We also like to burn our trash including plastic bottles in the fire ring and leave our scare lights on all night. We yell and swear a lot also. Hanging our underwear on a clothes line stretched across the front of our site also is an ice breaker along with idling our diesel for at least 30 minutes before pulling out to run and get more firecrackers.
There are lots of ways to break the ice with your neighbors.... 
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now that's just plain funny!!

Babysit a smoker full of BBQ ribs. The scent alone will make your neighbors float over to make a comment. It's usually "when's dinner?"
Another guaranteed ice breaker is to project a kid's movie on the side of the camper at night. Kids are like magnets to our campsite, along with their parents.

My wife will usually just walk around topless. You wouldn't believe how many people stop by our campsite just to say Hi. Hey, it's better than me running around in a speedo. Actually most people camping are pretty friendly. Just ask them about their RV or tow vehicle and it usually takes off from there. Cold beer helps.

I take my 3 dogs for a walk around the campground and let them poop right at folks front door and leave it there. They usually find me !!
Actually I don't, but I have seen some others do do .

Some people put out 4 chairs instead of 2 and they always seem to have people in their chairs talking to them. My DH has a Honda Ruckus scooter and if he's able to ride it in the park (it's street legal) lots of people ask him about it. Then as they walk by, they stop to talk to both of us. We also like rallies for that reason. You meet people and then keep in touch. Have some cards printed up with your name, home city and state and email address. (we don't give out addresses or phone numbers). I write on the back of their cards if they give us one where met met them and something about them that will allow me to remember them.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

Easy, just get a class B. People are often curious about what they look like inside and how we manage to live in one for many weeks. #1 question always is "What kind of mileage does that thing get?" Other B people like to compare each other's layout. A great ice-breaker.
Have even had people knock on the sliding door when we were inside with A/C going on a hot day, blinds lowered against the sun. We give a lot of tours and meet nice folks who are thinking about getting one. Last trip a guy followed us around the Costco parking lot and parked along side to ask about Class B life.
