Swim suit driers are so inconsiderate?
It seems a lot of parks we've stayed in have rules against having a laundry line. Sure, I can imagine that someone, somewhere went way overboard, but for your average family in your average RV park...

I don't think hanging laundry out is "hillbilly-like". What's up with that attitude in our modern USA?
I know campgrounds don't want the whole week's wash out all the time but a few items should be excused.
I and most folks around here hang out laundry in the summer to take advantage of our hot dry conditions. That is at home, not at an RV park. I don't hang out laundry at an RV park to try to behave...
Clothes lines are the new "green" thing even though it the practice goes back to the beginning of time. So, once the modern dryer was invented someone somewhere decided clothes lines were suddenly "socially unacceptable"? Indeed I've lived in yuppy suburbia where clothes lines are banned.
Personally...I see clothes hanging on a line and I think "home".
I disagree with park managers wanting campers to dry their suits and towels in the facilities driers unless they run them through a wash cycle first. I would not unload a washer of clean clothes into that same dryer! That is tacky and unhealthy for everyone. Park managers should indeed insist dirty clothes of any kind should not be put in a clean dryer.
Wet suits & towels from a pool, lake or the ocean should be washed in soap water then dried before being worn again for human health.
Yes it is a dilemma...have skin problems from dirty suits & towels, or wash them and figure out how to dry them...it ain't rock science!
