RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
I'm sorry to hear about the fawns failing. Those rolling walkers are great. When Herself needed a walker post-surgery she picked out one that she called her 4 wheel drive. She could take it anywhere and loved it.
So what are your book titles? I'm wanting some fresh reading materials.

RE: Seeking Simple RV Recipes
It's even better if you make the gravy from scratch, from the cooked sausage drippings. Little more time consuming but, well worth it.
Sofive0’s “Basic Sausage Gravy & Biscuits” sounds great!

RE: Family Reunion 2022
Hot dogs, chicken livers and dates: nice!
Cardiovascular surgeon in the family??:B :B
Some great suggestions posted. Here's hoping bacon is less than Oh My Gawd!!!/lb before party time.
We don't have cholesterol issues in our family. To prepare for this annual event, I usually buy up various brands of bacon throughout the year and freeze it. Sticker shock won't hit us this year because it's already in the freezer at cheaper prices. :W

RE: Seeking Simple RV Recipes
Sausage and Kraut
Serves 3-4
1 lb of kielbasa/smoked sausage/whatever sausage you prefer.
1 jar of sauerkraut
dark brown sugar
In a cast iron fry pan sear the sausage. Lower the heat and pour the kraut on top of the sausage. Sprinkle brown sugar on top to taste. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
Option: you can also add leftover cooked potatoes to the pan.

RE: Good News
Congratulations on all counts. Glad your wife had the knee surgery. Those procedures provide a lot of relief. Welcome to Winnie; she looks like a Winner.

RE: Family Reunion 2022
Great ideas: BLT bowls and the grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches.
We really enjoy the candied bacon but then we really enjoy jerky.
We're also doing "Killed Lettuce" with hot bacon grease/vinegar and sugar dressing.

RE: Family Reunion 2022
Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers
I add fresh chopped chive to the cheese and sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of the bacon
Thank you. I'll add it to the menu. It'll go well with the jalapeño jelly option if folks don't want the usual sauces.

RE: Family Reunion 2022
Old but delicious
Wrap a medium shrimp in a half strip of bacon.
Thanks for the reminder. I've put it on the menu!
Bacon needs no assistance. Adding to another food is just plain wrong!
When it's just us guys we'd probably agree with you. But there will be ladies present and they like to dress things out.

RE: Trek Toad
We have a 50 cc scooter type motorcycle we use as a toad on shorter trips to just gad about in cities. It weighs less than 200 lbs and it can travel on a hitch carrier.
For longer trips we'll take the old Corolla on a trailer.

My unaffordable runaround dream machine is a golf cart stuffed with lithium batteries. And a pair of 500 watt solar panels as a canopy roof.
(sigh)
Will it have a/c and heat?

RE: Camping Courtesies
Pick a campground that matches your camping style.
For example, if you don't like the sound of generators, pick a campground that bans or limits the use of generators. And if you must use a generator, pick a campground that has no restrictions on generator use.
Don't choose a campground that doesn't match your camping style and then complain about people camping according to the rules or ignore the rules and do as you please.
Good point!
Follow the speed limits in the parks. I know 5 mph is just agony to do but there are small kids playing at times and it helps keep the dust down too. Just stop being in a rush to get to the exit.
Yes!

Dutch Ovens in cast iron and aluminum. Collect them too, 23 in all. My ancient Wagners, Griswolds and other antiques stay home but the Lodge go with me.

RE: Camping Courtesies
I think there are three types of "inconsiderate people". Those who don't care. Those who don't know. And those who do it purposely.
The last, nothing will change. They will always be inconsiderate.
The second, they just need someone to give them a polite heads up - whether in person or through threads like this.
The first, they are the ones that need multiple non-aggressive reminders. They are likely to get defensive if you approach them at the time. But enough reminders at other times MAY get through to them.
Summed up nicely.
Some friends of ours camped at an SP. They were literally pestered by this woman who kept wanting them to change sites so her daughter could park in the spot. The park is first come, first serve. After the third encounter with this woman our friends got the park ranger involved. She was warned to leave other campers alone or be expelled. In that case our friends felt she had emotional problems. This really doesn't fall into any of the three categories you mentioned. It's just another example of things that can happen.

RE: Camping Courtesies
It's not the age (generation) of the idividual, it's the times we live in (era). I've witnessed 70+ year olds being just as self-centered as young folks, and young folks who have been extremely courteous.
BINGO.
Ok, I just want to add patience and understanding on both sides. And maybe, if you have that , you can take the time to explain and teach people some courtesies. People don't know what they don't know.
One of the objectives of RV.Net is to educate new RVers. Many people ignore campground rules, courtesies or common sense once they leave home. We see it all the time.
The experienced have always educated the newcomers. RVing has some common sense courtesies that others may never had to learn. This thread is in keeping with one of the purposes of RV.Net: Education.

RE: Camping Courtesies
If you will be repeatedly getting in and out of your vehicle throughout your stay, silence the beeps.This one is SO annoying! Either leave your vehicle unlocked or press the button on the door.
Many cars with keyless entry don't have that option, the car locks (and beeps) automatically when you step away -- the beeps can be silenced (I've silenced mine), but it requires wading through the menus to find the option.
If you go camping a lot and get in and out of your car a lot, it's worth wading through convoluted menus.
It was the first thing I did when I got my durango - then I set the clock and my radio presets.
Yep.
So that it doesn't get lost in discussion, this one is REALLY IMPORTANT:
Don't take up two (or more) parking spaces with your RV when visiting towns.
RVers are guests in other places. We represent the RVing community. In addition to getting ticketed, we are creating our own bad PR.

Camping Courtesies
As travel season gears up, perhaps its time to again list those courtesies for the sake of new RVers. Feel free to contribute to the list of courteous manners.
Follow campground rules.Keep your pet under control and pick up after them.Don't play your tv or music too loud at your campsite. Not everyone likes your taste in programs.Avoid walking through another campsite if at all possible. Go around. Don't take up two (or more) parking spaces with your RV when visiting towns.Don't ask someone to trade campsites with you. It takes a couple of hours to set up and take down camp. Unless you're willing to pay them $100/hour, don't ask.
Feel free to add more courtesies.
