Why would anyone want an outside TV?

This isn't a "to each his own" thread. This is a thread about what respecting those around you means. Because rvs now come with outdoors televisions, it is expected that others tolerate it. I'm not buying that.

Neighbors like to get drunk and rowdy. To each his own.
Neighbors kids run in and our of our campsite. To each his own.
The guy next to us parks on our site. To each his own.
They play loud music until 2 a.m. To each his own.

I could go on, but you get my point. That's why we boondock. People don't care about their neighbor.

Turn the darn thing off and do what more people need to be doing, talking and sharing.

I don't like the idea of TVs while camping either, but I question someone who reprimands others for their TVs and not "doing what more people need to be doing, talking and sharing" but who himself boondocks because he can't handle being around people.

Boondocking is not a solo event. It can be and is done in groups as well. We boondock with others and enjoy the great outdoors. We invite others who have never boondocked to come along and try it. It's a lot of fun.

I don't think voicing an opinion like everyone else on this thread is reprimanding. I enjoy people and they enjoy me. I'm a very lucky guy. Thanks though for voicing your opinion.

Your last sentence came out very much as a reprimand for those who don't "talk and share" as you think they should. Many people have voiced that they enjoy their outdoor TVs as part of a social gathering - but you imply that they are not "talking and sharing" because it doesn't meet your standards of such.
