Ok, after reading these stories, does anyone still wonder why there are class A-only resorts with 10 year age limits on motorhomes?

Based on some of the last comments I am glad I have never been to the Class A only 10 year rule resort. Like they somehow never do such things? I would rather live in the real world than live in an imaginary world where I think I am somehow better than others.

Thank you

:) :R
LOL that was insane to read :)

Neither a real 'altercation' but one definitely is burned into my eyeballs forever!

Pulled into a real nice CG for a 1 month stay to grab the discount and get some maintenace on my RV and supplies.

I have my own rule of not staying at CG's when I am traveling that have permanent residents. Along the outskirts of this CG were just 2 permanent residents. How bad could that be? So I checked in for the month.

The first morning there I came out to have my morning cup of coffee to the view of the backside of a person with an outrageous red/purple wig on, tank top, mini-mini-mini skirt bending over watering the plants just about full moon to me..........it was man!

Next morning a nice couple walked by and politely said hi and kept on walking. Later that afternoon the woman was walking her dog and stopped and came up on my site where I was sitting. I started to say hi how are you, but she cut me off with, "I am part cherokee and I can slit your throat in heartbeat", and kept on walking! :E

I used to have rule that if the CG had more than 10 resident campers I would NOT stay there.

I NOW have a rule that I will only stay at CG's with absolutely NO residents. :C

2 for 2 go figure!

I said way back that I never had any.

had one last trip :) :)

small, but it was the darn dogs again.

walked my little dog by and whammo, out came 2 hotdogs growling and charging mine. I picked my little one up and ready to kick the offenders. but my voice stopped them. no collars on them.

I told the gal who rushed out from the site---'please don't let them loose the whole week. I am here for the week and want to walk safely around the cg.' I got a smirk and a shrug and not anything more than that.

2 days later, attakced by same mutts. 'some guy' not the same gal, came out and apologized but I said...'leash them NOW and he said 'YEA they should be'. DUH DUH and one more DUH. went to camp host who called rangers.

dogs never loose again. THEN when driving out to go out to eat passing the cg site, I saw the owners carrying one dog to the car. geez, get a leash LOL and learn how to walk your mutts.

people. who knows. some are just plain azz stupid and no fixing it I can see.

Since you're new here....going off topic on "packing" will get the thread shut down pretty quickly.

Sorry. In the future I'll avoid the subject like the plague...

I've been a member of aviation forums for a few years and there are similar hot-button topics there.

High wing vs. low wing (analogous to DP vs. gas)

Fortunately in our almost 20 years of camping, we've never had an altercation with another camper. I've had campers annoy me from time to time, but never worth getting upset about.

Strange, I've read all 16 pages and didn't see any altercation worse than the ones I've had with my next door neighbor (A.K.A. The Clampetts) at home. Maybe RVers are a different breed.

However, I'm new to this and I'm sure my turn will come.

This thread did touch on one topic I've been wondering about - packing. Is it a good idea? We just do weekend trips and the occasional 2 week trip somewhere now, but we plan to hit the road eventually. I think it's cheap insurance, but the other half really isn't keen on carrying. Or maybe I'll just join the NRA and put their window sticker next to the one that came with my Bad Boy horn...

There has been 10,323 views and yet only a 153 posts. Camping Altercations must not be much of a problem. Certainly not an epidemic. Or maybe it just doesn't bother people that much to post their worst story.

I had my share of run ins with tweakers and what not but 4th of July took the cake.This is what happened in our camp. Really messed up situation. http://www.khq.com/story/25960177/man-shot-at-shoshone-county-campsite
