Living in an RV gives you all the comforts of home… yet it is not without its challenges!
When you decide to stay at a campground, 90% of the time, you make a reservation in advance. You reserve a spot that is your ‘home away from home’ until the end of your stay.
However, there are many who are not yet accustomed to the unwritten laws of the RV lifestyle.
Here’s my top four things to consider:
Please keep the noise to a minimum. While staying at a campground, you are getting away from the rest of the world. You left home and hearth behind to enjoy the great outdoors, not to hear the blaring thump, thump, thump of the neighbors music in the site next door! Most campgrounds have quiet hours, so please be considerate!
Please keep your pets on a leash and clean up after them! You will find that most campgrounds require you to keep your dog on a leash, and that you are to clean up after they’ve done their business. However, those who disregard these rules, make it an unenjoyable experience for others! Trust me, no one wants to step outside their RV and land in a pile of poo.
Do not walk in someone elses campsite. We expect to be able to enjoy our site without having a complete stranger using our site as a walk way to get from one place to another! I don’t come to your home and walk through your yard, so please don’t walk through my campsite!
Be friendly and courteous to your neighbors. At one time, we have all started as beginners. We need to keep in mind that others are just starting their RV adventure and may struggle from time to time! Perhaps they are still getting used to backing up their travel trailer… or find it difficult to set up camp! By being friendly and offering help to a neighbor who might be struggling, not only do you help them feel less stressed, but you have created a bond with a fellow RVer, thus making the whole camping experience a lot more enjoyable for everybody!
I would love to hear if you have any unwritten rules of the RV lifestyle that would helpful!
Until next time,
Peace, love and safe travels!
