Well, folks, this will be the last of the RV posts for a good while. I've thrown four of them at you in relatively quick succession. Now it's time to enjoy the last of them before we take a hiatus from the motor home. It's been quite a thrill while it lasted with tons and tons of questionable decor simply oozing with "seventies-ness". Boondocking never looked so good.
Note: In the previous RV posts I've thrown in snarky comments throughout. This time I'll refrain - but don't you hold back. As always, I enjoy each and every comment from my readers. Enjoy!

To repeat a MST3K quote:
ReplyDelete"She's enjoying her 70s lifestyle!"
Earthtones.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Some of those RV interiors, even the ones with the dated colors (which I don't really mind) look nicer than every apartment I ever lived in...and better equipped, too!
ReplyDeleteThe comments are the best parts...I bet these old rigs did not cost 100k like the 2013 models..
ReplyDeleteIs that a gazelle skull in #2?
ReplyDeleteThe beverages in picture #4 seem to be milk with an orange slice garnish. Other than that, my bags are packed and I'm ready to hit the road in one of these babies.
ReplyDeletePicture #1, "Wine IS the answer. What was the question?"
ReplyDelete#1 A nice glass of Boone's Farm, and the selected works of Jacqueline Susann.
ReplyDeleteI just knew there had to be a fondue pot in one of these (#14)!
ReplyDeleteOh, you gotta have a fondue pot! Just watch it on those twisty mountain roads...
DeleteOk, now I SERIOUSLY want one of these - and it HAS to have 70s decor (or a darn good reproduction...except for #s 7 and 8 - gah, those colors could blind you! #s 1, 3 and 17 though - SO much awesome (or, excuse me - so much groovy :)
ReplyDeletePIcture #6: "Buy our luxurious motor home and mini-fridge, and we'll throw in the cardboard cutout human for ABSOLUTELY nothing!"
ReplyDeleteExibit A.You know you're a redneck when: The entrance to your RV's john is decorated with antelope horns(To loosen clogs,maybe?)Exibit B:You know your a Blueblood when:Your camping trip includes a maid serving hors d'eurves before you step out for a quick nine holes.See fig.2 & 20 respectively.Note: This comment is written with love,not as snarky as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteLeft side of picture #6--that looks like Anne Murray peaking over the 'fridge door! Sing Snow Bird for us Anne!!!
ReplyDeleteNow we know how "The Crystal Ship" from Breaking Bad got its start.
ReplyDeleteWe actually had those brown-with-the-tan-rim coffee cups and creamer/sugar bowl.
ReplyDeleteThe Browning of America!
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of style you get when everyone in the U.S. attempts to look like a hippy who is also a double-nought spy.
ReplyDeleteWhat is stranger? The guy hangin out with a death grip on a 9 iron, or his wife who has no legs. #20
ReplyDeleteSold mine off just a couple of years ago; a 79' 20' Mini Winnie with these colors and styling. Bought old and used for $6k, needed some usual repair (RVs always needed repairs). I took across the US tours, back road routes, with my 2 y.o. and wife right when the gasoline was jumping from $1.29/gal. to $2 IIRC, realizing that average Americans like me may never again afford such energy-ridiculous (10mi/gal) and sooo tacky luxury ever again. Rockies, Taos snow storms, Florida and California beaches. Burned up brakes going into Roswell NM, but Dodge truck parts were easily available. No generator; battery got four days w/lights, pump, and furnace running at night while at hospitals, Walmarts, and desert and camp sites other times. Irresponsible, maybe. Fun? You bet. s-a-h-d
ReplyDeleteShag pile baby, ooh yeah! Real shag everywhere. Carpets that is.
ReplyDelete#6 was she washing her tomatoes in the shower?
ReplyDelete#7 and #8 hurt my eyes, but in a most amazingly good way. And that's some delicious shag carpet.
#13 topless chicks! RVs really were rolling smut wagons.
#7 and #8 just need a bit of color correction. They're not really THAT garish. ;) (it's the same RV as in the pics below them)
ReplyDeleteWorst combination ever, a two week pilgrimage into the Southwest to see my mother-in-law's dying mother and a honeymoon with said mother-in-law's daughter (now an ex-wife) in a 27' RV. Mind the entire concept reeks of a 1970's sitcom plot from Hell but trust me it happened.
ReplyDeleteUpside: Visited Meteor Crater right after viewing Starman
Downside: Two weeks of listening to my-then mother-in-law and then-wife depressingly reminisce about the family's previous visit to the Grand Canyon with their now-deceased husband-father.
Thank God for Lone Star in long-neck bottles.
