I am in no way saying that I'm the most experienced camper in the world, but have you ever noticed how easy it is to find brand new camper(s)? A couple years ago we were camping Kentucky Lake Dam campground. Across from our camp a 5th wheel pulls up and after many attempts, finally were able to get parked and unhooked. I kept an eye out, just in case they needed some help. They were an elderly couple and I could tell that they might have had some camping experience, but seemed a bit out of their element. I took our dog out for a walk and stopped by for a visit, as they also had a dog. We chatted awhile and I found that they had just purchased their 5th wheel and actually had just picked it up after leaving their truck with the RV dealer so the hitch could be installed. Anyway, on Sunday we were all packing up and I noticed they were having some issues getting hooked up. First problem was connecting the 5th wheel hitch. I walked down and showed them how to jack up the trailer after putting the rear stabilizers up. Next, the wife was in the cab, as the husband was trying to give her directions. It was like the blind leading the blind. I asked if they needed some help and she welcomed it. I prepared the hitch in the truck and showed the husband how to operate the hitch. He really paid attention as it seems the RV dealer failed to show him how to use it. They pulled up to the campground dump which was in the middle of the campground and again, they were having some issues. I showed them how to dump the gray and black water and was walking back down to my camper when I took a last glance, praying they would make it back home with no problems, when I looked up and seen their antenna still up. As they are pulling away I'm yelling for them the stop and waving my arms like crazy. She finally saw me and stopped. Out of breath, I tell her that the antenna is still up. She looks at her husband and tells him, "I told you to put that down". I felt so sorry for him, as he looked like a puppy that had just been scalded. That is the last time I seen them, so I can only hope that with age comes wisdom and one day one of them would be helping out another first time camper. Do you have any first time camper stories? :icon_smile_bbq:
