I wonder how many of the complainers have actually timed the "excessive idling".
Personally, I have found that many times what I thought was half an hour of noise was actually only 5 or 10 minutes.
Time sure moves slowly when one allows oneself to become overly annoyed!
This is the best answer in this entire thread.
Not necessarily the "best answer"..
I HAVE "enjoyed" on several occasions either excessive (bordering on abusive and obnoxious) "idling" from diesel vehicle owners in a campground..
The first time was right around 5 AM right across the road from my camping spot.. They "idled" their MH clear up to the 11 AM checkout time :M
This year while camping I got to enjoy one super proud "Cummins" owner who thought that it would be great to "share" their highly modified oversized exhaust system with dual 12" stacks with muffler delete with the entire block of the campground.. They would start it up 10-20 minutes before leaving the campsite and allow it to idle 10-20 minutes when arriving at their campsite :M
Over the years I have been subjected to excessive idling, super loud exhausts and even the ones with the over the top thumping stereos that can be heard a 1/2 mile away for hrs on end..
Yes, there are a few detractors but I still enjoy my camping trips anyway in spite of those who don't care about others..
I try to keep my campsite quiet and not make any more excessive noise than needed..
