I went to a campground in Rapid City some years back. The check-in guy said he would go back and guide us in. I told him my wife was more than capable of directing me. He said he was required to do the guiding to make certain there would be no problems.
So, I followed his 'precise' directions and even after pointing out where a potential problem existed, he told me he had been doing this for a long time and had never had a problem.
So, to make a long story short, his 'directions' led me to a place where a post (marker) scraped the side of my rig to the tune of ~$3-5000. When I asked for their insurance info, I was told it was my responsibility.
As we all know, when you post any question on this (or, any other) forum you will get a wide range of answers from your fellow RVers.
Some replies are from those who have personal experience with the subject matter at hand.
Some answers will come from those who are "internet experts" and are just "conjecturing".
A few will even come from those who "...remember it as clearly as if it really happened."
These same folks are the ones who are often work-kamping as campground hosts, so expect a similar range of expertise as they 'assist' you in parking -- some very good, some not so much.
In fact, well... that's pretty much the same with everything else in life, too, isn't it?
