oh yeah... I can't handle very well with noisy campers and don't think any of us can do handle them than me..

some years ago we camp in Baja in our vanagon... quiet, nice.. and then in the middle of the night a big californian pickup truck towing a big boat came in... noise, generator full blast etc etc...

the next day I almost put a couple of sugar cube in their generator while they are out fishing.. but I didn't do with the help of my wife's strong arguments ...

luckily they move out in same evening because there are no fish to catch...

:-)
