If you drive too fast in a caravan park and hit a child , Gavin will be the least of your worries .
Now , it wouldn ’ t be a problem if this person was on site to move their vehicle for you . There have also been times we ’ ve seen the owner of the vehicle simply emerge from their van to observe your actions without any thought as to the difficulties their car is creating for you .
There will always be instances in which you cannot help but restrict access to your neighbour ’ s site . In these circumstances , you need to be observant and , if you see someone pull up to park at the other site , go out immediately and offer to move your car for them .
LEAVING THE LIGHTS ON
Modern caravans are fitted with very bright LED outdoor lights so you can see what you ’ re doing when living outdoors after sundown . Some of these lights are so bright that they can easily light up the site next door . It ’ s important to remember that your neighbours may not stay up as late as you and may want to go to bed . Your lights shining into their van may very well disturb them .
Recently , we were camped across from a van that had a massive LED light bar on the front and the owner had a habit of leaving it on all night for ‘ security ’. This thing could burn retinas from a mile away , it was that bright . If you must leave a light on for security reasons or to light your doorway if you ’ re going out at night , perhaps keep it to just one light or , better still , invest in a battery-powered sensor light that can be placed in a position that doesn ’ t upset others around you .
