(But One of Them’s Definitely “The Good Chair”)

You pull into a quiet campground.
You spot a tidy rig, a pair of solo travelers… and four perfectly arranged chairs.

Not a group site. Not a party.
Just two people. Four chairs. And a deep sense of intentional mystery.

Why?
Why do we all do this?

Let’s investigate.

🪑 Chair #1: The Throne

This is the chair.
Cupholder intact. Padding pristine. Armrest adjusted to perfection.
No one else is allowed to sit here unless they want a passive-aggressive folding table "accidentally" placed in their lap.

🪑 Chair #2: The Backup Throne

For when the throne is damp. Or shady. Or already occupied by a very judgmental dog.

Also used for:

• Evening fireside rotation

• Strategic snack proximity

• Passive aggressive “I might join you, I might not” lounging

🪑 Chair #3: The Guest Illusion

This one’s for “when friends stop by.”
Spoiler: they won’t.
But we live in hope.

Bonus: Makes you look extremely popular to the camper next door who’s watching from behind their mosquito net.

🪑 Chair #4: The Wild Card

Could be:

• A broken leg waiting to happen

• A 1996 relic from a tailgate party

• The designated “laundry airing zone”

• The chair no one claims but no one throws away

It’s there. For… something.

💡 Why We All Do It Anyway

Because RV life is 90% optimism, 10% “just in case.”
And because we might host a happy hour one day.
(Or we just don’t want to admit that we overpacked… again.)

💬 Final Thoughts

Two chairs? That’s practical.
Three? That’s prepared.
Four? That’s peak RVer.

We may not know who the extra chairs are for—but we know they’re staying. Folded. Faded. Full of potential.
