Generators seem to cause short circuits in some people's heads.
We were camped at large commercial
campground in the
Kimberley in the generator area. At that stage I had bleep ty batteries and inadequate solar and had to run the generator during the day to bring up the batteries. That's why we chose the generator area.
I set up the generator in the bush at the end of the 15 metre lead, the furthest away from anyone that I could get it - further away from others than if we had left it on our site. We went for a walk and on our return the generator had been shifted back to under our van.
When we checked out I mentioned this incident to the receptionist. Another bloke who was also checking out said, "Yes, that was me. Why do you bother coming out here and bringing that sort of crap with you?" or words to that effect. "Keep your own noise on your own site".
Amazingly, he had been camped across the way from us and had brought the generator closer to himself, just to make sure that I enjoyed maximised inconvenience to myself, AND, as a despiser of generators, had booked himself into the generator area (there was plenty of room in the other areas).
I didn't bother to enter into a discussion - you cannot have an intelligent conversation with a person who thinks like that.
