Question What is it that makes you happy RVing?

[Rosy]

Oh all right. Only two thumbs up on a safe trip? Here are some material things that make us happy

---

I like my onboard reverse osmosis water. Currently only 17 PPM Parts Per Million. Ice cubes are Reverse Osmosis also. Camp water is coming out of the camp hydrant at about 260 PPM.

---

Certainly like my heated floor. My radiant heat floor has 275 foot of copper tubing in the floor. The ethylene glycol is circulated by 12 volt wet rotor pumps. The pumps have 1 amp fuses, so current draw is minimal. On top of the radiant heated floor is Philadelphia commercial flooring. White carpet had to go along with the cold ceramic tile.

---

I probably work on the Barth as much as camping with it.

17 ppm of what?

 

[rvkev]

Total dissolved solids. Sorry Rosy, I will edit my post to be more specific.

Neil, should I delete this post?

What we love most about RVing: It's the people we meet and the friends we make. Of course, we love the adventures, the places we see, the things we do, the food we experience, and the journeys we make. And, the occasional t-shirt. We entered into the RV world expecting to be enthralled with fancy campgrounds and beautiful sights - and we have had those. But, the bottom line about living this lifestyle is that we have met many nice people and made an awesome group of life-long friends...and that's as good as it gets!

I bet you do but it sounds like its worth it. Like boats, there is nothing – absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing, as simply messing about in RVs.

Ohhhh the radiant heated floors sound wonderful ! I hate coming back to Canada early in the spring when it is still cold! I don't care how warm the air temp is inside. If my feet are cold then I am feeling cold!

I thought sure when I posted the reply to Neil about the "compass" someone would have asked about the picture of the floor. No one asked. The lines in the floor are where the copper tubing was installed. It was sandwiched with more plywood.

Rollin Ollen, you are correct. Can be 55 in the rig and if the floor is warm, one can be warm in a birthday suit.

---

The true question for this topic is, if we are talking about material things we can touch and feel or, the inert things? New friends, safe uneventful trips, and fun?

Quite a reduction of "what"ever

I think the obvious is "both". The very thing that gives us this means of happiness is material. My motorhome, your Barth others RVs tents what ever means for folks to "get away from it all", Or on our case "get us to it all.

I'm one of those that believes we are in a matrix! That means both are one of the same!!!

Had to write this. This is a nice topic with good FUN comments. Recently Neil sent me some cool stuff. One of the cool trick cups.

The cup leaks on unsuspecting users. I thought the air conditioner was leaking in the coach. I found out after a diligent search the cup was the culprit.

 

[Neal]

I'm sorry to hear this. I wasn't aware the tumbler leaked. I can get you a new one on the way.

 

[rvkev]

You do NOT need to send another cup. It was quite comical trying to find the leak. The joy of camping.
Cheers to you Neil!

I like having Wi-Fi access. Especially to RVFroums.com! The owner Neil is present to banter or chat with and consult. Thank you for creating this community Neil.

I have loads of other camping comforts that make me happy. I do not want to hog the conversation.

When I was a kid we went camping in my family's TT a lot. I remember riding bikes around the campsite, playing at the playground, and getting ice cream at the store. We had campfires every night, cooking hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire, and just the communal bonding everyone gets around it. I remember walking around the site in the evening and looking at the warm and comforting glow of the lights and fires from the other sites. There's a certain ambiance you get from camping in an RV or TT that I can't really find in many other places.

On top of that, there's probably the 5-year-old in all of us that gets an unapologetic joy out of driving around a big vroom-vroom rig that we're the kings/queens of. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
