Wow, there sure has been a variety of responses to this thread... Some are no longer on the tread...
My reaction the the OP opening posts was that he was feeling good that his driving skill has gotten to where he was able to negotiate safely in a tight campground. One that may have been a problem earlier in his RV driving career.
A campground operator or their employees have no way of knowing the driving experience of folks checking in so they err on the side of caution.
I wonder how many would make the same decision with the same experience as the OP given the same circumstance and equipment?
In terms of getting backing directions, I am always willing to accept assistance but never relinquish responsibility... If I am not absolutely certain I will get out and look...Its the prudent thing to do...
Not sure why there is any reason or value in some of the judgments rendered... Some of which are gone and a few others on the fringe of being on the extreme side of unlikely.
Everyone of makes judgments relative to their own abilities...Most are based on common sense melded with their own assessment of capabilities given the circumstance.
One last thought... If the decision you would make is different that an others it does not mean that your are right and the other person is wrong!
For what it is worth when we are headed for an unfamiliar campground I will review the reviews on rvparkreviews and call the campground to discuss direction to and maneuvering in the campground prior to arrival. If overnight we always request easy in and easy out.... If not overnight then I expect to disconnect and will do so while Becky is checking us in...Even in campgrounds we frequent.
