Building a small RV park.

[Neal]

Sounds like the RV park trainers are working you well. Obviously don’t bend over too far backwards or you’ll end up messing something up. Stick to your rules on booking etc. You’ll find your way. You may want to consider an emergency overflow area which may be dry camping only for when someone does break down in a site. Glad business is booming right off the bat. Pay it forward is good but there are some shady RVers too. Don’t get yourself in trouble.

Good stuff,you will be fine, nothing wrong with learning on the fly. My guess you have likely paid it forward many times in your life.

@Jim , I’ve been about 80 miles away from you this past week and if I could have made the timing work, I would have dropped in on my way home. Maybe next time. Best of luck!

Could it be that the campground down the road is steering all their problems your way?
I guess seeing the worst of what could happen, in the beginning stages of your "running a rv park" isn't all that bad. Guess you don't have the front gate up yet, if people are just showing up?

JIM......
After reading your above post; I have come to a conclusion.
Combined with your "composition" ability and flair for" painting a word" picture, YOU NEED TO WRITE A BOOK about this entire adventure.
It may not make it to the "Best Seller" list (but you never know) but it will definitely be entertaining for "RV Folks" to read!

I look forward to additional "stories" when we come to visit!

Just got done reading all 30 pages, this is very impressive.

We've been watching Momma Duck sitting on her eggs for just about a month. And then today, this happened! She's so proud! Good job, Momma Duck!

lol, while the complement is probably undue, I thank you much @Jabber Jaw !

Nah, I know them personally. Just the luck of the draw.

@Jim ... if this has already been asked then please disregard this.

I was working on a new trip last night using RV Parky and could not find your park. Have you tried to get it listed with them yet?

Yes I have, several times in fact. The don't respond in any fashion, way or form. Wasn't impressed with their communication skills, or should I say, their lack thereof. Have I misjudged them?

 

[FLSteve]

OK glad that you’ve contacted them. All I know is they’re good to use when you’re setting up a trip like from my end, but I don’t know how they are with the actual Campground owners. I do see on the mobile app there’s a way for people like me to suggest they add a Campground so I’ll do that and we’re be working it from both ends.

OK, I just added it again. Message said the park will be verified and I'll be notified in a few days. But... I've seen this message before! We'll see.

 

[FLSteve]

@Jim ... I just did the same thing and got the same type of message. Hope it works.

Can't think of a better topic. Congrats @Jim - Ed McMahon will be showing up at your doorstep soon.

Ed and Johnny both were here. Ed handed him a card, Johnny held it to his head and said, "12 million dollars". Opened up the card and read "Twelve things that Jim won't win."

But it was nice to see them both again. Ed really didn't look well . . .

How cool is that. I guess he didn't bring you the Publishers Clearing House giant check then? Well maybe next time.

Maybe, maybe not . . . The neighbors accepted it for me.

$10K? I thought it was supposed to be $10M. Or, it that the first weekly check?
