now have you ever realized that you just asked the wrong person the wrong question well after
five years of RV living an RV travel we have just about seen and heard it all so
in this video we're gonna talk about the five things you should never ever under
any circumstances ask an RVer or say to an RVer so you're going to want to stay tuned
hi my name is Charity and if you're new to the channel myself my husband Ben our kids
our dog our two cats we've been traveling the US in our RV for five years now and we
have learned a ton along the way so we created this channel not only to share our experiences
but also our fails RV tips and tricks RV storage organization hacks fun places to
visit things to do and some of the best food along the way so if any of that sounds like
something you're interested in make sure to hit that subscribe button to be notified every time
a new video releases so lets Jump Right In with things that you don't want to say to an RVer.
I am so sorry I have no clue what it would feel like to be homeless your poor poor children just
must be so isolated hope you enjoy driving around with the whole tankful of your own poo now those
of us that are on the road have chosen to live a mobile lifestyle and sometimes more of a nomadic
lifestyle and that's just a lifestyle decision same as some people choose to live in a house
some people choose to live in an apartment it's just really a lifestyle choice so one thing to
remember is to just respect people's lifestyle choices and just because that is their lifestyle
Choice doesn't necessarily mean that they're socioeconomically challenged or anything of the
sort they're just wanting something different out of life and wanting to pursue things in a
different way then maybe somebody else that has chosen to settle down in the suburbs
okay so like what you need right there is actually a hose spreader what do you mean your
fridge doesn't work I mean it's really simple all you have to do is plug the fridge into the outlet
and it'll work this is kind of where the old adage comes in to where if you're not
quite sure about the answer to a question it's probably better to just say so than
give incorrect or inaccurate information now our viewers rely on very accurate information about
things like campsites and road conditions and other aspects of travel so it's super
important to those of us that are on the road to have very accurate information because accurate
information really helps us in our decision making process so if somebody tells us that
that particular parking lot is RV friendly well we need to make sure there's plenty of room for
us to be able to turn our very large RV around or be able to park and so forth
same as if somebody says that Campground can accommodate a 40-foot RV and then the sites
are so small or the roads are so narrow that there's no way to maneuver a larger RV well
that can really put our viewers in a bind so it's super important if you're going to
provide an rvera with information make sure that it's pretty darn accurate now something you will
never ever and I do mean never here an rver tell another rver is how comfortable that their Factory
RV mattress is because 90 of them are just awful and we're speaking from personal experience here
so when we went to replace our Factory RV mattress with a different one we chose a new mattress from
rvmattress.com by Brooklyn Bedding we went with the Aurora Luxe hybrid mattress and it has been
great having a mattress that really does feel like a real bed and not like an RV bed now the
process to get it shipped to us and then get it into the RV was super simple because their
mattresses actually come rolled up in a box and wrapped tightly in plastic so it's very
easy to get through the door back to the bedroom unwrap the plastic and it poofs right up but maybe
you're not full time or maybe you're part-time one of the things we realized when we were in
our RV we were actually sleeping much better than when we were at our glamper Hideaway which is our
home-based vacation rental so we went through brooklynbetting.com which is an RV mattress
parent company to get another mattress for the glamper Hideaway we also recently upgraded all
of the mattresses in The Hideaway to Brooklyn Bedding mattresses because when we're hosting
guests we just want to make sure that they're getting a really restful night's sleep now
Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are made right here in the U.S shipped for free and come with a 10 year
warranty so as far as mattresses go we're set for a really long time one of the things we want to do
is be a resource for the RV community and so we partner with Brands when we can and RV mattress
has given 30 off to our viewers this month that's the largest discount that they have offered yet so
if you are considering a new mattress check out rvmattress.com forward slash grateful to get 30
off or visit the link below a huge thanks to RV mattress for sponsoring this video
thank you must be nice to be driving around in a million-dollar RV there so you're retired right
because I thought only retired people drove around in RVs oh so you're not very tired oh
oh you're one of those trust fund baby people then I get it it's never a good idea to make
assumptions about anybody really but especially based on the appearance or the type of RV that
they're driving now rvers come from all walks of life and have very diverse backgrounds so it's
important to just treat everyone with respect and kindness first and foremost but also to
remember that just because somebody pulls into the campground and what looks to be a million dollar
RV doesn't necessarily mean that's the case and the same is somebody that pulls into an RV that
might not look so great on the outside it could be renovated and absolutely luxurious on the inside
so this is really where it just comes back to the old saying don't judge a book by its cover
hey you want to come over and we can sing songs around the campfire later Kumbaya
my Lord everybody hold hands hold hands hold on Kumbaya
hey you want to come over for dinner hey how about coffee oh my gosh you've been on the
road for how long I'm sure you have tons of stories and I want to hear all of them right
now so the next thing to never say to an rver is something that could be perceived as really
just being too pushy now some rvers really enjoy sharing their experiences and their stories but
some people have chosen this lifestyle because maybe they just need some time to themselves and
they prefer to keep to themselves especially if they tend to be more on the introverted side it's
important to respect people's boundaries and to not be too pushy or intrusive when it comes
to people inside of a campground so just remember not everybody wants to sit around the campfire at
the campground every single night with everybody that's there some people need some downtime and
some people actually just need some alone time to be able to recharge their personal batteries
man that really must be nice be like on vacation all the time not having anything
to do what do you actually do all day huh now the next thing you never really
ever want to say to an rver is asking them what it's like to be on a Perpetual vacation
there is kind of a misconception that rvers are all wealthy or trust fund babies and can afford
to travel whenever and wherever they want and why some rvers may have more significant
financial resources than others many have just found creative ways to either make an income on
the road or make their mobile lifestyle more affordable such as just living frugally and
continuing to work or choosing more affordable destinations in campsites like boondocking so
it's important to remember you just never know what someone's situation is and assuming that
they're retired or on a Perpetual vacation well that's just not always the case so overall it's
important to recognize that our viewers and those of us that are living this lifestyle
we come from all walks of life and have a variety of reasons that we have chosen this
particular mobile lifestyle we're a diverse and Vibrant Community that probably shouldn't
be stereotyped or pigeonholed based on different conceptions out there but one of the things we've
really learned about the RV Community is it's an amazing Community everybody is so helpful
and overall rvers are some of the best people that you are ever going to connect with actually Terry
charity is making me mac and cheese later on tonight we've got plans I appreciate it though
what this thing does actually it's not a million dollar RV it's uh it's uh what
actually no it's not a million dollar RV this this thing is like 20 years old and uh no that's
that's all right I've actually got something I got to do over here I don't drink coffee oh
yeah actually my attorneys just told me that I'm gonna have to refrain from telling those stories
sorry yeah actually this is not a Perpetual vacation we are still working while living a
mobile lifestyle and actually we spend a ton of time working to be able to afford this lifestyle
am I in tune
okay she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes you do know you're destroying the
environment by driving around a gas-guzzling or fee don't you like Nature's crying right now we're
actually very intentional on you know meeting up with other families at campgrounds like have you
seen campgrounds these days how many kids there are running around playing with each other not an
issue I actually we don't drive around with a full tank we drive around with an empty tank we dump
before we leave homeless what do you mean homeless have you seen this thing it's like a condo on
Wheels this thing's nicer than most people's homes I'm Gonna Leave a video right up here about
mistakes that every RV beginner makes so you're definitely going to want to watch this video next
if we don't see you out on the road or around the campground we'll see you in the next video
