Parking an RV

This may make a few mad but:
So many people buy rv's and dont have clue how to park them.
I suggest to those that are buying find a large parking lot, build yourself a street and a parking place with big red cones and figure out how to park it. I met a couple last winter that had a 40' motor coach for 3 years and never learned to back into a parking spot.
Said he only stayed at campgrounds that had pull thrus. They will windup staying at Wal-Mart or Flying J.

Whats it to you? Is it bothering you that someone else isnt RVing as you want them to? Personally I PREFER pull thru sights and always request them when making a reservation!

I've had to back up tractor trailers for other drivers who could not do it, and your complaining about RVers?

I don't really care if someone can't back their rig (I am not going to stand there and test folks as they drive past me), or stay at WalMart, Flying J, a campground, resort, or just out in the middle of nowhere, to each their own. I am not so sure why we should all be concerned with what everyone else may or may not know how to do, or where they stay. Life is to short.

A large majority of MH owners either need to use a pull-through to park, or unhook their toad before parking. If possible, I like to park first, then unhook the toad later, so as not to block the road whilst unhooking. Has nothing to do with my ability (or lack thereof) to park the beast.

Why don't you just say it? "Don't make posts like this because I really get irritated when I have to read them."

I never did learn how to park it or back it up. That's why I always camp here:
