Curious on the social aspect of rv'ing
Not sure how to ask this, but when you all are rv'ing, do most people want other rv'ers to be nice and start conversations at the campground or do they usually want to be left alone. I've been to camp...

Here's my observations regarding social aspect in any situation.
My DW and I are opposites when it comes to being around unknown people like in a campground. She is the type of person that starts conversations with anyone. She always has a smile and an "open" demeanor so people gravitate towards her. It's amazing to watch. We will be in a store or at a restaurant or in a campground and within minutes she will be in conversation with people to the point where folks will hug her before they walk away.
I on the other hand tend to go about my business have a "closed" demeanor and acknowledge others but not try to start a conversation. If I choose to be friendly I can, all it takes is a smile and a comment about something the other person is doing, wearing or something they have... "Nice Motorhome"
In campgrounds it doesn't take long to build friendships, common interest in RVing is the ice breaker and it takes off from there.
Thanks mostly to my DW we have many long time friendships that began in a campground. It seems each time we go camping we end up with more friends...
