I don't think this is a "RV" issue, as much as it is a bum/public nuisance issue. I'm sort of surprised to see the comments on here from WA about minding your own business when Seattle has a pretty well known problem with RVs and tent cities.
The majority of these people commit property crimes (mail theft, B&E, car prowls, etc.) to get by on. Not too mention the drug use and prostitution. Compound this with RVs that can't (or won't) drive to a dump station, most of "campsites" turn nasty quick. All that said, complaining and calling the police didn't help at all as Seattle bent over backwards to accommodate these people, setting up public RV lots.
