As an FYI we have had similar situations on UK sites.
We have a Hymer, a German designed Motorhome, which means, like the OP's, the hab door is on the 'wrong' (right) side.
The inconsiderate camper, whilst driving a German VW, appears to be UK spec with the whoosh bang door on the left (UK) side.
I'd guess he simply saw a space on what should be the rear side of a UK motorhome and though he'd camp in the lee (still a bit too close though)
I suspect as soon as they realised the hab door was inside 'their' space they realised their mistake.
It was then a case of brinkmanship as to whom would move first, but they must have realised the polite thing to do was the later arrival had to move.

Why would they attach the mangy dog to a donkey?They have just gone off exploring to see if they can borrow a large mangy dog and attach it on a bit of string to a steak in the ground, failing that a donkey.
(Show the campers the sort of Travellers they have pitched next to!
A very Kafkaesque question.Why would they attach the mangy dog to a donkey?
The obvious answer is the vegetarian Donkey is guarding the steak from the carnivorous Mangy Dog.
AC DC up loud and on repeat - then go out.

Seven seasons of racing means nothing surprises me regarding parking in race paddocks. TBH, as long as you could get the races cars around, it never bothered me!

What did you race? I did about 7 seasons too in Production BMW. Loved it but I'm retired now. It's good to go and watch my old racing mates. A race is better to watch if you know someone in it.
When I raced I would turn up Thursday and get all set up for the weekend. Slightly different as a spectator.

Had similar at a local music festival.
Had the awning out and a reed mat under it.
Came back at tea time to find a tent half on and half off my reed mat.
Just left them too it.

When I was instructing I always had my camper in the pits. Kept warm in cold weather and a kip at dinner time
And I was always there first in the morning

When I was racing we couldn't afford a camper van so we camped.When I was instructing I always had my camper in the pits. Kept warm in cold weather and a kip at dinner time

Yeah. Once camped at Cadwell in March. Woke up at 8 and was dark. Tent was covered in snow.
We still raced.

We were at Bastogne at a Motocross Gp. We were all very carefully parked in lanes with a decent firebreak in between. Thank goodness as on the first day we came back for lunch to see a lovely newish Hymer on fire and hurriedly being towed out of the area. Absolute destroyed but luckily nothing else was. Had the parking been ad hoc who knows what would have happened ?
We travel a lot to these meetings in Europe and they always park us well.

Its a Volkswagen ,, sums it up really
Even in the short time we've been involved pitch etiquette seems to have dropped off. People just don't respect pitch boundary markers any more. We had some Tw@t last week using our pitch to wash all his boating bits off! When asked if he needed me to move over on my pitch a bit for him he replied "no you're OK mate, nearly finished now".
Many years ago we camped at Le Boucanet in France and the German caravan next to us had encroached on our pitch so many times, that I gave up asking. Was making me angry
But on their last night I went and peed all over his leccy cables behind his van. Was fun in the morning watching him coiling up all his cables
I was younger and dafter in my defence

- since 1988 with breaks until 2009
son struggled, when with young children, neighbour was a very loud, unsuitable language/music for children camper. Son had camped first, he came to an agreement that they could play their own music hour about, neighbours didn't last for an hour of classical musicAC DC up loud and on repeat - then go out.
