Interesting subject, and I, being a newby, am very interested. I?m a little puzzled, and have a question or two.
First, my question. I have mulled it over, and have had no complaints, so far. We make it with just about every situation, except bugs, flies, and particularly mosquitoes. We don?t make it, very well with mosquitoes! We start our trips very early and arrive very early, as compared to others.
If there are bugs, I, carefully about wind, fog the grass outside our entry door. (If there is wind, I don?t do it. No point to it.) Then, right after hooking up, put up an ultraviolet bug zapper. It makes crackling noises, as it fries mosquitoes and flies. I have watched others, to see if there is a negative reaction. None, so far.
My system is very effective for making our campsite comfortable, bug wise. In case there are others, for some distance, they lose their bugs as well. I understand that bugs will come quite a ways to visit our ultraviolet light.
My question: So, how do you feel about bug killen campers, nearby?
Not sure where the generator complaints are coming from. Just haven?t run into it, so far. In a commercial campground with hookups, I haven?t come across anyone running a generator. ??
Have a few dry-camping nights, but no one nearby enough to bother me.
Haven?t done a Walmart, yet. Don?t know if a generator is offensive there, but suspect it might be. Is this the source of the complaints?
Made a couple of long runs, covering distance as expeditiously as we could, without ruining the trip. (Like K.C. Kan to Boise in 72 hours.) Stayed at Flying J, road side rest stops, and similar. Lots of generators running. In fact, that was the dominate sound. Found it reassuring - safety wise. Slept like a baby, between two long-haul rigs, their generators and ours purring in unison. Anyone ever try Flying J, or a four hour nap at a rest stop?
Not making an argument, here. Just wondering where the generator problem comes from. How big a problem is it?
