Pickle on My Entry Door Grab Handle
I wasn't sure which section of the forum was "correct" for this topic, but this section seems to be a good fit.
I'm curious if someone can help me understand a recent experience in a state campground. The morning after our first night there I went outside to enjoy some coffee. As I started to head back in to warm up my cup, I noticed there was a pickle on top of the bottom bracket for my grab handle! I promptly removed it and later did a bit of Google searching trying to understand what that was all about. The first few search results when pieced together seemed to indicate it has to do with an ugly motorhome. Apparently there is an infamous green motorhome referred to as the Pickle, and then there were some results for Ugly RV contests.
I have a 45' London Aire, which I think is safe to say is not ugly to the majority of people. However, when we pulled in Friday night I could over hear a lot of comments from several sites - but I'm not sure what they were saying. It could be that they didn't appreciate our rig for one reason or another.
We were with three other families and we were on one end of the group. Out site was next to one of the few empty sites that night, and on the other side of that was a large group of tents. We did have the heat pumps running at night, which aren't really loud, but do emit some level of noise. Later Saturday, my kids did spy an empty pickle jar in the empty site, awfully close to one of the tents. That might have been completely coincidental.
Anyway, I am curious if anyone else has had this experience or knows someone who has? I'd also be interested in your thoughts if it was indeed meant to indicate someone really disliked the appearance of our coach or was it more of a sign that we weren't appreciated in general. Perhaps it was just a couple of kids being silly. Other than the fact it was just an inconsiderate thing to do, I'm not bothered by it, more so curious as to why.
