Yep… that’s exactly what I was thinking. You were ripped off. Under the circumstances you described, anyone with common sense would believe your site was occupied. Jfkmk - my comment about being accused of being a thief was in direct response to these posts. They are at what I took offense. As for the surge protector - I would agree with you, except for the fact that we do not know WHO tried to remove it. It could have been an employee of the park who thought it was left behind, then was told to leave it. We don't know the person who took the blocks was the person who tried to take the surge protector. I understand that things appear to be very clear for many. I have just found that without actual facts, it's better to give the benefit of the doubt than to go off with an accusation and then be humiliated when it turns out not to be that clear cut. What are all these benefit-of-the-doubt needers doing with all this merchandise they are taking from the campsites of others they believe (hope?) have been left unoccupied? When the owner of the goods returns, are you rushing over to their site to explain why you took their things while at the same time vehemently apologizing and begging them to not call the police? Shouldn’t the lost and found bins of campground offices be overflowing with leveling blocks, 50 to 30 amp dog bones, water pressure regulators, door mats, extension cords, grills, chairs, hammocks (yes, we padlock our beloved Pawley’s Island hammock), bikes, water hoses, coolers and whirligigs? Do you think you are doing the campground host a favor by getting a head start on prepping the site for the next camper? If so, are you also taking away fallen branches, returning the picnic table to its proper position, raking and cleaning the site, and taking the tag off the post that indicates the site is occupied for two more days? Or are you just taking gear? Are you also dumpster diving?368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leveling block theft

We do not have any issues with smells. With my family, it's usually a shorter wait at the bathhouse than in our own RV. I prefer my own toilet, but if we are all trying to get ready at the same time, I won’t hesitate to use the bathhouse. Just properly maintain your tanks and you won’t have any problems with smell.512Views0likes0Comments
