Probably just recently discovered the way to light the running lights and the novelty of it has not worn off yet (newbie!). I don't understand why folks leave any lights on outside after dark and they are not even at the campsite.

I already gave one good reason and it has nothing to do with "the novelty", being a newbie, or attracting attention as some suggest but simply so we can find our campsite on a really dark night. You don't like it? ... too bad, so sad, I could care less. It works for me. :B

Nothing wrong with that, but once you are at the camp site, do you still leave "running lights" on at your camper. The OP was asking about running light, not some other type of light. How about once you are inside the camper? Still leave them on? (running lights?). Once every one in your group has arrived, still on (running lights?).

I can understand outside lights if you are away after dark to help find your campsite. But all night? and (running lights). Nah, that's a newbie novelty item.

There again though, to each his own.

Here is a question? If you're going to be away from your camper and you need a directional light to help you find your way back... say a restroom run in the middle of the night ... why don't you turn a light on INSIDE the camper and let it shine outside the window? I suppose because you don't want to wake anyone up inside the camper and disturb them. But, it's OK to light up the campground and disturb others? It's just a though for argument sake? I know this idea will thoroughly irritate some folks.

Still, the novelty of using running lights on your camper is still pretty much a "newbie" thing, and something that RV shows do to razzle and dazzle a perspective buyer.
