I'm in the Colorado Springs area for 3 nights. Left Pikes Peak RV Park after a Major falling out with owner/manager/employee (?) , not sure which. Long story short, I didn't appreciate his interferrancen with parking. What's this new trend where parks want to tell you how to drive. Backing in he tells me which gear to put the truck in, which way to turn the steering wheel, etc. This guy
even wanted to tell me how to set my camper up after parking.
Owners, I drove this thing half way across the country to get here. Tell which spot to park in and leave me alone.
They're just trying to protect their property and yours... I've been treated the same way, I just chalk it up to "just the way they do things". I grew up on a big farm in VT and have been backing up trailers for 60 years and I'm grateful for any assistance I can get... although, I'm also hard of hearing too! Pretty soon they get discouraged with me. Amazing how well that works.
The memory is pretty shot too, I just booked in for a week at a CG that I said I'd never go back to... Given the alternatives for CGs in that area of VT, they are looking better and better. Sometimes you just have to lower your standards a little. Besides, it's not always the campgrounds that bring me to that area, it's the area's attractions and family/friends.
