Fri Jul 03, 15 6:29 pm Is it really okay to run your generator all day?! |
|
|
Today at the ES a guy parks his RV behind me and then cranks up the generator which runs all day long! Every time I returned to my vehicle it was running with the doors and windows closed and the A/C running full blast. Apparently there's no rule to prevent that but what about common courtesy and respect for others?
Definitely harshed my day. _________________ Slack Lines Suck! |

yea, he is bit of a knucklehead to go camping at the ES but this is really a 1st world problem, so hard to get too upset. i mean it is the 4th of July and Independence Day means you can do whatever you want, right? |

Did he have a dog in his RV? If so, he gets a pass in my opinion. Most RV fridges run on LP or Electric or I would have guessed he likes his beer real cold. _________________ KB4C!!!!!!!!!!!!

Admittedly I'm accustomed to the peace and quiet of a cg where everyone uses solar power and use of a generator is not considered kosher. But then again the ES is not a cg. Just not into the "big city" noisy environment. I should move to Pistol River for the summer. _________________ Slack Lines Suck! |

Lot #1 across the street. If people want to run their generator all day - lot #1 is the place. Away from other people. Problem solved. _________________ Slack Lines Suck! |

You went to the busiest spot in the gorge on the busiest weekend of the year and you complain that it's noisy? |

Did you happen to ask the person running the generator?
Or, do you prefer to post your sniveling on a semi-anonymous forum?
Why don't you just go kite?
I bet you can't hear it from the water |

I bet you can't hear it from the water | Frankly, I don't enjoy confrontations. Never did see anyone outside the RV anyway. Just PO'd that (some) people have no respect for others. Not a perfect world. 'Nuff said - I'm moving on. Have a nice day! _________________ Slack Lines Suck! |
