Would this bother you?

After being on a waiting list for over 2 years, I finally got a large covered storage spot for our TT. It also has un-metered electric. It is pricey, but the lot is right down the street from us and is really convenient.

I just moved our TT in last week. At the time, no one was in the spot to my left. I went to the lot last night to put some clothes in the TT and a large TT was parked in the spot next to me with all his slides out. The slides extend about 12-15 inches into my spot. I have a hard time getting my front door open. Also, instead of using his own electric post, his power cord is laying across the back of my site (and my neighbors site) two sites down to plug it. I am hoping he is just cleaning out his trailer and this is just temporary. Wife thinks I need to call the lot ASAP and complain. I hate to be a pain but this is really irritating me. I am going to give it until the weekend but I am paying top $$$ for this site.

I didn't take this picture at a very good angle but as you can see I don't have much room in the front of my TT to get the door open.

  • I would notify the manager immediately. I'm sure there's something in the contract somewhere stating you need to remain in your own spot. Also, if it's metered electricity, is he trying to get free juice? I would think the manager wouldn't be too happy about that either.

    It is possible I suppose that he cleaned the carpet and left the slides out for drying purposes, but that does not explain the power cord.


    The power cord doesn't make any sense to me. Unless his electric pedestal doesn't work.

    He does have his A/C on so maybe he is just trying to air out the trailer. All the jacks are down and the stairs are down on the other side.

    I just don't want to be a complainer if he is just trying to clean/air out his TT but it can't stay this way. Plus, I don't want to complain and then come to my spot one day to find him gone and my trailer "keyed" or damaged in some way as retaliation for complaining. I hate even thinking that about people but unfortunately, in this day and age, stuff like that happens.
  • I would immediately complain to mgmt. You are paying for the entire space and should be able to use and have access to every bit of it.

    I also think your neighbor is extremely rude and inconsiderate to even do something like that. No, I don't think he absent mindlessly left it out. Some people only give a******about themselves!

  • I think that I would be in touch with the mgr. today. He should be the one to contact the owner.
  • I would tape a note on the guy's door as an FYI, that his slide makes it tough for you to access your TT, and also you don't have much room to pull out with his slide open. Leave your # and ask him to call you. He may have opened it to unpack and forgot about it, probably an honest mistake.

    If he doesn't call or the slide is still out next time you go back, then I would complain to management.
  • I would be complaining already. There is no sensible reason to be leaving slides out 24.7.. with the possible exception of drying out the topper.
