Campground Etiquette

The 1981-84 model BWW's were nice. A set of Ohlins on the rear and a sport cam with a 5 angle valve grind will wake the engine up a bit. Have you looked at this mini bike hauler?

Ah there is nothing like trying to kick back and enjoy nature to the hum of generators! What gets me so perplexed is what I call "Campires". These are the people who generally pull in with their monster 5th wheel. Set up and go inside and you never see them again! Other then maybe their shadow showing from the glow of their mega flat screen TV! It leaves me scratching my head thinking why bother? I wish someone could explain them to me. Ah to each their own I suppose.... The truth is, MANY RV owners are not campers at all. Many NEVER were. WE see plenty of new owners right here for whom the R-Pod is their very first "camping" experience. For many though, it's a mobile hotel room, where they know everything is to their liking. And they use it thusly. To avoid a lot of that, don't stay in parks with full hookups. Stay in small parks. Boondock. Etc. When I was a backpacker, and then tent camper, I often thought anyone using anything "more" then me, wasn't a camper. I got over it when I developed the need for indoor plumbing on most nights, and learned the joy of coming back to camp after a long hike, taking a hot shower, drinking a COLD beverage, and sleeping with air conditioning. I don't judge how others use their stuff. (currently enjoying the lifestyle that allows me to use a toothbrush with a full handle..)

Our experience with rude campers was from a stag party that lasted to 4:30 in the morning!! The next day as I was walking by there campsite I said to a hung over guy " the campground would like to thank you and the two chatty cathys for keeping them up till 4:30 and where are the two chatty Cathy's ?? His reply i think they left.he could not look us in the face. Dumb a

No problem on agreeing to disagree, but depending on where you go camping, generators are among the things we have to deal with, like them or not.  People camp for a lot of reasons, and have a lot of styles of camping.  Some people have generators, some have dogs or motorcycles, some have kids.  Some have boomboxes, guitars, or loud drunk friends.  Many have various combinations of those, and other annoyances.  Some people don't even like camper trailers.  To each is own.
