We close all blinds and sleep with a sound machine going. It would be wonderful to sometimes have the windows open, smell the outdoors, and listen to night sounds, but we realized early on in our RV days that will usually never happen unless camped out in the middle of public lands somewhere.
 
Yes we like our space

Don’t you have night curtains? Our RV is completely dark inside even during the day with the night shades down.
Heck at one campground we had emergency vehicles literally next to us on a roadway with all the lights going one night, slept through the whole episode. The first responders were there from 2-5 am according to neighbor campers.
I can't even see them while I'm INSIDE my coach. No problem sleeping even when they leave them on all night. But the problem is, if I want to go outside and enjoy the evening at my campsite I have to stare into these 2 bright white train lights that you could see from outer space!! They might as well have 2 spot lights aimed directly at my camp site.
 
The funny thing about these idiots is that they set their chairs up around BEHIND their camper in the dark so they could sit and talk around a small camp fire. Guess they didn't like the lights in their faces. :rolleyes:

We've worked many years to get where we are and we enjoy our RV. We may play the music a little loud but turn it down when it starts getting late. I smoke cigars sitting out side. We have an adult beverage or 4. We are respectful of others around us. If we do something that offends you, say something to us. Don't just jump on social media and complain. Have courage. If you don't want to approach the camper, then have the camp staff do it.

I'm a salesman with 35 years of experience of reading people. It's how I make my living and I'm very good at it. I watched this bunch of yahoos all day drinking beer like it was a contest, smoking their ciggerettes, yelling from campsite to campsite like they were the only ones around so by dark they were all acting like drunken sailors. Remember, we had been there all week and these guys and gals showed up with 3 lifted diesel pickups and a car and 2 campers on Friday just in time for the Labor Day weekend. PARTY TIME!!! And you think I should have just walked over there in the middle of 12 people and asked them to turn their bright white lights off on the front of their camper? I can already tell you how that would have gone. It wouldn't have ended well. So I didn't say anything. I didn't call the campground office and complain. I just endured it for 2 nights and then we left to come home. It's not that I lacked any courage regardless what you may think, it's that I'm smart enough not to cause a big fight with a bunch of drunks 2 days before I want to leave. I left them alone and they raised hell for 2 days like they owned the place. I only mentioned it here so maybe somebody else that has these god awful bright lights on the front of their camper might realize how bright they are shining straight across the road in your neighbors eyes. The awning lights didn't bother me because they provided them light to see their stuff. But the lights on the front of the camper were just to be obnoxious. They weren't trying to hook up a truck in the dark so else why have them on? Anyway, under the circumstances it was better for me to stay on my side of the road.
 
On this recent trip I have noticed many different 5th wheels and tow behind trailers have these lights on the nose. Apparently an option from the factory. I only noticed because they where lit at night, all night. Some were blue and others white.

my wife/sister/I on a recent trip to Pensacola stopped off at a quant RV park in Florence Miss; very quiet, very small, surrouding a small lake. The next door RV had a 'flood light' on shining they blared into our trailer. I assumed they would cut it off at 10pm; at 2am my sister was tossing/turning on the turndown--so i went next door and unplugged it. You just never know anymore...
