Camping Altercations?

[code3run]

Just looking for short stories of any camping altercation you have ever had with other campers? Just thought it would be fun to read thru them.

The saddest was a night of canoe camping when we learned there had been a fatality in the group behind us on the river. lizzie

And this is why I prefer the neighbours to smoke a little weed when they are looking for a little buzz. After a while they get the munchies, then the giggles, maybe followed by a little paranoia and finally off to bed feeling romantic and relaxed. Never violent. Sigh...when will prohibition end. :).

Nothing like camping with a bunch of drug heads:R

Nice troll, though 😉

After perusing the previous 15 pages I have been one lucky camper!

This thread just gave me a great idea! I find that often while travling I pull into a park wanting nothing more than to halfway set up, eat supper, look at tomorrows maps and hit the hay.
Many is the time I have been met and greeted by the friendly neighbor,probably a great guy,but right now I just don't want to be bothered.
How about a major public altercation with the Missus, we could set the tone for 5 or 6 minutes and then retire to peaceful solitude.

Smart friend.

Had one idiot shine a high powered flashlight in my wife's face as she was backing or rig up on leveler blocks as I was directing her. It was late and had no way to turn off the Daytime Running Lights.

I put in a kill switch for my daytime running light just for that very reason

I just pulled the fuse for them. There dumb anyway.

Used to be that in a GM you set the emergency brake one notch to turn off the DRL's

Had one today, though the offender was not an RVer.

At the dump area of the SP we were at last night there is a "Absolutely NO Parking" sign so that rigs, especially larger ones, can make the turn around & get into the dump area.

I arrive to find a red mini van parked right below the sign & not even close to the side of the road. A few hundred feet away I spot 2 people walking away from the area. I lean on the horn which gets their attention. I point to the minivan which gets a hand raised in response.

More than adequate parking for cars is available not 30 seconds addditional walk time away BTW.

Back he comes. I point to the dump. "I thought you could go into it the other way" says Mr Lazy. Now we all know that RVs dump on the driver side don't we, not the passenger side.

I inform Mr Lazy that signs are placed for a reason & RVs, especially large ones cannot get to the dump if his vehicle is parked there not 10' from the "NO PARKING AT ANYTIME" sign.

Lucky I did not get the one finger salute I guess. Rather than go park where he should have in the first place he decided he did not want that walk in the park & left.

You see it all the time. It is the 'all about me' attitude. First at the buffet line, first off the plane, got a handicapped tag when they are perfectly capable of walking. To heck with everyone else.

Ok, after reading these stories, does anyone still wonder why there are class A-only resorts with 10 year age limits on motorhomes?

Yeah, because none of them were bought with drug money or money from other illegal ventures :R

'Walter White' could have been right next to you in a Tiffin and you'd never know until a black SUV pulled in and started unloading.

Again, it's NOT the object, it's the idiot!

Fortunately, to date, I've never camped in a state where handguns were allowed and I hope I'm snugly in my TT when the OK Corral reenactment begins.

What country are you from? All the states in the Union allow handguns.

Next it will be, "I'm so glad they don't allow pickups where I camp, darn drunken fools"

It's not the object, it's the idiot behind the wheel. Sheesh.

You let your dog run and he bites me or my wife he is a dead dog and you will have a lawsuit on your hands too. Video of any situation is good to have as with audio recording of any conversations with those of a contrary nature. People like that tend to lie. just sayin.
