Running lights

[Veebyes]

Can anyone think of a good reason to have trailer running lights on from dusk to dawn? Sitting in a state park. No CG lights at all. CG is virtually empty & in the trees so it is very dark. Somebody must be affraid of the dark.

you got a problem with pink flamingos?

Late getting back on this one. I'm thinking the perp might be a RV.Net reader. The next night, after a few nights on, the lights were off.

Kinda silly really. People leave lights on but pull shades so that they cannot see out anyway. Anyone making a late night run on the beer cooler will know this.

We try our best to avoid camping where I can even see another camper, let alone be annoyed by their lights. But when parking lot style camping is our lot, I still don't care if their lights are on?

Uh Oh,, I left the candles burning if four of my Halloween pumpkins!! I was surprised, they burned for three nights and finally went out!! Some on here would have gone nuts about that!!! Kinda crazy,, but my camper came with curtains and mini blinds!! We use them!!

It does make a difference if you are in a campground surrounded by other campers 30 feet from your door, or on a mountain without a single sole to be found for 2 square miles!

That may be true for you but that doesn't make it true for everyone else in the world. I have the scars to prove it.

Well, if your in an area with lots of light pollution, yes. But go to the rocky mountains away from light pollution and try walking around on a moonless night sometime without any lights. Even worse under cloud cover.

If you have decent moonlight, another story.

I turn mine off when I go in for the night. that's anytime between 10pm and 2am.

We have seen campers in forest parks with big bright spot lights on. Don't know if they left them on all night as we didn't get up and go check ( not pointed at anyone). We have also see spotlights rigged up next to the frig vent pointing down the side of the RV, supposedly to help keep the frig working better in cold weather, but it lit up the neighborhood in the meantime. We prefer the darkness.

Campground = flashlight
RV Park = Plenty of light everywhere.

Not sure why have running lights on all night. We were at a CG where three very large MHs had lights under their rigs. They said it was to keep animals from getting under the MHs. I don't know if that works or not but it did look pretty cool and being under the MH it didn't bother anyone in the CG.
