How do you handle the lookey loos when you are a bit too busy to stop and chat? Or am I just being selfish in wanting to eat a meal un interrupted while on vacation? I've only had my trailer since November, so I'm still quite the newbie and not used to such attention.
Christie,
It can be a real challenge to go camping in a teardrop and not be bothered by inconsiderate people...
You are not being selfish.
"Most" considerate people, no matter how excited they are to learn more, will keep going/come back later if they see you are eating or busy.
Others, as you've discovered, will be most happy to talk your leg of no matter what you're doing
I often move to the galley area, out of sight of the ones trying to decide if they should approach, that gives the general hint, and most keep going.
For the ones that don't, you have to be honest and tell them that while you'd be happy to give them a tour, answer questions, etc. you are in the middle of dinner, setting up, playing with your children, etc.
If they get mad, so be it.
You, and they, are there to have a good time camping, don't let some inconsiderate person spoil it for you!

PS. Parking off in a corner and putting an easy up in front of the trailer helps too
Someone either did, or suggested putting up a sign saying something like "sorry, tours closed until tomorrow at 9:00"
I'm thinking of trying that too, as I enjoy sharing, but need to be able to enjoy the outing on my terms.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
