I'm gonna be unkind

My Illinois Uncle Albert would come to visit with a pickup truck full of kids and he would drive thru the ditch in the front yard and parked where ever it stopped rolling... My dad would never say a word about it...

Then the two brothers would talk and talk for hours on end most of time at the same time - neither one could hear very good hehe...

Them were the days for sure...

I had never been in any rv type vehicle when I bought my used Springdale. But before I even "plugged" it in I had read every single manual, instruction book and chart I could get my hands on. If I was unclear I asked for help. But sometimes I get frustrated over inane, thoughtless questions and issues. Comments that a class A might deprive another family of enjoyment because it takes two parking spaces at an attraction. Or why does my COMPRESSOR driven fridge not keep stuff cold "I thought they ran on propane" is more than I can relate to. Read the friggin instruction book on your "new" gadget. The parking space deal is gonna take time to get over.
Thank you for your time.

I agree. I read everything, first. You will be surprised how much more value you receive from a product when you read the label!!

However, the best advice I received here was by a moderator:

"Don't like it? Don't read it and move on."

I tried it and it works! If it is an idiot post, I am past it before my BP can go up.

LOL! If everyone read their manuals from cover to cover, this forum would be pretty darn boring.........

Parking: Attractions are divided in two types.. Some have special parking spaces designated for RV/Bus parking, others do not.. The ones that do not it is very unusual for the parking lot to be so full that you can not park there (That said I have seen it happen a time or two) with a class A + Towed.. in fact one time I saw a lot so full i do not think you could have found parking for a skateboard but hey,,, That was Black Friday eve at a Wal*Mart.. I parked elsewhere and did my shopping the next morning when the lot was basically empty.

(Got what I wanted too).

I do admit we get some questions in these forums that make me wonder if the person questioning their ability to think.. Sometimes I comment, Sometimes "N"ext, but in this the forum is no where near unique.. I have seen the same things many times live and in color as it were.

My biggest complaint is "I have 2 12 volt batteries"........

Ok, group 24, 27, 29, 31, 4D 8D, 4,000 pound Fork lift batteries,, (I think you can see where I'm going).

The information they left off is kind of important.

Wouldn't that apply more to the guy with the big RV that got all jacked outta shape because they wouldn't let him park in the lot??? Seems to me that ya know goin' in that you can't park the darned things just anywhere...

That's a big 10-4 and either ya gotta take your lumps or ya gotta get creative.

People reading manuals? Whyfor? Just LOOK IT UP! :B

Yep. :B

If we could eliminate this 'rule', things would be a lot nicer for the rest of us.

Cuff I've had to take So. Fulton Parkway off of 285 more than once to avoid the parking lot. I've got a barber shop down in Tyrone that I use more than any other. It's getting down right hard to find a barber and not a hairdresser wantabe.

Why are you reading folks the riot act just because they pretty much told him what you just said: "Read the friggin' instruction book on your new gadget". No reason on planet Earth why anyone's rig should be accommodated just because the rig owner thinks it should be.

Sheesh!

Hey Cuffs,
Somedays, I wake up and wonder if the aliens came in the night and started the thought removal process because nearly everyone looks like they took a moron pill. Somedays, I wonder if they got me.

Yeah, a lot of this RV stuff could be easier if we were always up to the Boy Scout motto-- Be Prepared.
