Lights on?

Simply remember that you are not an entity of one.

We lived in exactly the kind of circumstance that you describe for years before we got on the fulltime road 14 years ago. We still seek out those places. Just be respectful of those who seek out and wish to remain in that environment and if you find yourself in one, remind yourself of what you appreciate about your home, but move elsewhere to find what you seek differently.

Thanks

Again, it really is simple: Go where your mindset fits in or go somewhere else. It really is not complicated! And your choices are nearly boundless. You don't go where you don't fit in and neither will we. Problem solved.

After reading 8 pages of post, I had no idea that so many people was bothered by night time, low light illumination. One thing I have learn through the years is there are a vast number of campers with different life styles that may or may not align with mine. To be a "happy camper" I had to learn to be tolerant of campers who enjoys life a little different than I and in return I expect campers to be a little tolerant with my camping habits.

I live in the country,away from town lights and most people so if I want to star gaze in peace and quiet I need to travel no further than my back yard. I don't camp/RV to be alone with my thoughts and be in harmony with nature but to enjoy fanilies, freinds and especially children celebtating life and having fun day or night. I see so many post about things "we don't like" I am amazed people actually enjoy themselves when camping.

You (like me) can just walk outside and enjoy the night sky.

Others live in cities, towns with street lights, noise, traffic, light pollution so when they go camping they want to get away from that so any light can be intrusive.

Like you stated........" different life styles that may or may not align with mine."

We turn all exterior lights off when we turn in.

OK, everybody beat up on me. I have a porch light with a motion sensor (and an electric eye to turn it off in the daytime). I leave it on 24/7 when camped. When someone walks up to the RV's door, the light comes on.

And presumedly goes off after a short period of time. Seems reasonable to me. Now, if it has a flood light bulb, maybe not so much...

X2! Wifey has vision problems... I want light when she approaches.

I have rope lights on my awning and leave them on all night. I've done this for 20 years and have never had anyone tell me they were bothering them. I leave them on because I may have to take my two dogs out before it is light outside and it is a convenience for me not to have to bother with hitting the correct switch for the porch light.
