Had a great experience during one Qld trip.
Camped at the Longreach riverside campground. Fairly busy, but people respected each other’s space. Came back from shopping to find a Ford Transit m/h had squeezed in between us and our neighbour… on our generator side.
He was so close he couldn’t extend his awning. Just enough room to walk past his open door.
After packing away our goods, I fired up the genny — with the exhaust directly opposite their door.
It took about 30 seconds before we had a knock on our door, a red-faced chap demanding we shut down the generator.
I calmly explained that we were having battery problems and needed to run it for 3~4 hours to recharge.
He stamped off & slammed his door. Three and a half hours later I shut it off.
Next day they went off, and upon returning parked alongside our next door neighbour on the other side. He had a Coaster towing a trailer with a soundproof compartment for his generator. We had discussed the performance of the previous evening, as he had unavoidably witnessed the exchange at our door.
The Transit had parked very close to our neighbour, so he removed his generator from its compartment and placed it at his front bumper — on the Transit’s side — then knocked on his door to explain that he was having battery problems and would be running his generator until 9:00pm.
True to his words, at 8:59pm the generator fell silent.
Next day the Transit moved 50m down the park to an area which had been empty right from the day he arrived.
We just hang our empty hangers over the laundry tap…
