Proper Etiquette Trailer Travel
Some may argue that trailer travel may be the greatest pastime for Americans. Through it, families can grow closer, friends can be made and new things are experienced. It delivers a sense of adventure that few things can. Imagine waking up in Midland, TX and going to sleep in Apache Junction, AZ. Trailer travel has captured the heart of 8 million Americans, will it capture yours?
There are thousands of RV campgrounds scattered across the U.S. Because every campground has its own set of rules, it is important to familiarize yourself with the campground’s rules. Additionally, there is a basic set of guidelines or rules of etiquette every RVer should follow regardless of the campground.
Consideration for the campgrounds and your fellow campers is one of the biggest factors to be aware of while on the road. Often campers get caught up in the activities of the day that lead into the night and forget to turn down their music. Make sure you are aware of not only the volume of your music but also the volume of those within your party.
All campers need to be mindful of their pets. Pets have a tendency to wander into other campgrounds and get into things they should not get into. Remember to use leashes for dogs and remember to keep cats in your campground. If your dog is a howler or a barker make sure he/she is not left alone too long and do what you can to reduce the noise. Also, it is important to bring bags to pick up after your dog.
It is always necessary to remember after-hours etiquette. Remembering to be respectful of other campers during after-hours will go a long way. If you arrive in the campground late, do what you can do to minimize the noise. Try to avoid opening and closing doors multiple times. Also try to minimize the use of bright lights.
When parking the rule of thumb is to not allow your slideouts or awnings to extend past the hook-ups for sewer or water. Also when parking, take a look at the other campers and determine if they have parked at an angle. If they have parked at an angle join them. Also, before parking determine the best way to park to maximize privacy for both you and your neighbors.
When it’s time to leave it is very important to leave your camping area just as clean or cleaner than it was when you arrived. Use provided garbage cans and dumpsters to dispose of your trash. If you had a fire, make sure it is completely extinguished and no trash is left within the pit. Be aware that many things when burned can release a toxic emission, do not burn these items.
Maybe you’ve thought about joining the 8 million Americans who have embraced the call of the road and now enjoy trailer travel life. Maybe you are among the 8 million. Wherever you find yourself today, with trailer travel you can find yourself just about anywhere you want tomorrow. So what are you waiting for? Adventure is calling!
