about to lay the law down....

First mistake: letting anyone other than family (only to a degree though) do anything more than sleep/relax in your camper..

I have a motor home for camping, I let friends sleep in it and use the bathroom, and sinks..

Nothing more...

It's a B.Y.O.S situation in my rig..

He'll stay in that thing all by himself while other people sleep in tents. I now know why. People will trash your shit and basically become a burden to have around. I've been hunting with all these guys for 20 years and every year I'm like their frigin outfitter. I take everything. Basically they can show up with a sleeping bag, pillow, and a bow and be ready to go. I haul the camper, smoker, firewood, chairs, most of the food, lanterns, chainsaw, and generator. I keep the smoker and camper supplied with propane ( cost $80 last week to fill all 3 bottles) and everything that goes with making everything as comfortable as possible. I would do the majority of that anyhow if I were going by myself but my feeling is that I'm not going by myself. Wouldn't kill those guys to at least offer to help out from time to time. I gotta feeling our whole camping arrangement is about to change drastically.

I'm just done with it......tired of being their camping experience supply guy.

Nice guy syndrome.. You would'nt let a friend shit on your floor, so why do you let them shit on you?

No offense, good friends have respect, and are considerate, personally I would'nt feel right using a friends stuff without offering to pitch in in anyway i could..

You're all likely big boys now, lettem' know what's up, or what's expected..

Just my .02

These "friends" sound more like mooches to me. I have a cousin like that. Whenever we go out fishing or cruising in our boats, he shows up with his hands in his pockets. He takes all his pants to the tailor and has the pockets deepened so he can't reach the bottom. His nick-name is "short arms, long pockets. When it's his turn to buy the next round at the bar he conveniently has to go whizz, and other similar situations. Needless to say, when the rest of us are planning something, we "conveniently" forget to call him. Maybe you should "lose" a few phone #'s yourself. Just sayin'.
