Trailer lights on while camping, what gives?

It is a "Hey! Look at me and my new toy." Cry for attention. When I discovered the flashing 1 and 7 pin trick I did the same thing a couple times. Thin the nostalgia wore off very quick and never did it again. Let them have their fun, it will wear off eventually.

This is all that it is about.

If you need dark to sleep, I think you should equip your RV to be dark inside. Shades, whatever it takes. Over time, you will encounter campers with lights, campgrounds with annoying light fixtures etc. Accept some people like a festive look at their site, and maybe learn to enjoy it. If you're looking for dark skies for astronomy, stargazing or just like dark, pick a campground/boondock off the grid with that in mind. There are some places here in CA which it is protocol not to have light escape from the RV. Telescopes set up, very fun and different.

I recon they just scared of the dark. They should at least turn them off to sleep

I can let it go, they are at the start of the loop. They can impress each other all they want,

So, there are a couple others with led rope lights all around their site.

Is this becoming a competition for "light king" like on houses at Christmas?

Maybe they let the tougue down on the pig tail and crushed the wires. Don't laugh. Oh go ahead. We did that one time. Or the brake pull away may be pulled turning on the lights. More likely they made a special plug adaptor and think it's cool. Did that as well. No worries. Let it go. We once camped next to a rig decked out with super bright colored moving LED's. Thought I was in Vegas.

They get so drunk that they can't find their TT without the lights on

Maybe they don't realize how annoying those lights can be. Or they know and simply don't care that other people don't like them. Maybe you'll be lucky and they're the former. But probably be the latter.
