marker lights on while camping
We just got back from an extended weekend at Old Orchard Beach, where a lot of our Canadian neighbors also frequent. I noticed, though, that several campers (pop-ups, TT, 5th wheels) had the running ...

After 11 pages, I've almost forgotten what the OP posted! Forgive my philosophizing, but I think that part of the problem is that here in the US, many have mistaken Liberty for License.

One of the reasons my DW and I bought our first trailer was to insulate us from our "neighbors" whose headlights or (bleeping) Coleman lanterns were boring a hole through our tent after we went to bed. I guess this means I can sympathize more with Nvr2loud more than those in the Light Brigade. Yes I've been known to go to a neighbor after "quiet time" had started at the CG. Both times the response was, "Oh geeze, is it 10:00 already? SORRY!!!" One group was a bunch of teens. It warmed my heart that they were so respectful. I was expecting snide comments. Loved being proved wrong that time! My favorite was on our last outing. A large family was having a great time playing some game. After I reminded them it was after 10:00, one teen-age kid asked, "Were we being loud?" We could here them on the other end of the CG! I guess one man's noise is another man's whisper.
