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 with a pool, a little laundry line strung between the canopy bars would be perfect for wet towels and swimsuits when the kiddies return from swimming.

The last park I stayed at said "dry your stuff in the drier"... yuck, that sort of screams "nasty cash grab!"

Now, instead of all of the classic "right of the park to set rules versus the right of the camper to go elsewhere" comments, I really would like to hear how many of you have ever seen over-the-top abuse of laundry lines, or are somehow inconvenienced if a neighbor throws a towel and swim suit over a line to dry?

...and from our resident RV park manager???

I just can't imagine that gross abuse of laundry drying is a widespread problem to the enjoyment of fellow campers, or that rules could not be written to address an extreme situation while allowing one to hang a few towels out.

    You probably don't see a gross abuse of laundry because the RV parks stopped it before it gets out of control.
    Yes, I'm sure they could change the rules to allow a few towels. But we all know what would happen......
  • We always have a bath towel, (or two) thrown over the awning strut. I have a spring-loaded shower rod in the bathroom for other items. I could see how too much laundry, could get out of hand-so I understand the rules.
