I am sure you have heard the fable of the grasshopper and the ant. Well the grasshopper is our good time Charlie with no worries and no preparations. The ant is like the MOCer who pays attention. His rig is not his toy to use and abuse and throw away, rather it is his home or a prized possession.

I know a number of folks who don't spray for termites either. Later, they find very expensive repairs are needed because they didn't. Some of those same folks you describe also don't take care of their autos, then wonder why transmissions and wheel bearings fail.

It is easy enough to join the group just stop. Stop checking tire pressures, stop draining your water heater and replacing the anode, stop winterizing if you live up north, stop doing any preventive maintenance. Just hookup and roll. Maybe you will make it through your trip or maybe........you have to hang around to the end of the story to see if your first impressions turn out to be true or does your grasshopper end up in a heap of trouble.
