That Homelite you bought is about the smallest I've seen too. I have that same Homelite to blow the leaves away from the campsite in the fall.

We have a couple of the expanding rakes in our RV TOOL BOX. They fold up to a pretty small footprint and work great. Momabear usually gets carried away and I catch her out in the park road raking away haha...

Just start your 6K watt construction generator before using the blower. No one will ever hear it

Do they make a Tim the Tool Man Taylor model? Yup, the turbo model that would blow gravel and small rocks into a pile across the road? Cigarette butts into orbit?

Thanks for the replys, I'll try the Ryobi and the Mini Mighty Blower, I've got some Ryobi 18vdc tools maybe the batteries would be the same. I didn't look at Walmart because I didn't think about garden stuff there and there isn't one within 30 miles of our house. I like the one we have for blowing the night blooming jasmine and azalea blooms off the deck and blowing off the floor in my garage and a couple of other places but never ever, would I take it in the MoHo, never.
I don't blow off stuff near our property line because the gardners that care for the dirt yard next door, blow the leaves from the trees into our yard and the dust from their dirt into the air and all over our house. The DW finally got them to understand what they were doing and they are a lot more careful now, I neither of us speak spanish but some how her cool calm and collected demeanor prevailed where my impatience failed. Sugar and flies...
I used to blow stuff off with my shop vac but I have to wear hearing protection to do that and the DW would never drag it thru her house to blow off the deck, or pull it around the yard.

I have a small electric one I use to blow out the garage in the Toy Hauler when camping in the Desert. Works Great.

The battery powered Black and Decker 120 mph, 145 cfm 18 volt sweeper is shown at home depot stores for $74.97. Just a thought. Maybe it is cheaper elsewhere. This is not a sale price.

I would be on you like a duck on a June Bug if you started up a leaf blower next to me in a CG. This is one of the rudest things I have heard yet about campers. You go out camping to enjoy nature and then crank up a loud blower to get rid of all the nature and blow the dust and whatever onto someone else. What, you don't get enough of this at home? I know I have my share of leaf blowers around the neighborhood every weekend, why on earth would I want them while camping?
Good grief people - use a rake if you are so disturbed by LEAVES in a camprgound. It is at least quiet if not eco-friendly. You do realize leaves are fertilizer for the grass you want to kill with your patio mats, don't you? When the grass is gone, you will complain about the dirt.
I think you've all been cooped up too long for the winter. Chill out and give us all a break from your lawn equipment.

My little B & D blower makes less noise than the built in vacuum in my trailer. I have about had it with those that think they are the only ones on earth that know the right way to camp. Talk about needing to chill out.
