Trying to make things easier, we doth offend! <br /><br />Or maybe there's a difference of psychology for those of us who prefer to drag our own "house" instead of renting a hotel room when traveling as well? As you say, it's easier for them and more "hobbit hole" comfort-familiarity for us. Non-RV folks don't get why we do what we do, so they make up reasons for our "odd" behavior. Despite our best intentions and my used RVs 10K price, I suspect pulling up a 500sf RV that sleeps 8 in (foldout) beds is still taken as flashy, something that isn't in my mental lexicon. Their college-age kids preferring to bunk with us instead of couch surfing at their own home taken even worse...<br /><br />*Shrug*Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-1147600801390053612016-09-24T18:49:51.295-07:002016-09-24T18:49:51.295-07:00Wolfe,

Nothing could be further from the truth. I feel like I am being a less intrusive and therefore "better" guest.<br /><br />To each his/her own...ya know?<br /><br />Rich "The Wanderman"<br />The Wandermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111895389728923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-56326879425485016742016-09-24T17:40:43.014-07:002016-09-24T17:40:43.014-07:00Have you had any issues with friends/family actual...Have you had any issues with friends/family actually being offended by you "bringing your own house"? <br /><br />I have in-laws who already house 6-8 adults in a 2 bedroom 900sf house, so my family of 4 visiting is...ABSURDLY crowded? Having the RV, using it seems logical to me, but we get a chilly reception for the suggestion (done it anyway once when travelling through to other relatives that holiday season). Any suggestion for politically suggesting "Thanks for your sleeping bag on the floor, but we prefer our beds?"Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-77896008992243092792016-09-24T11:07:37.501-07:002016-09-24T11:07:37.501-07:00Speaker,

Heck I can use 15 Amp circuit without popping anything.<br /><br />I will always cook a full breakfast for everyone there using their eggs (from their chickens!) and my "imported" ingredients. It's always a popular few mornings. Do a search for breakfast in my articles for some recipes.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Rich "The Wanderman"<br />The Wandermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111895389728923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-13689156190720996432016-09-24T11:05:44.761-07:002016-09-24T11:05:44.761-07:00Copper,

In addition to spending time with our friend, we can invite her over to our place for a meal or two. I have to be careful of the electric supply but its wonderful to visit as well as sleep in your own bed at night.Speakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068389845051316106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-26766487161111569612016-09-24T09:05:12.409-07:002016-09-24T09:05:12.409-07:00It's nice to have friends in high places.
