This allows for more planning, some of the sites we have won't take larger rigs.
I was accepted to workamp at a place that informed me "Because your rig is so small, we have a nice spot behind the other rigs to put you so we need you to arrive at least a day earlier than the others."
I wrote back that I needed a site where I could come and go at will. I don't tow a car and drive my rig to go shop for provisions.
Incredibly they wrote back "But we can squeeze your rig in here, and you can just ask the others to take you places and that way you don't have to drive your rig. "
So I had to cancel my "acceptance" as I found it unacceptable that I would be parked without the ability to come and go at will. If the forest is on fire, I want to leave, not be hunting all over creation to find the drivers of the rigs blocking me in.
They wrote me several more times trying to get me to change my mind. All they had to do was offer me a site where I had access to the road... like everyone else.
I don't like to burden others with my choice of lack of car. I prefer to be independent and just drive my rig or ride my bicycle where I need to go without making demands on others.
Where I am staying now there are 3 people without cars that are always asking others to take them here and yonder, they have encouraged me to ask for rides too.Telling me who is "easy" to ask. But I explain that I can either ride my bike to the grocery store (I do too) or take my rig where I need to go. I think it's unfair to require others to be my free taxi.
Sure, if someone invites me somewhere, I might say yes and go. I also offer to buy gas or lunch or something to be gracious. But I am not going to bang on doors and ask others to take me places because I don't have a car.
Back to workamping... I think everyone is entitled to a spot they can get in and out of without making everyone else move. ;D
