Anti-RV "No Overnight Parking" bill in Maine Legislature

[Michael Brody]

As a Maine camper for the last 20 years, I would like to suggest a reason for the legislation.

Judi and I stay at Saltwater Farms Campground in Thomaston, 7 miles south of Rockland. Thereis a Blues Festival, Lobster Festival, and Boat & Home Show during July and August, as well as many other events.

I am embarassed to admit I RV when I see the local Walmart filled with RVs camping with awnings out, levelers down, barbecues and chairs out, etc. The abuse of an invitation to stay quietly overnite by those who camp for days I am sure is partially responsible for this legislation.

The slobs who dump their tanks and refuse in the parking lots and abuse the system are to blame.

Campgrounds in Maine have been rocked the past few years due to the economy and particularly fuel costs.

If you avoid the state due to possible legislation that you don't like, its your loss.
