So you bought a New RV? Avoid these bad manner mistakes.....

Don’t leave your massive woodpile in the path of your neighbor on your passenger side so they have to move it to get out the next morning after you have left.

Don’t start a massive bonfire at your site near other coaches that can damage paint. Go elsewhere.

Shut down your ATV/recreational toys during quiet hours. It’s not the time to rev your engine as loud as you can.

Do not think that neighbors will approve of your loud outdoor tv or music selections?

That goes for ANYwhere. I’m often bemused by people who blast their music all over - do they believe we mere mortals are awed by this?

Don’t go to bed and leave your camp fire smoldering / smoking for the rest of the night.

I recently had to put up with this, the people were singing and dancing, the music was loud, it was late (or early). Oh wait...never mind. @ARD @NWIP

This is why tablecloths are a grand idea.

The "quiet time" rules are probably the most abused during the weekends at some campgrounds.

There have been a handful of occasions when we needed to get on the road early, like by 5:30 or 6am. It has only come up two or three times in the past several years. What I did the evening prior was to reach out to the campsites around me and let them know I needed to leave at that early hour. I'm sure I still woke some of them up but they appreciated the warning I think.

Our federal lands are threatening to close dispersed camping areas due to trash. If we want to keep these areas open we must take the lead in stopping this. See someone trashing a place? Get plate information and contact authorities immediately. Pictures of the vehicle with the plate number work miracles. If cell phone is not available save the plate number and turn it in when you can. Be prepared to sign a complaint if necessary. It's up to us to keep our public lands open. I used to confront people about this but I'm to old to fight now so this is the best way to handle it.

I used to have a pickup with a slight modification to the exhaust. I felt guilty when I started to leave a campground before 8 AM so I don't make those kinds of modifications anymore.

Good point. I know my Newmar, being factory stock, was pretty loud when I started it up compared to my current diesel (F350). The ford's motor probably won't bother as many folks now plus I am really careful closing hatches and such.

Ahhh yes, and big DP’s don’t toot the air horn upon leaving at 6 AM.
