I'll tell you a little story I was over nighting in a restaurant in NY State which is shared by both R/V's and big rigs. I pulled in and got and spoke with a driver parked there. We were getting along just fine. I asked him when he was pulling out and he said about 0400. I said to him just do it quietly so not to wake me. That guy got in his rig and moved it forward so not to wake me. What a guy. Upstate New Yorkers are very nice folks..
