I'm a live and let live guy.I just find it a little funny.I arrived on a campsite with another RVer. I am this unhitch-and-go (to places I wan to see) RVer.The other with the huge RV, start unhitching and unpacking. Setting up awning, lawn chairs, bbq, picnic table, spinners -- and eventually the pink flamingo. By the time we arrive early evening, they are still into unpacking and beautifying their campsite.What's amazing is that they were there for only two nights. We stayed for 5 nights and did not even put out the awning and only took out the lawn chairs to sit by the campire some evenings.Anyone else seen this often -- or is this you? Lol

It's my DW.She likes to have the full treatment feel when camping (Glamping). For a weekend trip it's usually just the awning chairs and table. When we stay for week or more then it's everything (patio mat, decorations, lights, candles, flags...etc). I have spent 3 days setting up for a 3 month long stay.

depending on when we check in and the current weather I may deploy the awning and grab a lawn chair to do some PM reading before dinner...even on a one night stay. total time to do both is maybe 1-minute. for a longer stay i'll deploy the awning, get the recliners off of the back ladder and put the MagneShade sun screen on the windshield. total time is maybe 5 to 7-minutes. the grill comes out when we first use it and then stays out till we leave. beyond that we don't "beautify" the campsite with ornaments, dingle balls or any other sort of lawn art.

Why does how other people choose to set up their camp site or how long they spend doing it bother you? If they aren't infringing on your site or otherwise breaking the rules of the camp ground, why does it motivate a self proclaimed "Live and let live" guy to come on here and make fun of how they do things? It sounds like you are anything but a "Live and Let Live Guy". If they don't set up camp just like you and to your standards of camping etiquette, you think it's funny and feel it necessary to make a post on here about it. Why don't you walk over to them and tell them just how much comedic value you find in their set up and let them know you already went on line and posted about it. Then come back here and tell us all how well that went!
