I always carry three cones for emergency situations while on the road. I use them behind my rig if I have to stop along the shoulder of the road for more than a few minutes. What's been your experience when set up in an RV Park or campground? Are they useful when parked? Have they saved your rig from damage from others who may not be as careful? Is three enough when in camp?

We have a 40' MH and never had a problem. I think there's a collapsible orange cone someplace in one of the compartments that the wife wanted to take with us, but I've never gone looking for it.For the road I prefer the orange triangle reflectors. I think they show up better and they take up less room.Bill

X2 w/ the triangles. Plus a Hi Viz vest probly not a bad idea to carry if you break down on the road.

We carry the Triangles in the truck. Like others noted, they take up less room, so they are easy to store, and can be purchased in just about any truck stop if you loose or break them. Good Luck and Happy Camping

At night the DOT triangles come in very handy. Daytime not so much. If they can't see a 40' MH or a 38' fiver while they are texting the cones are likely worthless.

I carry safety triangles as required by law for emergencies. I do carry one small orange cone. I only use it to bring attention to my satellite cable if it runs across someplace where it could be tripped over. Otherwise it stays in the storage compartment.

I feel for my neighbor. He works for a major phone company, and brings the company truck home each night. Company rules state that drivers will place cones at the front and rear corners of the truck, no exceptions. Even in his own driveway. Must get pretty old, fast.

Cones in a RV park to point out your sticking out of your spot,so please don't hit me. This is as useful as a gun free zone, or safe zone. I am camping right now and the guy next to us has cones in front of the truck. I wonder if he thinks no one can hit me I have a cone out?????? RLMAO

Only use I could see for them in the campground would possibly be using them as a guide on how you want to back into a tight campsite.

On the road - better than nothing, but
in/for some states, triangles are re'd for stopping on the road - including RVs.

Campground -
A possible use for *one* of your cones is underneath the pin when un-hitched - unless you have something else to save a few stitches in your noggin...:W

Only time I've seen cones in an RV site was when the vehicle was gone and used as a reserved sign.

The only use I can think of for them in a campground would be to place them a foot or two away from the tongue of a TT or the pin box of a 5er for safety of yourself and others. JMHO

How about these? Might go well with the rope lighting everyone seems to be overdoing these days.

Instead of cones, have you thought about using police tape?

We carry cones and I have used them several times at my wife's request (HWHL).
There was a CG in TN that supplied cones, short drive through sites, you either hung out one end or the other or both so we used them (no other sites available at the time and we told them our length before reservation).
