Trailer lights on while camping, what gives?

What's the big deal?
We always set up 15 of these around our site. They are LED and hardly use any electricity.
EVERYONE LOVES THEM.
They also comment on the music we play at night from our outside speakers.

That is a matter of opinion, 'cause i'm glad that I don't camp next to you with all that.

If you need to understand why they leave the lights on why don't you stop and ask HIM instead of posting here? No one here knows his reasons.

Let's go camping.

A Lot of people obviously!!
Have you gone over & asked them if they know the lights are on? If they do, the you can ask them Why.

^^^^^^^^^^I dunno, I blocked someone once, but then I couldn't see some threads. So I unblocked her and now when I see a post from her that I don't like, I just consider the source, take a couple deep breaths, and try not to too upset. :)

But there are some people that I've considered blocking, but honestly I only remember a couple of posters, and rarely remember anyone's handle that annoys me. One of the bennies of getting old. :)

Howard, that evening you blocked that crazy misguided woman, was one of my favorites, since being on this board.:B I am not a person to LOL at my puter, but darn glad I had nothing in my mouth, when reading that exchange between you and her.:E

On subject, I don't mind other campers lighting, if they are not shining their truck lights in my face. I don't want to listen to other campers music or tv! Oh ya, loud Harleys, in camp, on my not want list too.

I have to admit, I put a flasher in my 7-pin at home in the driveway, after reading about it, just to give it a test. :C I do keep a flasher in the FW now, just for an emergency.

Ah, maybe some other people worked that many hours or more and their idea of a good time is some peace and quiet while camping. Who get to decide which one has precedence?

Of course the other side of the coin is that maybe people think you should realize that you're being inconsiderate without being asked. I know if I'm playing my music loud that it could be annoying to other people who don't share my tastes. I don't have to be told that I'm being inconsiderate, I know it without being told. Just one of those things that you have to know, not have to be told.

Holy cow some of you guys are crotchety!!!

I have a flasher for my trailer! Use it once in a while when we are out having fun. I have more people come and ask me how I have it working than have EVER asked me to turn them off!! Matter of fact NO ONE has ever asked me to turn them off!! They go off when it is time for bed!

WE even watch movies and football games on our outside TV (GO DUCKS!!!!!) and have had half the campground over asking for scores or sitting and watching with us! NO ONE HAS EVER ASKED US TO STOP!!!

WE even play Cornhole at night! Put lights inside the holes for something to aim at NO ONE HAS ASKED US TO STOP!!

IF all you do is complain on an anonymous message board and say how rude people are then maybe you need to get out and ASK SOMEONE TO STOP!! You just might make a new friend and have a cold beverage handed to you for your trouble.IF you want to act like MR.Wilson (Dennis the Menace) then you deserve what you get.

I am in a campground that has 2 relatively new Artic Fox trailers parked across from each other. Both have had their trailer running lights on all day and now into the night.

What is up with that?

I can understand having the ability to have those lights switched in case of emergencies on the side of the highway, kind of like sticking a turn signal flasher into the trailer pig tail to make the tail lights flash in an emergency.

I just don't get having those lights on all the time.

Are they from Canada? We noticed it at some of the big parks at Myrtle Beach. Every single one that we saw were from Canada. Maybe it's to let other Canadians know they are there...lol But seriously, they were all Canadians.

Wow, The op asked why they do this, was not complaining at all and you go off the deep end. I think you should take your own chill pills.:S
