RE: Ten Commandments For Campers

Foxyladies · Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM

At the RV show that we went to, I found this in a newspaper about Chocorua Camping Village in Great Vacation TIMES from Tamworth, NH. Enjoy.........

1. Thou shall not laugh at thy neighbor backing into his campsite; no matter how
many trees he hits.

2. Thou shall not offer your assistance with parking thy neighbor s rig unti his wife has stomped off in frustration.

3. Thou shall not ask for a tour of thy neighbors new camper before he gets parked in his campsite.

4. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor s trailer, nor his truck, nor his lights, nor his campsite, etc.

5. Thou shall not ask thy neighbor if he got a good price on his three hundred thousand dollar rig.

6.Thou shall keep a straight face when thy neighbor exaggerates his gas mileage on his tow vehicle.

7. Thou shall not strike up a conversation with thy neighbor while he is cooking steaks on the grill, even if it is right outside your window.

8. Thou shall not steal thy neighbor s firewood, neither shall thy offer to buy it.

9. Thou shall not start up thy diesel engine before 10 a.m. even if thy neighbor s dog kept you awake all night barking.

10. Thou shall not use corncobs or sandpaper on thy neighbor s dog; even if he does his business in your campsite.

FoxyladiesWhat a great list![8D]

Camping Coxes · Jan 13, 2003, 05:12 PM

FoxyladiesI have a few to add!

Thou shall not leave thy gray water hose to drain on the ground, no matter how much of a pain it is to empty said gray water tank.

Thou shall not let thy offspring wander into everyone else s campsite all weekend, nor shall they adopt another family at another campsite, nor shall they eat all the munchies at said other campsite.

Thou shall keep thy choice of music to a low volume, enjoyable only to thineself s ears.

Thou shall never, ever, under any circumstances, throw thy nasty, filthy, stinky cigarette carcasses on the ground for the squirrels or small children to pick up. [:@]

FoxyladiesWhat a great list. I need to copy these.
How about.....

Thou shalt not crank up thy camper roof without triple checking that the roof latches are unhooked. (Been there- done that[

])

Thou shalt not forget that canvas doth not stop sound from carrying to other campsites. (A PU neigbor kept us awake with his snoring all night[: (] )

Thou shalt not flood campsites other than thy own with super bright halogen lights.
(Hard to sleep when your canvas is aglow with neighbors lights.)

Is " who s your mommy?" ok?

Cadeuses · Jan 15, 2003, 03:48 PM

rednekrubbrduckI would like to put forth a motion to remove Commandment # 21 in it s entirety. Natural human behavior should not be stifled.

I motion that an ammendment to C #21 rephrase it to read:

" Thou shalt keep thy night time moaning confined to within oneselfs earshot. Discretion shalt be taken in choosing what is to be moaned"

Have thyself a spiritual day![
