People should always try to take others into consideration and do their best to be respectful of those around them. Unfortunately this is often not the case. As far as different ideas in camping - TV/ No TV, Generator no Genterator, etc. like I said before it takes all kinds. I would be willing to bet someone who backpacks and camps in a tent would find our buses and Westys as silly as we see those huge Land Yachts. As a good friend of mine pointed out to me just a few minutes ago - sure dogs, radios, kids, and generators can be annoying - but I also would bet that others find the sound of a sliding door slamming at 3am to be annoying and rude too :) At last years winter campout we were descended on by a troup of boys scouts. Was I a bit annoyed at first - sure I was - so we moved. Doesn't mean I go around complaining about Boy Scouts all the time.
