You know Robert, from reading your blog, you don't seem to enjoy RVing. Maybe the reason your not meeting any friendly RVer's has more to do with your attitude than theirs. Unlike you, I have met mostly friendly RVer's, and have had made some lasting friendships. We have had several RVer's stay on our property when they were passing through.
I think the fact that you come into your campsite late at night, do your hook ups, leveling, etc, may be one of the reasons your stuff is disappearing. Something to consider, eh
Oh, and I believe no one has the right to steal anything from anyone, no matter how they may have been provoked.
Yes, we come and go every day. There is no reason to sit in a campground looking at the other RVs around you all day. We arrive mid-day generally at the arrival time set by the campground and wave and smile to others in the campground as we walk around. When we are out each start of the day and do the same. Some wave back, most don't. Generally we are the only Class B in the campground. And when I talk to others that I know with RVs they say pretty much the same thing about all those "happy campers" that are supposed to be out there.
When we come back at night we are quiet and hookup as quickly as possible. If what you seem to be saying is that we are upsetting others traveling the way we do, and the result is that they steal things from our site - that is pretty sad on their part. We are always in before quiet hours start. No one is being provoked. And stealing is wrong no matter what.
As I have said many times - we don't camp. We travel. Our mode of travel is the Class B and we are out to see the areas we visit. If I want to sit under trees I can do that in my own backyard. Everyone does what they like to do - and apparently from this thread we are not the only ones who get stolen from.
