Here’s
my very personalized list of do’s and don’ts based on things I’ve seen.
Don’t bring a dog with you
that barks at anyone who passes by the campsite or when they are left alone or
for no reason at all. If you have a dog, make sure they are trained. You may
love your barking dog, but your neighbors don’t. Also, keep the leash short
when you are passing someone while walking your dog. As many times as you tell
me your dog is safe, I really don’t want him jumping on me. (Recently we had a
dog in the next site that howled every time the owner left the RV until he came
back. Not fun!)
Do take walks and enjoy your location.
Don’t keep lights on
outside your RV all night. I’ve heard that lights around your motor keeps mice
from climbing up and eating wires so that makes sense (though we’ve never had a
problem). Otherwise, you’re shining lights into your neighbors’ windows and
preventing us from seeing the stars.
Do go outside at night
and watch the stars, planets, meteors, and satellites. There are some great
apps out there to know where to look.
Don’t spend all your time in the RV.
Do go to the activities at the park. There are
lots to learn and lots of people to meet.
Don’t monopolize your
fellow campers’ time. Make sure you aren’t the only one talking. And stop talking
when they are trying to walk away.
Do be friendly and spend time comparing
stories.
Don’t drive your RV away from your campsite
without going through a checklist. My checklist is unwritten, but I go through
a list of 10 things I need to do inside the RV before we leave so things won’t
shift as we drive. John has his things-to-do outside.
Do laugh at yourself when you make a mistake.
It happens! (We recently lost the outdoor temperature sensor when I forgot to
bring it in.)
