Arkansas RazorBacks vs Vanderbilt

Now I ain't a fan of either otherwise I would have known why the campground has been inundated with huge motor homes. Everyone sporting some kind of Razerback banners, decals and even a mural. These are all UA Razerback Alumni, the rich ones I dare say. Seems the Razerbacks are playing the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday in Nashville.
Lorraine and I were admiring (that'll be the day) some of these overpriced behemoths. I don't believe one was listed under 700,000 and most everyone was less than 2 years old. Oh yeah, there is a 2006 Prevost in the bunch as well. There wasn't a single toad less than 3 years old and most were big SUVs.
The one next to us was suprised when I explained we were full timers. He has a one year old $900.000 Essex MH with all the bells and whistles and says he only uses it 30 days out of the year. Couldn't understand how anyone can live in an RV any longer than that.
The funniest part was maybe 1 out of 5 could back their MH right into his site while the rest struggled. The one behind us took nearly 30 minutes. One gave up backing and went around the block and pulled in rather than continue trying to back in. The one directly behind us complained that his wife was terrible at instructions. Instructions? What instructions?? Every site is at a 45 degree angle to the drive and a very wide drive at that. The guy pulled up glanced at the site, pulled ahead and promptly started backing into the next site over. He again pulled forward and nearly backed into a tree. A tree that should never have entered into the situation as it was plenty far enough out of the way. Had he pulled up, got out of the MH and looked over the site before backing he should not have had any problems but instead he blamed his wife. A novice 5er driver could have been in that same site or any of them with little or no problems.
Here's a site map.
One of the folks with a class C who we had met a few days earlier had asked us what we did all day. I told him we attended this really funny class on "How Not to Back in a Motor Home".

What a riot! I must say you got your entertainment for the week didn't you! I was telling my daughter the other day that only someone that pulls or drives these beasts would get entertainment out of seeing something like this.....We were driving down the highway and I said, "Oh, that guy's antenna is up! She ask me how I could spot that? I told her when you have experienced it or you start taking notice of rigs going down the highway you just pay attention to those kinda things...
