We are camped long-term - well, long term for us anyway at at campground. We are going to talk about the rules of etiquette for campgrounds. Luckily, we haven't seen any bad campers where we are, but we have seen them in our travels. Sometimes its just a matter of realizing there are rules, and other times there are people who just don't want to follow them.
Tony has an RV review to share with us, another world premier of a brand new travel trailer.
