Blocking EV chargers?

Just curious, I’ve seen a few times lately where RVs are pulled through several EV/Tesla charging slots, effectively blocking almost all of them, when there are other spots open, such as pull-through at highway rest stops or other empty areas in large parking lots. In one instance, the driver was eating lunch at the class C’s dinette. Is this a “thing”? Is there RV’er animosity toward EVs? (I’ve seen pickup trucks do it quite a bit, but just started noticing RVs, maybe because warm weather is here and people are RVing more).

    I have a couple pictures of electric vehicle stations :

    I think the EV chargers are specific to the car, an RV can’t plug into them.

  • Not that I'm aware of just sounds like inconsiderate people. If I wanted to use the charger I would of been knocking on the door asking them if they could move to give me access, being polite and thanking them if they comply.
