RT = Roadtrek. 3. SP = State Park. 4. CB = Cracker Barrel (popular overnight Boondocking spot). 5. CS = RT Campskunk, a member that sports tie dye t-shirts (#1 FB consultant on RTs, that Dude has done it all). 6. FMCA = Family Motor Coach Association. 7. RTI = Roadtrek International (FMCA members w/RTs). 8. Land Yacht = Class A RV (Im sure they have nicknames for Class Bs too). 9. Rally = Roadtrek events organized by RTI w/scheduled agendas & meals. 10. Gathering = a Roadtrek event hosted by FB member(s) with no agenda or a very small agenda (Host it and They Will Come). 11. Jim = Jim Hammill, Da Prez of Roadtrek (Puts the home in Motorhome). 12. Factory = Where Roadtreks are built in the city of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Its guarded by Hockey Players to protect their Area 51 projects but tours are still available (call ahead so Jim can smooze you better). 13. Double-Double = Canadian Coffee favorite @ Tim Hortons coffee cafés (you will stay awake for hours). 14. SPAM or Haggis or Buffalo Burgers: Jury is still out. 15.

Always wave when you see other RTs on the road. 25. Real RT women have 3 windows tattooed as tramp stamps you know where, right Ginny? 26. Glamping = sleeping in tents is called camping, sleeping in a glamorous Campervan with the AC on is called Glamping. 27. Boondocking: when one stays quietly with the generator off in a merchants parking lot with permission then cleans up any produced litter (& doggie Doo Doo too) after staying overnight or Glamping off the grid. 28.
