    I have noticed a few times over the last week or so that when I pull in to park, the truck next to me will pull up. Why? Are they afraid I am a peeping tom and gonna watch them in their truck or something?

    That's kind of weird. Doesn't happen to me. I try to offset my windows a little to give the other guy and me a little space. Most drivers seem to do this.

    Are you pulling a refer? Maybe they think it will be quieter that way or something...

    If you have the grass burner exhaust, rather than stacks, it could be because you are gassing them out. . .

    (Or perhaps you just need to hit the shower a little more often):biggrin_2559:

    Because as you begin your overnight stay, he doesn't want to be sitting there looking over at you, or you at him.

    Maybe their nickname is "hottub" and they know you are a hottub critic and they just don't want to give you any ammo to use against them.....it could happen

    Probably privacy mostly. Unless they are a peeping tom and want to adjust their mirrors to peep on you.
