Building a small RV park, Part 3

[purring along]

Can't wait to see it in person, you're doing a fine job. I wish other campgrounds put as much care and thought into their places.

Lol, thanks Rich.

On another note, and this is one of those "it's a small world things", but back in 2019, you and I met on a different forum and started exchanging emails about the solar installations we were both putting into our rigs. I'm pretty sure you have not made the connection but you probably will now. You had taken a lithium battery out of a (forget what it was?) and installed it, and panels, on your (then) Bay Star.

I learned a bunch through our email exchanges. And it was cool that we both owned GSD's! So I find it quite gratifying that we are friends here on this forum as well. Like I said, it's a small world.

Edit: Pic below are of Rich's dogs from 2019. Such magnificent animals.

Small world indeed - took me a while but I do recall those conversations. They were Nissan Leaf cells btw, now broken up onto a 48v battery for my Polaris Ranger EV (14 modules for 57.4v) and a 36v for my golf cart (10 modules for 41v).

I still haven't decided which way to go for my next lithium coach project - go big - 48v 8kw inverter with about 20kwh of lithium, or easy - big 12v lithium battery bank and keep it simple but still a lot better than LA or AGM.

And yes Lalka and Angus - I think of them every day.

Looks great!

Thank you, John.

Well, you know I appreciate that. We really do try to make our park the best that it can be. We can't compete with the "resorts", but we're not trying. Just want to be the best mountain RV park that we can be.

What would look really good up there would be a Mountain Aire next to the London Aire!

Most accurate statement I've seen today.

I couldn't agree more!

If the weather permits, I'm putting you in Site #13, which is an awesome site in The Wilderness Loop! If it's raining, we'll put you in Site #1 or #8, on a cement pad. Either way, we'll get some glamour shots!

Funny thing, we've been overrun with people asking to camp during the month of April. (The park doesn't open until May 1st) I've been letting some of them in, mostly if I feel they're Deer Springs material. Amazing people so far.

Some have been hiking the Appalachian Trail and needed a base camp. Others who have been referred to us but didn't realize we didn't open until May. Either way, I'm gratified that so many people have called and asked if we can accommodate them.

lol, one might think so. But the truth is, I give most of it away.

Random pictures from this evening.

And these pictures are taken coming out of winter. Can't wait for spring when the trees are blessed with leaves! It's gonna be beautiful!!!

Kinda reminds me of the Abbey Road album. . .

Building a small RV Park is what this thread was all about when I started it a few years ago. But now that the park is done, I’ll put a wrap on it. Thanks for the many suggestions along the way and thanks to everyone who gave me a thumbs up.

Happy Camping y’all!

 

[Chargerman]

I don’t believe it, you guys are never done.

Don’t stop now. How are we going to get the latest on Franklin?

Awesome job. Been following for a couple years and am utterly amazed at what you have accomplished. Very impressive what this has turned out to be. Congrats on reaching this milestone!!

Jim,
Don't stop now! Folks look forward to your additions and adventures!
Look forward to seeing y'all in July!
Oh, "It's Five-o-Clock" somewhere!
