I didn't mean to imply that I've never left anything behind or forgotten to do something before leaving a campsite -- just haven't done any of those things I've mentioned here. I remember driving off with a really nice flashlight sitting on our trailers rear bumper and I've probably left enough leveling blocks behind to build a small house.

My biggest mistakes have been associated with accepting friends and relatives invitations to park in their yards/driveways while visiting them. One friend backed me into his roof overhang in our 5th wheel while guiding me into his driveway and I destroyed a wheel/tire and bent an axle spindle trying to negotiate a turn through a nephew's cattle guard. I ran my costs after that trip and found we averaged about $18.00 per night in commercial campgrounds and $300.00 per night in friends driveways. We now get set up in a campground before even calling to tell people we have arrived.
