At one FMCA rally, my dad pulled in late Friday afternoon, after most of the sites with hookups were taken. He asked the rally coordinator (who was standing around with others from the same chapter) where to park and they told him there was a great spot with plenty of power at the end of the row. Of course, they had decided to play a trick on him since they all knew that that site's hookups were dead!

As they stood around and watched, my dad quickly figured out there was no power, but he made himself look busy by hooking up extension cords and a trouble light. He rerouted the power through his inverter to make the light come on, appearing to have power from the outlet. Then he routed hoses from the water pump around to the non-working spigot and began hosing off our coach.

He had the last laugh.
