CAMPIN
G
CAMPSITE SELECTIO
N
Because of the rapidly growing number of recrea-
tional vehicles, some campgrounds do not accep
t
reservations, but make one whenever you can
. I
f
possible, arrive early so you may inspect and choos
e
a site during daylight hours
. Try to avoid sites nea
r
a swamp, stream or other bodies of water whic
h
may harbor mosquitoes or other insects
. Avoi
d
parking under dead trees or loose limbs which migh
t
fall and cause injury or damage
. Stay away fro
m
areas which show signs of flash flooding. DO NO
T
park on private property without first obtainin
g
permission
.
In winter, park behind a grove of trees, bushe
s
or similar type of windbreak
. Close the gap betwee
n
the ground and the bottom of your vehicle's outsid
e
walls with plastic, canvas or similar material
. Thi
s
will cut down cold drafts which can affect interio
r
temperatures
.
