The Joys of Rving November 01, 2024, 04:42:15 pm One of the joys of camping. Newly arrived RV neighbors next to us used a very loud leaf blower for 2 hours to include the grounds and the paved area. Finally they're done. Nope. Now it's another 2 hours doing the same work on an adjoining campsite for their soon to be arriving family. Finally they're done. Nope. The neighbors on our other side decide it's time to blow their leaves and such for at least another hour. Now it's quiet 🤫 until the next leaf falls. 😂 4 Likes
Re: The Joys of Rving Reply #1 – November 01, 2024, 07:51:53 pm Part of the joy from my three weeks in New England was piles of fall leaves all over the campsites, something I dearly miss from my youth.Some fussy RVers waste hours pushing the leaves elsewhere? Ha ha ha ha ha, how clueless can they be, the wind will undo their efforts. Can’t even imagine wasting my limited storage on a leaf blower. Almost worth getting a cheap rake and helping nature undo their work. 3 Likes

Re: The Joys of Rving Reply #4 – November 03, 2024, 06:22:36 am We do minimum raking, maybe did it once in 4 years and 30 different sites. I have thought of taking the cordless leaf blower to get leaves off of the awning, but so far just use a broom. 1 Likes
Re: The Joys of Rving Reply #5 – November 03, 2024, 12:19:09 pm We take a battery leaf bower to local beach campsites known to have pads covered with windblown sand.Morro Bay State Park comes to mind. I wish we had taken it along last month in southern Utah to blow out the red dust that permeates every crack and crevice in the Jeep.Larry

It only took a park's weed-whacking of our sewer hose once for us not to want the grounds crew to have any reason to ever be anywhere near our coach
Re: The Joys of Rving Reply #7 – November 03, 2024, 10:20:48 pm Never stay long enough to meet a leaf blower but the 18v Ryobi system is the way to go. I have handheld fans, impact wrench, air compressor, and flashlight with a few batteries in storage at all times. No room for a leaf blower!
Re: The Joys of Rving Reply #8 – November 04, 2024, 05:42:03 pm We carry a Ryobi battery blower and string trimmer, ...etc."Leaf blower??? I had a half-size lawn rake, used it once or twice. May still be where I left it unless LazyBones2 disposed of it!
