Poll - Do you visit other "eggs" in campgrounds

[Ian G.]

When camping in your Fiberglass Egg you you stop in and say HI to any other "egg owner's" in the campground? My wife always knows that if I go for a walk she will find me talking with someone with a fiberglass egg.

[Rick Mooyman]

Of course. We are a friendly bunch, so why not stop and say HI.

[2yax2go]

Absolutely...we've met some wonderful people that way.

I'm not quite understanding the distinction between the last two poll choices.

That said, my wife and I are both somewhat introverted (she more so), so I don't go out of my way to start conversations. We're both in a very people-centered vocation, so when we're on vacation we like to withdraw a bit and be anonymous. I would never go out of my way to avoid meeting people, but I am the type to wave and pass on, unless they give signals that they would enjoy chatting.

Yes, I get so excited when I see another fiberglass trailer and quite perturbed when the people aren't home. If people seem like they want to be left alone though and don't make eye contact etc I leave them be.

[Pam Garlow]

No question about it, I always stop and say hello, and introduce myself as another Egg owner.
Normally that will get me a tour, which I'm more than happy to reciprocate with at my campsite. I don't push myself into their vacation, though. Many times I'll exchange information about the camping groups I'm in and FGRV, of course!!

When we first started traveling Ginny was hesitant to intrude on others until she realized they were away and alone and now always stops to say hello. In general I find RVers to be a friendly group.

We particularly stop and visit with egg owners, in a sense it's a life club. We find that people that once owned a fiberglass trailer virtually always stop by, reliving their past.

The friendliness is particularly nice when you're really away, a good chance to find more of the 'good places'.

I vote either of the first two. We always welcome visitors and questions. But once we got thrown out of a Casita owners campsite, and a Snoozy owner wasn't too friendly, so you never know. I had a "Visitors Welcome" sign made for our teardrop as that attracts a lot of attention but found some people were hesitant to ask about it. The order of most to least attraction seems to be teardrop, then the Uhaul, and the Casita draws the least interest.

One year we were on the road almost 11 months. That year we kept track of the number of trailer tours we did, it was over 100 separate tours. We feel we're spreading the word, the people have always been nice.

When ever we visit someone we make sure to invite them over. Obviously not everyone is going to love us, but that's ok. It's always positive to offer consideration to another.

I always tell our kids that when you give a gift, the gift is gone. It is their's, they get to do what they want with it.

We send a check to one of our nieces every month, she never says thank you. That's OK, but maybe not polite, but it's been given with no strings attached, as should every gift be given. It's the same with a greeting, it's a gift of your time. It may not be accepted graciously, they may be having a bad moment, day or even life, however it might just make a little or even a big difference. Love often and well.

[Jim Bennett]

I like to visit everybody, but am drawn more to the FG ones.

[DaMScampers]

Yes!

If they didn't want me to come over and talk, they shouldn't have purchased an egg.


On the other hand, I don't like them coming over to our site cause Terry won't stop talking about our egg.

Enjoy,

Perry

I haven been thrown out yet , maybe is coming ? no I guess I am a yack-off smuroff . yoe where on earth did you find a liberty deluxe 1946 vintage
i must say lol.

[mary and bob]

The Modernistic teardrop is a 1946, Casita is a '96. I'll have to see if I can rearrange that list. EDIT, all I could do was change the punctuation and add the year of the Casita, hope that clarifies it.

[james kent]

I didn't know that I had a choice!
Owning an egg is an open invitation to join with others in the joy of Trailering . In the twenty years that we have owned it we have only been shunned by another owner one time and we excused ourselves and respected their choice for privacy. We have even been asked for a tour while signing in and then been escorted to our site only To spend an hour or so discussing the differences between years and brands. It has been the best social investment as a way to enjoy camping with strangers ever.
Now strangers no more!

I voted wave although I do like to talk fiberglass, heck I will even talk stickie, tent, hammock, etc. if it looks interesting. You can get a feel for people pretty quick and I want to respect folks and look for the "signs" that they want to converse. Usually my dog breaks the ice and is the first topic of conversation followed by trailer/camping.

[Ron Merritt]

Eggs are fairly rare in my travels. Finding another Oliver owner would be like stumbling across a unicorn!

[sparky1]

absolutely wave, stop by what ever-always say nice things about other FG campers.
just might meet a new friend.

I wave at anyone I see in an RV, but if it's another fiberglass I'll usually make it a point to stop by and say hello. I've never been rebuffed and have made a few friends that way.

I voted "wave and hope to get invited to talk and tour." I'm something of an introvert and although I enjoy visiting with other people I guess I'm more comfortable when someone comes up to our campsite and asks about our trailer than the other way around. If I'm out for a stroll around the campground and see someone in a FG trailer, I'll wave and say something like "Nice trailer!" and if the person seems agreeable or invites me over then I'll happily get into a conversation. Agree that most FG trailer owners and RVers in general are pretty friendly folks.
