As I type this I am currently rocking out to heavy metal and base. No it is not my music it is our lovely neighbors music.

I went back to the orignal post and for the life of me, I can't figure out how some people here make the leap that there was blasting, excessive noise, blaring from hugh speakers and completeing with noise from others. Man, you guys (and gals) have great imaginations.

OK, how about this example? If you are watching TV in your motorhome and the music from the campsite next door is as loud as your TV from where you are sitting, that is excessive noise and inconsiderate. Some of us here are not talking about the sounds of normal talking or activity. As I said before, we all want to have fun, but we all know when it is too much fun.

westernrvparkowner should let us know where their establishment is so we can avoid it.

Curious which of my three comments upset you so much that you would wish to avoid any park I own? Was it the comment where I said that calling the police and health departments to complain about a neighbor wasn't the best plan, and could actually get you removed from the park? That is the same post where I said the proper course of action with a bad neighbor is to go to park management. Is that what upsets you? Or is it where I said that the people who took to slamming doors and revving engines to get even with some late night noise makers were actually no better than the late night partiers as far as the other guests in the park are concerned? Do you feel that disturbing other campers to get back at a camper that bothered you is actually the right thing to do, so you took exception to my position? Or are you upset that I said that someone's proposal that any sound that could be heard outside the boundaries of your own site is too loud was an impractical standard? You, yourself said you were not concerned with normal talking and activities, yet those sounds will clearly travel beyond the actual boundaries of most RV sites. If any one of those three positions upsets someone so much they would say they would actively avoid a park owned by a person who takes those positions I wouldn't want them in my parks anyway. They are either way too sensitive to normal activities, they can't wait to avenge some preceived wrong, even at the expense of other guests or they like skipping over the normal protocols to get things done and can't wait to call the authorities over anything that they feel bothers them. Frankly, I don't need any of the three.

You know, most of the time I am on the opposite side of the fence than westernrvparkowner however, this time his comments were right on the money. Even better, he expressed them with no saracasm :B

Be sure to leave your outside lights on tonight, and about midnight, hit the remote on your vehicle key and beep the horn locking the doors. Get up early and warm your vehicle up (about 6:00 am), and be sure to encourage the kids to get into a fight at 6:30 am!

Now that is funny!:B

We are full time and have not had any real bad experiences ... that is what the ignition switch is for and why I don't pay long term until I know that I will not have problems

I must be going to the right places as we've had no run-ins or problems of any real kind with our neighbors. One of our recent trips a guy invited me to watch football on his huge tv on the side of his TT. Hope my luck holds.:B

How often do you camp? We're on the road most of the year.

This year is the first time we've seen a genuine whacko and we've been camping since '68. Now if you're talking about simple rudeness, I've only seen those behaviors in the last two years or so from people who think the world revolves around themselves alone.

I'm sure they meant that irresponsible, immature people, drunks and other criminals also carry guns. Maybe not legally, but there are unknown people with unknown mentality carrying guns and they use them when they get mad. You never know who those persons are, so caution is good.

You've made a great case for the sane people to carry guns too.

Yeah, a shootout in a camping area over a drunk playing loud music is certainly a significant identifying trait of a sane person.

Guess you didn't notice but I said carry. Never suggested a shoot-out.

BTW sane people don't shoot first. Crazies do.

Different strokes for different folks. I find that having a face to face introduction with my neighbors when setting up helps prevent problems - makes it easy to walk over and point out that there sewer hose is leaking and whether they want to borrow some duct tape.
