A pop up addict when...

[SkipP]

....... when you look past the tow vehicle to see what kind of pop-up they're pulling!

...you've got your kids trained look past the tow vehicle to see what kind of pop-up they're pulling!

[gsm x2]

You let a popup pass you on the freeway just to see if they have a PUT sticker.

 
You can recognize 32 different TV popup vehicles as they drive into the campground.

*At a rally, you only know people by their PUT handle rather than their real names...
 
*You can have a lengthy discussion around the campfire about various brake controllers...
 
*The Fleetwood / Coleman issue has made you lose some sleep...
 
*Another PUT'er gives you advice about a cassette potty - AND -
you discuss above advice with your significant other in the front bunk before you fall asleep.
 
*You buy a bigger PU.... so you gotta buy a bigger TV
 
*You know the towing capacity of more than 5 tow vehicles from memory.
 
*You know the optional axle ratios available for tow packages...
 
*While giving TV advice to another PUT'er about his Ford Ranger TV, he asks you "so what Ford dealer do you work at??" assuming that you actually DO work at a Ford dealer because you know so much useless stuff about cars...
 
*You know what "ABS roof" means...
 
*You know what a "Duro" is...
 
*You are reading this...
 
(PS - all of these are true and have happened to me!)

Your 3 y/o DS keeps referring to the toilets in your house as porta pottis...

[Starryart]

When an actual hurricane with 100 mph winds(Claudette- 2003) is threatening to blow the roof off of your house and you can't stop worrying about your PU parked at the outdoor storage facility up the street. (Which tuned out to survive just fine- tough critters, PU's!)

When your car is in need of repairs but you take the PU into the shop FIRST! for a roof leak repair, wheel hubs greased,and the lift system checked. Then on your way home from the RV shop you stop in and buy your PU baby new tires!

Ain't it the truth!
Gosh it is scary how many of these comments resemble me!

When you hear ABS, and you don't think antilock brake system.

When TV doesn't mean a television. :eyecrazy:

[jstaddwtr]

When you discuss the happenings at the PUT board at the dinner table along with the other important things happening that have happened to the family during the day!!!!!!


(and yes....being suprised when our little one asked about who Birol was and why were we so happy about his good fortune!!!!!!

[brainpause]

I asked Holly to complete this sentence: "You are a popup addict when...."

She answered (without me reading ANY of these posts to her), "When cows are flying in a tornado, and you ask, When can we go camping?"

Another from Holly, "When you rob your child's piggy bank to have enough $$ for a campsite!" (Of course, we don't have children, so this hasn't happened.)

...when you have a log in your tow vehicle's glovebox, with EVERY mile on the camper logged, including the 17mi drive to the dealer.

Hey...I resemble that remark!   :J

The "Ford Police Vehicles" t-shirt did help reinforce the illusion
