Strange energy field around a RV?

You don't need to be in a 500 acre park to experience the phenomenon!

The "No Door Dings" syndrome:
Just park your new car or truck -or old one you try to keep pristine- in an empty parking lot, well away from whatever store you plan to visit.

*Guaranteed* there will be a car, SUV, truck or a "beater" parked on either side of you in short order - while the rest of the parking lot is still empty..:(

That is so true! We make sure to park *really* far away whenever possible...

You boondockers get it all wrong instead of buying the quiet generator you should be looking for the loudest.:B

The problem is, some scare tactics will attract instead of repel! such as:
Cleaning guns on the picnic table will repel some people, but attract others.
Installing HUGE speakers around the firepit, with a DJ turntable and microphone and beer keg will repel many people, but some will want to know when the party starts, and expect to be invited.

Sometimes ya just can't win...

Blame it on our inate, primitive genes.

For the early Cavemen it was a matter of survival to seek out and stay around other cavemen. Their are literally was safety in numbers, more ears listening, more hunter/gatherers, and more spears for protection and a big, roaring fire too.

There are certain chemicals and devices that repel rats, keeps unwanted wandering dogs and cats away, kills ants and bugs, scares off coyots and wolfs.

And some pretty good inflatable people repellants too!

A tuba on the picnic table works well as a camper repellent.

Set the tuba next to an open jar of this and you'll have the whole county to yourself!

CG owners have the same energy field disease.

They sign you in and start parking you one by one next to each other. While there are 40 more empty sites on the outskirts of the CG.

I always ask to be parked out in the lower forty of the CG 'away' from other campers. I am full time and when I get off the road for the night when traveling all I want to do is relax for the night. I'm not there for a social gathering!

You'd be surprised the 'deer in the headlights' look I get from the CG owners. It's almost as if they don't know how or what to do. They are so conditioned to parking everyone sardine style row after row as you come in. Which it IS your choice if you don't want to be the next number in line. :R

Bingo. Sometimes it is an attempt to be courteous, since one CG I go to has paved sites with some semblance of Wi-Fi... then in the back 40, gravel sites which are set back well away from the highway, and a lot quieter. I don't care about Wi-Fi because I'm not on call 24/7 these days, and 3G/4G/LTE is good enough when I'm not at home. If one doesn't explicitly ask to be placed in the back, the hosts assume one wants towards the front.

When I get close to my camper with my compass, it doesn't point north anymore. There's something out there.

Nope, no simple answer. I have pondered on this for years. I have come to the conclusion that it is a classic example of a paranormal phenomenon.

Well, they do seem to have discovered that gravity waves actually exist, so perhaps part of the material built into RV's creates more gravity waves than normal material.
