Outside camping lights

[polar76]

Campers, Please turn off your outside lights when you go to bed as a courtesy to other campers who would like to sleep with the windows open.

Hey SoundGuy..How about a view of the inside of that box. Regardless if anyone likes it or not, the flashing lights are a great way to let an emergency vehicle know where to go if they are called out at night. I have used just a flasher (and the EMT thanked me) but the box is a cleaner setup. Share please.

Clearly you're missing the point. :R

Flashing 4-ways aren't nearly as effective as flashing ALL the exterior lights on the trailer, as my dongle does. 🙂

With idiot drivers we have around here that's the whole idea! 😛

Just kidding, couldn't resist.

I asked one time for my neighbor to ask if he could turn them off. They had scare lights on both sides of the trailer and it was kind of annoying being around the campfire with this bright light on. I asked nicely he responded with 'no problem' and turned it off. No problem.

If I'm doing something at my campsite that's bothering you to the point of losing sleep at night, and you don't come over and talk to me about it, then suffer in silence or post a rant on an internet forum.

60 years of camping in all kinds of parks and boondocking in the boonies and nothing stolen and no lights.

Every trip I take I leave the outside light on almost once when I let the dog out late for pee. So sometimes after a game I forget to turn it off. Well most often after a game. I really feel bad the next day. But life goes on.

Its called a "senior moment" and at age 63 I am becoming concerned about having them. If no one gets hurts (physically) or killed, or no expensive damage is done, I just kick myself and move on. I more and more double check everything I do, especially mechanical stuff. I am an aircraft mechanic and have to be careful, but you get complacent when you get older.

Instead of the fancy flasher box, you can do the same thing by simply plugging a standard flasher into your 7-way plug; the top 2 spaces.

I have some spare, HD Wagner flashers I bought at the flea market. Was replacing the plug and umbilical cord and junction box and testing everything out. I read your post so I tried it, neat! But I promise I won't make use of this at the campground.

If you are worried about somebody stealing your stuff, put it away at night. Since you are hooked up to shore power, put in a low wattage motion detector light is you need something.

Shut your outside lights off at night and the burglers can't see what you have to steal. That's no good!

You must not feel that bad the next day or after the first time you did it you would have made a conscious effort to not leave it on again like a dumbazz but your inside your trailer and its someone else's problem. Nice

Comment removed; decided not contribute a condescending dumbazz comment.

Good plan troubled, after reading some of his previous posts.
