If I were Cracker Barrel's management, I would permanently close down the nice RV parking spaces so that the RV whiners would quit complaining.....Another RV perk that is taken away by RVers.......

Okay,
How do you all feel about someone like me parking my chevy silverado crew cab towing a motorcycle on an open utility trailer in these precious spots????? When we went to Daytona two years ago and were pulling the motorcycle on our utility trailer we parked in an RV spot at CB, and to my dismay when we got out of the truck and were seen by a RV'er in a class A, low and behold we got a look from them that said, "Look at these low life's parking here",...


Don't feel too bad. Some Class A owners look at everybody that way. IMHO, if you're too big to use a regular car space, then those RV spaces are for you. The gripe here is people who use them for no apparent reason.

Following BroncoRver's logic, how about everyone close down all RV-designated parking: restaurants, rest stops, no WalMart parking/overnighting, Flying J's, Pilots and all truck stops???
Cracker Barrell has been nice enough to put in designated RV spots, mindless, shelfish car drivers take them, and the RVers are the whiners? Your logic eludes me.

How are you going to enjoy your dinner worrying about getting towed? I do agree with the idea tho.
by the time someone complains to CB management them most likely will ask inside the restaurant who owns the rig. If they call a wrecker service you'll have more than enough time to eat, pay, and laugh at the suckers in the cars before the wrecker gets there.


You might well come out to find your truck keyed and tires slashed.

Or, you might get a few gallons of Cam 2 in the tank. I bet the truck will run great on it...about 108 octane, and lots of LEAD in it. Enjoy that bill.

Or maybe a quart of concentrated ammonia down the cowl vent...have fun when you turn on the heater!

Your logic makes no sense at all. Yep, these are going away, and it is the RVers fault. The car owners sure arent the whiners...it's the RVers!

Its not the business' fault that these places are occasionally taken by other vehicles, but as long as the RV whiners continue to whine to the management, the management is going to drop these perks faster than you can go complain. These businesses are NOT in the business to patrol their parking lots for "improper" parking.

They provided us with nice parking spaces...if inconsiderate people in cars use these, then MOVE ON! Get over it.....

The last post about this was closed down because of some who provided answers about doing CRIMES to cars who parked in the free spaces, and this thread apparently has taken that turn.

Get a grip people!
