I was at a Coaching Clinic and staying alone in my Itasca Horizon in a less than desirable RV Park. Turned out to be a mobile home park that rented open pads to RV’s. (I will never learn and always try to get a good deal close to where I need to be.)
Its 1:00 am and I awake to my generator starting. The thought goes through my head that my generator does not start automatically, no one’s does, you have to manually push the starter button.
I get up and look down the hall, no one is in the coach, someone has to be messing around outside.
My flashlight, my security system, and I start peeking out the windows and do not see anyone so I go carefully out the door and look all around and under the coach, no one there.
I open the front generator compartment door and look and there on the starter button and in the dust next to it are perfect Raccoon footprints. I have to fuss with the generator to get it to prime and start but some stupid oversized rodent gets it to start no problem.
