Honestly I've never taken a shower in my rv. I always grab my shower caddy and head to the on-site showers. Great looking park. Great-looking build. I hope we're able to create something just as good here in Oklahoma
Okay, it wasn't just me. I thought I missed something. I wish there was a video where someone breaks down the exact cost they paid for each thing. More transparency would be nice.
14:30 nothing more irritating than having to call to see if a campground has availability, it's 2024, that should easily be accessible via the website.
What I’m trying to find out because I just bought some land and I’m trying to find out do I get the electrical installed first, then septic sewer lines then water from the well then I have to put the asphalt on the road. I guess that’s last but first I have to trim a bunch of trees so they don’t fall and destroy stuff. It is a lot to do and figure out.
Trees should be looked at by an arborist. You can trim them or cable them. We had a tree fall on our rv in a park, our insurance paid us so we could purchase another rv. It would be in your best interest to look after the health of trees.
@@taraquo yeah the past two weeks we probably cut down 50 trees, rented excavator three days ago and burning everything in piles were putting in the sewer lines tomorrow, going to use it to dig the trench then a lot of work but saved money just me and a guy from craigslist! Lol probably $15,000 worth of work only cost me about 2800
Not all land is created equal. Check out these websites 👇 1. GIS Maps: Every city and county has some form of GIS, allowing you to see the topography of the land and much more. 2. County Property Search: This will get you a plat map and show you who truly owns the property. It can also help you figure out what your taxes for the land will look like. 3. FEMA.com: Do you need flood insurance? FEMA will let you know if the land is prone to flooding. 4. HighspeedInternet.com: People care about the internet, and you need to know how easy it is to get internet access. 5. Weatherspark.com: It literally shows you every weather pattern in that region and predicts what will happen in the future. If you're doing any type of major development, it's worth knowing.
Its taken me 18 months to build my park. I opened parts of in 5 months but it was rough...its just been me 1 helper and my heavy equipment owner. Lots of rain delays. Health dept by law is supposed to get back to you within 10 days and they would often take 3 weeks to approve or disapprove of a change our engineer made. I never imagined 35 slips would take that long but we had to build 2 massive retaining walls and haul in thousands of yards of dirt. In tbe end its 100% paid for but business has been slow. Weve yet to get to 50% capacity. Rv parks have doubled in my area since i started mine.
I don't know about the rest of the nation or other parts of Texas but we opened an RV park in Tyler, TX a little over two years ago and have definitely noticed demand for RV sites has decreased. There have been RV parks opening all over since we opened. When we opened, demand for RV sites was high. I might be wrong but think we may be getting to a point of oversaturation. I know another RV park owner in this area that had full plans to expand and purchased items to move forward and backed out because his demand has also suffered. I just don't want folks to put forth their life savings and think it's going to be a cash cow. Maybe you'll have a different experience. It's a good thing i have another job. Just please do your homework and realize typical expenses for RV parks can run north of 50% (refere to Darrell Hess and Associates research on RV park expenses). And unless you have a ton of cash you'll have your loan on top of that. Thanks for your video.
This is March 3, 2024… and your personal experience is certainly on trend! Large franchisors and corporate RV site Owners have created at once a competitive advantage over Independent Park Owners! COVID created a big demand, springing from some people’s financial situation changing radically and the need to work at home increased the desire to buy an RV or 5th Wheel and reduce costs while being able to get outside without a mask! After COVID, a lot of the demand started to collapse as jobs came back with a 9-5 requirement and expenses increased to cover costs and increase profits! National and State Parks cracked down on the less than careful campers! Walmart/Cracker Barrel opened their lots to attract consumers and created cheap parking, while opening up the standard irresponsible, cheaper RVer! As larger Independent RV parks saw demand decrease, they started offering sales of lots with maintenance costs, which immediately runs into problems with Renters, whose kids and dogs do not respect the privacy Owners require! The fact is, the RV Park camping industry is under going tremendous downward pressure, with people reversing the RV lifestyle, creating a huge and growing excess of used and over produced, often badly maintained and manufactured RV’s… and this has led to RV Parks going out of business!
Fellow Texas RV owner here. From my experience as well as talking to many other RV owners, the increasing space rental charges has become a primary distraction for most people. For all of the "niceer" parks out there, they seem to think they can jack prices up every year and people are going to keep paying. Not the case. I have my limits on what I'm willing to pay for a RV space, with or without trees or any other amenities. Park conditions, lack of trees., horrible roadways and RV spaces are other things that people always talk about. If you're a RV park owner and want to maintain capacity then stop jacking up rental charges just because you see other parks doing it. At some point you're going to reach that "Oh hell no!" price and all potential customers are going to run away as fast as they can, no matter how nice or crappy your RV park is. After all it's just a parking space.
Demand is way down. RVs are cheaply made, insane 10 year rule, even if you keep it pristine. Operating costs for an RV makes no sense to people anymore. Once you drive off a lot, your rig starts falling apart and repairs take months. Not worth the hobby anymore
I would say Yelp reviews are good because they are connected directly to Apple Map Photos. Apple Maps draws from Yelp Photos and Visitors who load directly to Apple. So I would recommend still having an experience on Yelp. Out of staters love Yelp (especially from bigger cities).
I really wish RU-vidrs would stop naming videos something that they aren't. This isn't a how to start from 0. This is two experienced guys having a conversation from a perspective of already having done it.
