I spend lots of time traveling in New Mexico. A few miles west of Route 66 is Sky city Casino. The RV park is $18 a night if you mention the trucker special. Full hook ups. Large pull through sites. Pool and spa, great restaurant and casino. Includes showers in the truck stop next door. Laundromat and a dollar tree. It’s a great place to stay!!

@freewayfuzz8160 20 дней назад

I didn’t even know that place existed. Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

@thoerner2 20 дней назад

@@freewayfuzz8160 I stay here a lot. They also have a big lot behind the hotel/casino that you can boondock in. The rv park isn’t super fancy but big clean sites, beautiful views and there is shuttle that will pick you up and drop you off at casino. When you check in they say it’s $25 a night but if you mention the billboard price it drops to $18. The pool and spa are at the casino but it is included with rv stays. There is also a Starbucks coffee shop in the lobby.

If you add a swimming pool to taterland, Yes, that will set you up for one FUN summer out there on your land, you can do so many fun country things, swim, hike, shoot BB guns at cans, Once 4th of july comes around you can have a huge party out there and shoot off fireworks, have a pool party, cook some bbq on the grill !!! It could be the best summer you have eve3r had !!

Eric, I just spoke with Rt 66 RV park and they told me that the rates are the $67/ nite for a pull thru. No hidden fees when you get there and that the Pool/ Spa, Etc are opening tomorrow (Friday the 17th of May) for the summer.. Also the $25 security deposit is refunded to you upon check out. So that $$ you were speaking about is not quite right. Please let me know if you got the deposit back when you checked out? We are planning on staying there in late summer...

@Florida_Man_Robb 19 дней назад

Some at Route 66 told me that there was an injury or death at the pool and there was a pending lawsuit for several years now that would prevent them from renovating and re-opening it. Don’t know if that’s true, but it was from an employee.

@carolynnkaster9457 13 дней назад

I agree. The Resort , not, should give a discount since the Resort amenities are not open. I get disappointed when the pool is not open. It's so nice to relax in the pool after a travel day. I also noticed that even though the park is only 10% occupied, they put everyone next to each other. My orange tabby, Duke, loves Temtations too.

I sold my RV last year and when I travel in the USA going forward I will use the Hotel system. Getting 10mpg and paying $87.00 a night for a slab of cement with hookups I will pass. I would rather get 40mpg in my car and stay in a Hotel without having to carry everything with me.

Prices on RVs were so overpriced and the campgrounds got greedy with the fees not to mention gas and food prices are so much higher now. I’m in Costa Rica now for the next six months and it’s cheaper than living in the USA. Hopefully things change in November or I might just stay here.

@ka1133 16 дней назад

One of the problems with an RV park like that is that people will continue to patronize them even knowing full well that they do not provide the facilities as advertised. Enough said about that. As far as your pizza is concerned, I buy those on occasion, when they’re on sale in my area for around $3.97. Now I know full well that they don’t taste that good out of the box, so I always purchase a bag of shredded cheese, a bag of sliced pepperoni, and I also get those bags of bacon bits from Costco that you can buy. I’ll then dress up my pizza so that I know it’s gonna taste good and I’ll enjoy it.

@SweetFLGuy1 19 дней назад

Eric I'm a big fan of your channel for many years. As a Floridian living on the east coast for over 50 years living inland and not near the ocean coast the hurricanes weaken inland and our 101 year old wood house we moved in year 1985 is still standing and not even a broken window and we live 20 miles from the ocean. The most damage is the homes on the beaches and near it. If I was you I would of still traveled the east coast and it's still too early for a hurricane. If a hurricane heads your way on the east coast you can always head west and the meteorologist always know several days ahead when a hurricane is coming. My family never leave our house in a Florida hurricane. We live inland on higher land that doesn't flood and one year we had a big category 5 hurricane and we stayed in our house and no damage to the house but plenty of tree stuff and branches on the ground and we even got lucky and didn't lose our power and lights that time but other parts of the city did lose their electricity.

The reason the casino does what the casino does is not because it's better or worse for travelers, it's because of $$$. Keeping, managing, supplying, insuring, staffing, cleaning and providing those services are no longer financially advantageous for them. It doesn't have anything to do with positive or negative emotions or a slap in the face to RVer's. They simply can't operate a business and provide everything you want or expect in today's market condition(s). You'd be shocked to know how lean most hospitality co.'s have to run their operations to barely break even. Scary times! Safe travels Eric--

@andrewzenn1719 20 дней назад

RVing was a retirement plan for the baby boomers without a big stash. This, and Covad, put stress on the RV industry - higher demand, higher costs, higher insurance as people sue/ Not a big margin in RV parks and it caters to the wide variety of people which isn't always a good thing. RV parks starting being homes to more, thus they raised the prices to take advantage of that as any lower priced RV parks would get hundreds of RVer when they found out filling it. So the whole industry repriced at twice the price it was before Covad. Hotel prices went up quite a bit, nothing below $100.
