Pet peeve, neighbors leave porch light on
This drives us crazy. Nice night and we’d like to leave windows open for air but are forced to close shades tight because of a porch light aiming right at us. You’d think in the close quarters of most...

For me, I would say follow the lighting protocol of the campground.
We stayed at a quirky little place in the middle of nowhere called Rusty's RV Ranch near Rodeo, NM that had a weird "lighting protocol". They literally prohibited any exterior lighting and required you to draw your blinds at night to contain any interior light sources. They catered to amateur astronomers and guaranteed no light pollution. They even loaned everyone in your group a red flashlight to help you find your way to the hot tub at night.
There was only one astronomer there, but he was pretty hardcore. He had a toy hauler with tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear in the garage of his hauler. Pretty impressive.
Rusty's was one of the coolest RV parks we ever saw. The spaces were massive and you were nowhere near your nearest neighbor. My only gripe was how remote the place was. We coasted into Rusty's on fumes and found out that the closest place to fill up was ten miles away at a place that wasn't even really a gas station. It was just a pump in the middle of a lot. No canopy, no c-store, no nothing. It just had a light post and a CCTV camera pointed at you. I've never been so glad to see a pump though.
