Slammers

We've been at this fulltiming thing now in our 14th year. Given that we've been in close proximity, even boondocking, close to someone for at least half of that time, what's up with the slamming?

Slamming RV doors. Slamming car/truck doors. Slamming outside cabinet doors. Slamming Motorcycle compartments (yep 20+ times in the last 3 days). I don't get it. ALL of those entities can be closed quietly without disturbing anyone. I can close the door to my F-250 without making a discernible noise 2' away.

Do you all just want attention or do you just not get that this could conceivably bother other people?

Please think and stop it!

Something told me I should read all 4 pages of this, and it was right. Very funny people have posted, I've enjoyed it. Much better than the how to merge thread that went a stupid number of pages recently.

while were at it , what about the people with 5th wheels that leave there drivers side flood light on and leave or go to bed. Those things really ruin my smokey campfire.

I just never hear it. Probably because I have the A/C running on high and the TV turned up enough to drown out the noise from the A/C. ๐Ÿ™‚
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

Do you do it unrulely? Do you do it with your Dually?


Do you like it with a weasel? In the bed of your diesel?


Do you do it before breakfast? Do you do it after lunch? Do you do it so much that your neighbors hate you a bunch?

Have you tried it? Would you try? If you did, you would like it I bet. And then you wouldn't have to complain aboout it on RV.net!

Maybe it is not so much about the noise but when it happens & the frequency of it happening. Late at night or very early in the morning all sounds seem amplified. It does get irritating when you are trying to sleep & those around you have little consideration about the noise they make.

That was very inconsiderate of him to drop only 1 boot!

Or, maybe he dropped them both at the same exact time from the same exact height???

The last time we went out, I couldn't sleep all night. The guy in the next RV dropped his boot on the floor. BAM. I kept awake all night waiting for the other boot to drop.
