Feel free to add....
If you are leaving the campground and pull out your diesel Class A to connect your TOAD and you stop in front of other sites, turn OFF your engine! No one wants to listen to your diesel engine for X minutes while you connect and run checklists.
I mentioned this before when on another site that when checking in to also shut off your engine if near sites to keep the noise level down. Some I know like to keep dash A/C running for pets, etc. so yeah, differing scenarios. Just be cognizant of the noise you create for campers nearby.
I realize some do not have the gene to be considerate of others, we all know these types exist. Hopefully this thread can bring some awareness to be considerate of others and in this case with your engine noise.
