  Recreational vehicle camping is a popular form of vacationing or travel around the United States, with a wide network of campgrounds set up for RV owners touring the country. To make your stay at the RV parks more enjoyable, there are certain guidelines you should follow.
  
  

Parking the Rig

• Though it can be entirely clear how to park your RV at each campsite because of yellow or gravel lines or even concrete walls, other times you must park in areas that are simply between other RVs and the sewage and water hookup points. It is important not to have your awning or overhang encroach on your neighbor's property, so look around at your neighbors to see whether all the rigs are angled a particular way with their awnings pointing in one direction. Campgrounds vary in dimension, so there are always variations in parking patterns.
  
  

Take Care of Pets

• If you travel with pets in your RV, make sure they don't disturb anyone else at your campsite. Don't let dogs bark excessively and keep them on leashes when they are outside. Also, pick up after your dogs and cats when they defecate outside. When dumping cat litter and other fecal matter from pets, make sure it is double-bagged so the smell doesn't disturb anyone who is staying nearby or sharing the same campsite trashcan.
  
  

No Trespassing

• When occupying a campground, stay on your campsite and don't wander onto other occupied sites. This is sort of an unspoken rule of etiquette for RV sites. The campsite becomes an extension of your mobile home and temporary property. Treat another occupied site as you would walking onto a neighbor's property. Knock on the campsite owners' door or call to them from off their site if they are outside, asking whether you can come into their area.
