Just in case you didn't hate RVs enough...

My thoughts exactly. I’m just not sure if I’m running over those triangles as I pull in or I’m getting out and moving them aside first. Might depend on how tired I am and what kind of day I had dealing with asshats like that earlier in the day. Ahh fuck, I’m just running them over.

Bed is at the back

Are you talking about the camper? Momentum is a toyhauler brand. The back is a garage, bed is up front.

[-]

N3kus@reddit

Lol, most 5th wheels have a bed up front anyway. The rear is either the garage or living room space, sometimes kitchen area.

Reefer on start/stop, interior fan on high but no a/c so apu starts up and stops every 20 minutes.

With start/ stop

[-]

JoePumaGourdBivouac@reddit

Non-driver here. Familiar with reefers and the annoyance of hearing them run, but what’s with the start/stop? I’ve seen it mentioned a couple times already.

[-]

seem92@reddit

With reefers you have a stay within a specific temperature range for most cargo. When it gets the the highest allowed temperature it cuts off and turns back on when you are about to drop too far in temperature. If the load requires a stricter temperature then it will blow continuously to prevent things from spoiling

[-]

Tru3insanity@reddit

Continuously loud is just white noise. Start / stop is quiet for a while and then very suddenly loud. Makes it harder to sleep if you arent used to it.

[-]

SaltAndBitter@reddit

Shit, even being used to it, cycle is the fucking worst. I lost count of the number of panic attacks I had from waking up while it wasn't running, only to remember that that didn't automatically mean the reefer had died like it would on continuous mode.

Also, I feel the need to point out that Continuous Mode sounds like the name of an 80's grunge band lmfao

[-]

ScionSpy@reddit

Covenant here, I'm glad our Refers only ever run in continuous mode. (We're actually locked out of Mode menu option) Ice come to enjoy the idle noise, especially when in the sleeper as I know the load ain't dying... And then the trucks Opti Idle BEEEEEEEP wakes me up xD

[-]

dkingsjr@reddit

Huh... You too? Yeah, for me it's not just the on... It's the off... Nearly 100% of my loads are continuous... When I DO get a cycle load, the off has me freaking out. 😂🤣

[-]

InvstrJester@reddit

I don’t mind because we have a truck with a loud as a/c unit. Reefers keep me from feeling like I’m waking everybody up

[-]

choobbss@reddit

Yeah those mfers are annoying.

[-]

truckernate97@reddit

In our trucks we have what is called opti-idle which will automatically start our engines if the batteries get low or if your cab isnt within a certain amount of degrees you have it set at for the a/c

[-]

Tromboneofsteel@reddit

In start/stop, the reefer will run until it's 5 below the set temp, then turn off untill it's 5 above, then repeat. It saves on fuel for products that don't need a strict temperature, but still need climate control.

[-]

WarmWriter1542@reddit

You can run the reefer continuously so the temp stays consistent. Or you can run it start or stop where your reefer stops at your set temp say 0 then starts again say at 10 so its gets down to 0 again.

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

Usually when you're running certain types of freight they want you to run the refer unit on continuous so it continually keeps the temperature in a certain range (usually 3 to 5 degrees on either side of the set temp).

On start stop more, the unit teaches say, 26°F and runs for maybe a minute, then shuts off. It will stay shut off until the box temp (inside the trailer) reaches 3 to 5 degrees above that 26, and then it will start back up to drop the temp.

In this case though, the continuos mode kinda lulls people to sleep, where putting it on start stop.... Maybe once an hour or every half hour or however long it takes the box temp to drop, the refer unit will beep really loud and start up. It can be disrupting to those not used to it.

Fellthefox@reddit

Was at a terminal ready to sleep when someone dropped their active reefer next to me and just left, while there were plenty of open spaces.

Yup. I wish truck stops has designated "noisy" parking. Kinda like smoking and non smoking...

Ya, i remember that story. Basically same situation as in the post but the camper was actively using 2 spots (they straddled the line) and when the employee knocked to have them move since the spaces were big enough they could safely have the slides out and still fit in one space with room leftover, the owner thought someone was trying to break in and shot through the door. Owner was charged with 2nd degree murder.

[-]

GarrisonWhite2@reddit

I can’t imagine being that paranoid.

HistorianTight2958@reddit

They didn't want their "slidouts" to be damaged by a trucker backing in next to them. So instead of being decent and NOT USE THEM HERE, the block a spot. Yeah, I have no words left for people like these.

[-]

Professor_Game1@reddit

I would move the cones, park next to him, and do a regen. (My truck is pre emissions)

[-]

Ok_Judgment3871@reddit

I like they had an option to park closer to the lined space to get give more room between the line to the open spot so thered be no worry. But even in this situation, a good trucker wouldnt hit their shit. Hope someone parked next to them anyways, you can block a spot. I only give it to oversize loads thatre more than 10’ wide

[-]

UncleTrucker1123@reddit

Honestly if I was an RVer and had to settle on a truck stop for a night (let’s say I got too tired to drive any further); I would do everything in my power to not be a menace to other drivers. In this case if I absolutely couldn’t live without the pullouts for one freaking night, I would’ve either parked halfway on top of that crosshatch or nosed in to use that to again utilize that crosshatch for the pullouts. But I’m also someone who goes out of their way to be considerate to others, and I know that taking up two whole parking spaces just to have 2 more feet of space inside is just absurd and utterly rude.

[-]

Spitfire1011@reddit

I can’t stand them as it is but I can promise you that if that was the last spot in the lot, I’m moving those triangles. Might have to talk myself out of just running them over.

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

Tbf, we hate everybody. With RVs it's the seasonal nature, often slow speeds, frequent inexperience with driving large vehicles (that they aren't regulated for), and competition for already inadequate parking.

[-]

DragonflyOnFire@reddit

We have to go slow. Trailer sway is an issue. I even have sway bars, but I still feel it when I go faster than about 65, so it’s best to keep my speed down to about 60.

readituser321@reddit

Where is he supposed to park?

[-]

BoutTreeFittee@reddit

sigh This is exactly why some truck stops don't allow RV parking.

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

Somewhere he's not taking up 2 spots.

[-]

graciebaddog@reddit

As an RVer I’m sickened and pissed. I will point out the truck is from Texas.

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

Virginia.

[-]

ChampionshipThin8916@reddit

Beds totally depends in layout. They can be anywhere. But I’m on board with the thought.

[-]

Healthier6908@reddit

I’d back right in over those triangles!

[-]

jean_luc_69@reddit

And of course the truck has vanity plates. Is anyone surprised???

[-]

hanxmaker@reddit

I didn’t think you could get “douchebag” as a vanity plate. 🤣

[-]

FinzClortho@reddit

If I need to park, im moving that and parking there.

[-]

johnbro27@reddit

RV owner here (45' diesel pusher). I'd call this douchebag out if I saw that. He's asking for someone to clip his slideouts and if it happens no one to blame but himself.

[-]

ALWAYS_have_a_Plan_B@reddit

Waaa effing waaa

[-]

clanlornac@reddit

I would definitely punt those triangles into that field and pull right in

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

Nah, collect those babies.

[-]

Independent_Leg7358@reddit

Hey, I saw one last week driving down the interstate with his slide-outs out.

[-]

IRedditDoU@reddit

Why didn’t they just nose in the so extensions were not over a parking spot?

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

It's got extensions on both sides.

[-]

IRedditDoU@reddit

Assholes. Lol

[-]

mikebanetbc@reddit

If only I had a loud reefer trailer and a RigMaster APU.

IYKYK.

driver004@reddit

You know it’s been a while since I did a parked regen

[-]

Only1JustBoss1033@reddit

Full time RV’r and retired truck driver here, and I agree 100% that this is annoying as Hell… some things you just don’t do…

[-]

AndromedanPrince@reddit

if thats last spot im parking in it.

[-]

Spartan9802@reddit

I’m parking in it anyway

[-]

Conscious_Grass_853@reddit

If it was the last spot open I would have backed right over those triangles

[-]

Jaded_Concentrate974@reddit

Reefer on start stop and I’m gonna loosen the belt so she squeals like mad

[-]

hotdog11inch@reddit

I would cut the tires on the rv

[-]

smiley82m@reddit

Nah, do the truck so they won't wake up.

[-]

Beautiful-Slice166@reddit

Ive hit tighter spots on nothing but a katy perry song and a monster, hold my beer fam

[-]

Next-Big2627@reddit

At these times i wish i hauled livestock But im pulling in straight so reefer is next to their heads

[-]

Overall-Lynx917@reddit

Just itching for a Reefer to be parked alongside

[-]

darklorddoone@reddit

On idt rvs should park overnight in tractor parking lots. I understand parking for a few minutes going to run to the store. Or needing to stretch ur legs. Or group made the agreement no shitting in the rv.

There to manny FREE camp sites and find campsite websites. Should plan the trip out and where to stop for the night.

But even in this case he could have parked closer to cross walk maybe even into it a little. And then opened up.

[-]

GanjaGodAlex@reddit

It looks the same until you take a closer look and go that's not an 18 wheeler

[-]

unnamedunderwear@reddit

Dude has literally excluded zone (dunno if it's correct term in english) to his right, not to mention all that free space in parking spot itself. I find it funny pickups would park with wheel on a line unless that's correct thing to do

[-]

HamiltonSt25@reddit

I’m an RVer and this is a dick move on their behalf. Just keep the slides in for the night. Ffs.

[-]

Gofindmango@reddit

Is this even aloud? If DOT came through & saw this, would they ticket them?

[-]

International-Bat944@reddit

How dare you ask the right questions?

[-]

Coookiedeluxe@reddit

It’s private property, so no.

[-]

foxxy_roxxy@reddit

Im not even a trucker and this pisses me off for you guys!

[-]

Twitchy1289@reddit

Most truck stops that I have seen have rv parking spots

[-]

CauliflowerSure2679@reddit

In the front of the store. They sure do.

[-]

BossHogg___@reddit

Id squeeze right in next to them. Wouldn't be such a douchebag if he'd hug that no parking space on his right.

[-]

Nero8762@reddit

i could nose in there, no problem. then i’d piss off my step all fucking night, right on the side of his trlr.

[-]

25_Unknown_Devices@reddit

There’s a really simple solution here everyone’s missing.

See that heavy haul guy loaded next to the rv.. that machine is definitely gonna be louder than a reefer. And I’m sure he’d crank it right on up if you asked nicely

[-]

HarryKuntz42069@reddit

Throw piss jugs at his rig all night, will make him think twice about sleeping with with the big trucks 😂

[-]

RedlineM5@reddit

If I was still pulling reefer I would nose in if I could. Also running over his triangles.

[-]

Batman_From_Dions@reddit

Two triangles means reefer parking. Temp at -10. Thnx. See you in the morning.

[-]

december151791@reddit

It's the way of the road

[-]

december151791@reddit

That's so nice of him, saving a spot for a reefer driver.

[-]

Working-Ad-5121@reddit

When you have the no parking spot right next to it too?!?! I think I smell toast again.

[-]

DimensionalAxolotl@reddit

Time to crank the reefer to -20 continuous run

[-]

CheesE4Every1@reddit

"Huuuuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh"

[-]

Nigesolo99@reddit

🤣🤣🤣

[-]

SaltAndBitter@reddit

Bro... they're next to the no parking area. They could literally partially occupy that shit if they wanted to open their slides, and they wouldn't be impeding anyone else. This is a special level of douchebaggery, holy hell

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

There's curb sticking into the no parking spot. Though, he's not up against the curb so his stairs can fold out properly...

[-]

ogloc1995@reddit

Dude has no excuse to be taking that much space. Especially what a guy with an oversized excavator is right next to him in the spot just fine

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

I thought the oversize had put the triangles up before I rolled past.

[-]

ClassicExplor3r@reddit

Why didn’t I ever get a chance to park next to such a friendly rv

[-]

Soapyhandjob@reddit

They should've nosed in and used the stripes for their slide outs....fkn rude

[-]

Evil_Space_Penguins@reddit

Just back in right over those cones. Seriously. What are they gonna do?

[-]

BedAdministrative619@reddit

Get hit on the pop outs hanging over the line, lol.

[-]

Ambitious-Art-1288@reddit

4 wheelers hate us semis Semis hate RVers. MFers arent on the clock and drive slow as F. Nowhere to be in no hurry

[-]

PositionBubbly6087@reddit

Oh, the classic "main character energy" at a truck stop. Taking up two prime spots—horizontally, no less—is a bold move when there are truckers nearby who are likely on their final minutes of legally allowed driving time. The neon blue underglow and those tiny emergency triangles really add that extra layer of "I know I’m in the way, but look how cool my rig is."

[-]

Theniceraccountmaybe@reddit

I'm a big rig boy!

[-]

AstlerFox93@reddit

Any pig haulers? Would be fun

[-]

BlueRibbonChicken@reddit

Damnnnn lol stop, drop, set em down, open up shop…. literally 🫥

[-]

Own_Cryptographer373@reddit

A loud reefer would do that just fine

[-]

Lonely_Law_6068@reddit

A skilled driver would have just Jdocked and saved the triangles

[-]

DriftingOnWater@reddit

Park a reefer next to that A-Hole and run it on continuous.

[-]

Many-Strain-7225@reddit

I would have ratted his ass out

[-]

KLfor3@reddit

RV owner here. That person should be drawn and quartered!!!! Absolutely unacceptable. We can coexist with truckers. Everyone has to be reasonable. I would knock on the door and tell them myself.

[-]

ScaryfatkidGT@reddit

Bruh…

[-]

Rare_Indication_3811@reddit

park next and turn on DPF

[-]

TwoInchTammy@reddit

Can we murder him!?!

[-]

twenafeesh@reddit

It would be totally appropriate to add a few extra chocs to their tires. Just for safety you know?

[-]

n8maxfield@reddit

He’s worried about the extended out sections of his trailer but has all that striped yellow space to his right and could partially lean that way and leave the space to his left open. Digghead!

[-]

farting_emu@reddit

lol those triangles wouldn’t stop me from parking 40k lbs of trailer in there

[-]

GoldenRetreiverMom@reddit

Wtf?

[-]

ratzm@reddit

They just don’t get it!! 😡

[-]

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

Free triangles

[-]

ratzm@reddit

Triangles? I didn’t see any triangles when I pulled in

[-]

aFrothyMix@reddit

Free Triangle Pieces!!! Lego crumbles!

[-]

trevoreye@reddit

Free triangle pieces!

[-]

MacandMandy69@reddit

Just park a couple of bull haulers on each side of him. That’ll break him from doing this stupid move again.

[-]

Un3v3n-Pigeon@reddit

Without a doubt I’ll be running my refer and opti all night. “Hey dispatch I’m gonna be late, gotta teach this cunt a lesson.”

[-]

Socketz11@reddit

Ok, I usually give these guys a little slack and assume they just dont realize how bad of a faux pas that is. I would like to pull in, take out his slider, and crush his little square truck blocking devices, he has obviously done this before and even purchased those obnoxious markers to stop anyone from pulling in next to him. He REALLY needs to be punished for this. If you ever see this guy, do your worst. I see this as a creative way to utilize your piss jugs, tools, or fluids to prevent this asshole from doing this.

[-]

denonemc@reddit

BBs under the valve caps.... Pulling his pin might be too far...

[-]

BearsAteMyGarbage@reddit

Never heard that one. Pretty good!

[-]

5quirre1@reddit

Squeeze out a grease pack or two on his door handles and windows.

[-]

BubblySmell4079@reddit

That's chillingly evil !!!! LMFAO

[-]

denonemc@reddit

Karma is a cruel mistress

[-]

Socketz11@reddit

Well the pin could hurt someone else, as tempting as it is. But some creative punishment is so well deserved.

[-]

HowlingWolven@reddit

I’d take the reflectors myself.

[-]

Socketz11@reddit

When I first looked at the image for some reason I thought the triangles were square and like giant fuzzy dice. Then after my post dropped I noticed they were just regular ones. I

[-]

HowlingWolven@reddit

Yeah, and they inevitably get run over so having some spares is always good

[-]

T_Track210@reddit

I am running over them cause didn't see them

[-]

Elderado12443@reddit

I’m beating on the door.

[-]

username_fantasies@reddit

I'd totally move those triangles and park there. I mean it.

[-]

Danny4278@reddit

Man its a shame theres not a no parking zone that he couldve shifted towards. Guess he'll have fun when a dry van is parked 3 inches from their trailer in the morning.

[-]

AndromedanPrince@reddit

reefer

[-]

musicalmadness1@reddit

Cattle pot

[-]

Danny4278@reddit

Deserved

[-]

Cryptotryhard@reddit

Vanity license plate. Checks out.

[-]

supernova-juice@reddit

The fucking entitlement

[-]

NickAppleese@reddit

Oh, and THEN they put triangles next to them?

Reefer Time! (tm)

[-]

Metaltom1970@reddit

Backing in right next to them, fuck their triangles

[-]

5tudent_Loans@reddit

I zoomed into the pedestrian path that they very easily could have just parked right on the edge of..

I always wonder what its like to live like you are the only one who matters in the world

[-]

Honch777@reddit

My old Detroit 60 is loud and I would make it a priority to park there and let it idle all night, fuel cost be damned.

[-]

Robot9P@reddit

As an RV owner, this pisses me off. I try very hard to be invisible. I don’t take overnight spots and can usually find an out of the way spot in the car area away from everyone, this with a 38ft diesel pusher. I get my gas and def and move out the way at the pumps knowing I’m a tourist, not my job.

[-]

Agitated-Bison-7885@reddit

Wish I was there to back over the triangles and do a regen on the truck and make the fan belt noisy on the reefer. How clueless and entitled can people be?

[-]

DANO8503@reddit

If I need that spot ima take it

[-]

Mobile-Ostrich7614@reddit

Damn they saved a spot for me!!!

[-]

Lazy-Comment7542@reddit

Yeah, I'm parking in that spot. Your stupid triangles mean nothing to me.

[-]

M41414@reddit

I am all for shitting on him. But did you take the time to go up and knock on the door and politely explain to him he’d make everyone’s life better by moving over into the cross hatched area. Or hell, he could just nose in and have all the room in the world. It’s fun to make fun of stuff like this. But go do something about it. Start kind, then tell him to fuck off if need be. I am willing to bet he’s an older guy and likely didn’t even think about the issue he caused. I bet if you explain it, he’d be happy he learned something.

[-]

BlackSC2us@reddit

I imagine they did that so no one would be right next to them on either side. I also imagine they've stayed at truck stops before and had an idling truck or a reefer parked next door. Because they are uncomfortable with people parked next to them they get to take away use of a parking spot from other drivers. Selfish entitlement is what it is.

[-]

tinkdatank@reddit

Yea I'd put those triangles on his hood and slide right in there nice and tight like my wife's puss, piece of shit

[-]

thatsmymoney@reddit

Dude thinks he is KILLING IT

[-]

imcjoey13@reddit

I’m neither a trucker nor an RV driver but why didn’t he just park in the other direction and use only 1 spot?

[-]

Batman_From_Dions@reddit

No, dude.

[-]

skaldrir69@reddit

He’s got the zebra stripe next to them… why not straddle that if absolutely necessary so they fit into the spot and not intrude into the next spot that’s usable? Use the markers to put under the slide there… one way is less douchey than the other… damn some people’s children.. I swear

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

There's a half length curb in the zebra stripes.

[-]

mts6175@reddit

Not only does he have the walkway he could have got closer too, he’s got an oversized load in the spot two over. What a dick

[-]

yes-disappointment@reddit

Dude could have pulled in head first and opened his slide.

[-]

Tricky_Big_8774@reddit (OP)

There's slides on the other side too.

[-]

LetMeReload@reddit

Rv’s and 4 wheelers should not be allowed to occupy truck parking

[-]

LetMeReload@reddit

Fuel hog!

[-]

Unique_Arm435@reddit

Douchebag with a personal plate!

[-]

Lefoy87@reddit

Making space for that free shower line

[-]

Aoiboshi@reddit

Just out of curiosity, where should RVs go if there is no RV?

[-]

CrashingTiger@reddit

that's not the issue, imo. It's the popout and dropping the triangles to takr another spot.

[-]

Sea-Radish3964@reddit

Somebody will ALWAYS complain, however, I myself don't have a problem with you guys parking as long as you don't do the shit the moron in the picture did. Make sure you're only taking up one spot and for the most part you won't have any problems. However, expect there to still be some asshat that will do their best to make your life a living hell for the night just because thou darest taketh the trucks spot. F em, they won't die. Hope that helps atleast a bit.

[-]

Justin_peacemaker@reddit

Anywhere BUT a truck parking spot, RV can park in any walmart or any of thousands of places.

[-]

truckerslife411@reddit

I would be waking them up to shut those slides

[-]

Life-Calendar637@reddit

😂

[-]

Justin_peacemaker@reddit

Those hash mark lines tell us that this is a designated handicap trucker spot, of which most places have one or two spaces.

[-]

tvieno@reddit

Those lines could be a spacer so no one backs into the light pole.

[-]

musicalmadness1@reddit

No it doesnt. Some places have those separators between spaces sometimes if next ones are angled. Not always disabled parking.

[-]

Individual_Wasabi669@reddit

Shit show season boutta start. Can’t bare them on highways and now gotta fight over a parking spot.

[-]

phunny-words@reddit

Fu¢k that guy and I pull a travel trailer when I’m on vacation, I’d move those triangles and park a reefer there

[-]

BigPete786@reddit

Why though

[-]

Bad-fathertrucker@reddit

If he’d have hugged the right side, he would’ve had more than enough room to slide out his extensions.

[-]

SnooChipmunks6620@reddit

Someone should park next to him.. cause a slight air leak with the engine running. Now you can annoy the fuck out of the RV people with your gov constantly shitting 😂

[-]

musicalmadness1@reddit

Take seals of gladhands. Then it'll blow nonstop

[-]

SubzeroWins1-0@reddit

I didn’t see them triangles. Oops sorry I’m on my 10 can’t move

[-]

Quick_Hawk8378@reddit

Omg someone took my spot that belongs to twuckers your so simpletons I bet you think lot lizards like ya too

[-]

Round_Rooms@reddit

Plenty, just back her in

[-]

Quynn_Stormcloud@reddit

I’ll move the triangles and slide right in. Looks like the trailer will fit no problem.

[-]

Bane245@reddit

I get it tho.

[-]

SH_SWH@reddit

I wouldn’t trust myself to slide in next to that guy without hitting it, but I’d definitely round up folks to spot for someone to park next to them. Especially if it’s a reefer.

[-]
