Personally, if someone had treated me that way, I would be so thankful that I did not know them, and their actions would be why that is true.

If their nose is so far up their a-- let them smell their own s--t. I belong to a RV club and there are TT to $750,000+ RVs and we all get along and do mot look down on other RVers. We are all out to have fun , who cares what the snobs think. I know I would have smiled at her and said thank you, it would have burned her knowing she did not piss you off. Love this site everybody lets have fum out htere.

The best response would have been to invite the person to have a look at your renovations and maybe give you some idea of what you could do to update the exterior of your classic rv.

The way to drive people like that crazy is to park your old rig, then have your husband join you later and drive up in a Bentley. Which way do you think she would break?? Now that would be fun to watch.

Well, it looks like RV parks and some RV'ers are going to have to get used to older rv's. Everybody we RV with are planning on keeping their motor homes for a LONG time, so as our motor homes get older these snobby parks/people may change their attitude about what is old. A month or so ago, we were parked by a 1976 Allegro, and it was very nice. Like you, they had done updates etc. Everybody in camp were much more interested in that 1976 refurbished motor home than another half million dollar rig that was there also. Besides, there are many RV Resorts for those looking for fancy neighbors. Heritage at Gulf Shores have spaces for $700,000. Wonder why that rv'er that was ugly to you wasn't parked there?

I think most parks have the rule to use if they need to when a "trashed" rig comes in. We have a 1993 and have never been questioned at parks even though their rules are posted with the 10 year rule very clear. They know how old it is when we fill out the application form, but they glance out the window at the rig and don't say anything. Our rig looks newer than it is and is in good condition.

I read this book The Psychopath Next Door. The author did a pretty convincing job. She claims that one person out of 25 fits the definition. Her advice, stay away from them, your not going to change them.

Only wannabies are snobs. I would suggest to her that I have nothing to prove and am very comfortable with the choices I have made in my life.

You are always going to find people who are going to say weird inappropriate things. You just need to be prepared ahead of time. The other place you need to have a well thought out reply is at the gas pumps.

We have a 1982 holiday rambler we bought four years ago, we guted it redid the whole inside and I did all the chairs and couch we called upon the interior designers at a college here to help for a help in their field of interior designing classes and since I know alot of people at the college they loved the idea. I tlooks like a million dollar home inside and more. But the outside is great except if I could just get that dam orange decal off going down the side, it matches nothing. So we go camping first time in august since we didn,t go all of 08 because of the gas so we decided to redo the inside from ceiling to floor. We pull in a camp site won,t tell you where and as I was getting out to stretch while my husband was checking in a lady came by and said well are you sure you have the right camp site we have alot of newer rv here and so I froze and stood their and my mouth would not open and she says good day and bout ten mins later I came to and looked her up and youuuuuuuuu do not want to know what I told her. But you know mine is paid for its clean and screw whoever thinks or says mine is not up to par. Hope no one else has had this problem will send pictures of it soon and you all take a vot.


You could have replied with My money is green and the campground excepted it, maybe your in the wrong site.

Youy should see my 87 year old F-I-L's 18 ft 1975 Winnebago Brave. When we camp we he gets nothing but rave reviews.
