During the CoVid-19 Pandemic, Mike and I did
some mooch-docking at my brother, Scott’s house and our good friends (that
became family), Keith and Susan’s home.
Mooch-docking is staying in a friend’s or family member’s driveway or on
their property for a period of time. At
my brother’s we had water and house electric (15 AMP) and able to dump our
tanks. At Keith and Susan’s we had 30
AMP electric, water and able to dump tanks as needed.
Here are a few tips to help coexist and
hopefully get invited again to stay…
1.
Help out.
Watch the kids while they work or when needed. Help build a garden or greenhouse or hunting
/ tree stand. Mow the lawn.
2.
Chip in.
Chip in for groceries or make dinners.
3.
Work laundry and shower times around your host
schedule.
4.
Offer to leave some money for the utility
bills.
5.
Give each other space. Know that your host and you need space
sometimes. You don’t have to spend all
your time together.
6.
Buy a dinner or breakfast for everyone.
7.
Don’t stay to long, maybe 2 – 3 weeks. Know your host limit and yours.
