I do not choose a cg for wifi. I choose it for locations, space size, cleanliness of the park. They are only hurting themselves with foolish upgrades

On the other hand they may just be doing the math. Bowlus for example shipped 40% fewer floors last year as in 2020 but shipped and sold every floor they were capable of manufacturing. It's a matter of scale. Rivian is the top selling truck in its class ( ICE and EV) in the US, because it's not trying to compete outside it's weight. They're competing in the $90,000 truck market. That market is also less likely to be dissuaded by the expiration of the EV tax credit. The calculation for these parks may be they're competing for a set of RV'ers with different priorities. I don't imagine the current economic zeit geist is good for RV parks regardless. RV's aren't exactly flying out of dealer inventory.

Well look at this! An opportunity for a completely unbiased, totally accidental (and only slightly shameless) advertisement!

If you’re tired of the campground amenities arms race (Wi-Fi promises, glamping pods, boutique check-in kiosks, and prices that make you wonder if breakfast comes with a concierge)

Deer Springs is doing the opposite!

• Quiet, gated, adult-only RV park (Which is apparently a bold marketing strategy when 85% of the camping world is traveling with kids and looking for playgrounds, pool parties, and organized chaos.)
• Brand new 14' wide blacktop road coming into the park. (Certainly can't afford that pool now!)
• New concrete patios up on The Wilderness Loop section of the park. Wonderful for keeping the leaves and other undesirable nonsense out of your coach. (Welp… there goes the budget for the waterslide.)
• Big rig friendly. Now you understand the need for the new roads!
• Spacious private sites. Room to breathe, not bumper-to-bumper parking.
• Long-range mountain views at 3,600’ elevation. See pic below!

Mostly the sound of birds… not someone’s outdoor TV. Basically: you bring the house, we provide the peace.

We're in Franklin, NC — if you’re ever passing through!
