage this "full
timer" crowd. They will cause your legitimate use of RVs for vacations
to be more and more restricted. RVs already are unwelcome in a lot of
tourist areas because businesses know they don't spend much money on
hotel rooms and food and drink because they carry all that with them. So
who needs them clogging up the roads? Better to have less congested
roads with tourists who actually contribute something to the local
economy.

Don't think I'm exaggerating here. It's already happened in the sailing
yacht world. My Dad's 68-foot Swan is not some full-time liveaboard bum
boat. It's legitimately used for corporate get togethers and sometimes
as a meeting headquarters. It doesn't go around with some dirty,
hippy-looking vagrants at the helm. When one owns a real yacht like the
Swan one sees way too many "full time live aboard" itinerant people who
give yachts a bad name. They dump sewage into the water, they toss their
garbage overboard, they run loud and smelly generators, etc. They get
drunk, obnoxious and naked. In other words the same type of behavior
that vagrant RVers engage in. It gives yachting, in general, a bad name
and results in ALL yachts being unwelcome in some places. This WILL
happen to RVs if you let this "full time" low life get a foothold.
Please, for you own benefit you MUST discourage this aberrant behavior.

On second thought, forget about it.  I'd rather see "full timers" be the
cause of an outright ban on all RV's. So never mind. Welcome them into
the fold.
