What does SOB mean?
I've seen the term "SOB" in a number of posts. Of course I know what the "standard" definition is. However, SOB, as it is used on the AS forum seems describe those "other" trailers. You know, the ones with the visual appeal of a storage shed and the interior decor of a Super8 motel. What does it stand for. There needs to be an acronym FAQ for us newbies.

It can also refer to the owner of one of those esthetically-challenged trailers...

Same old box
when we first started shoping for an AS - and started spending a lot of time on this forum - we assumed it meant Same Old Box... which we still prefer.

It was either a pink umbrella drink or something we can't discuss here on the forums! But I think it's SOTB ~

I do remember an umbrella, that's for sure but the color is kinda fuzzy. Might have been Airstream Blue.

I need to use a SOB RV dealer for servicing since our local AS dealer does not like vintage and will not work on them.
When I pull into their (Roskopf's -Menomonee Falls, WI) rather packed lot I will always tell them that I am gracing them with some beauty to offset the boredom of the other RV's. BTW they are a great RV service place.
