    With all of the craziness in the world right now (in addition to the “normal craziness”) we thought it would be a great time for all of us to reset and get a grip on the spoken and unspoken rules of RV Camping. This includes, RV Camping in Campgrounds, Parks, Resorts, and in some cases even boondocking. Instead of telling you what to do, from experience in the crazy things we have seen, we are going to share our ideas of what NOT to do while RV Camping. Some are funny, some are serious, and some will have you seriously questioning where we came up with the idea in the first place. We are just saying that these are things that we have seen or heard ourselves, or things that other families have shared with us that they have seen or heard. Some are quite mind blowing and many are just plain disgusting! No matter what you read, these are things happening in the world that you just simply must know before going RV Camping!
