For these reasons we are building an RV Resort here in Pottsville, AR. The sites are 50' apart with full utilities, campsite store, shower suites, laundry facilities, and a walking trail around the stocked small 11 acre lake with catch & release fishing. Hoping to be completed by mid summer. Stay tuned..........😊👍

A little over a year ago my son and daughter in law sold their house and bought an RV and live in their RV full time. They both work remotely, they spend winters in the southern states and summers in the northern states. They love their new life style.

@chrisstinnett8183 21 день назад

One of our greatest frustrations is finding a campground advertising 85 sites--only to discover that 79 of them are residentials (parked an RV and will never move it). No wonder we have trouble reserving a spot! And sometimes (not always) when we get the spot, we discover that too many of the residentials have broken down grills, cars on blocks, teetering decks, bad skirting, and generally trashy sites. The bathhouses are infrequently used, so infrequently cleaned or repaired. Owners won't bother their bread-and-butter, so nothing gets better.

@highdesertrob8076 4 месяца назад

We never have a problem finding campgrounds, National Forests, RV parks, casino’s, etc. We are retired and travel for 3 or 4 months at a time in our motorhome every year and then go home for 3 or 4 months. Our plan is no plan, and we don’t have trouble finding a place to stay. The only time we make a reservation is if there is a major holiday coming up and then we’ll book the weekend a week in advance. We just wing it since we never really know where we’ll be or how long we’ll stay….. depends on how the fishing is :-)

I lived in an RV park outside of Tampa for a year from 2019 through 2020 wanting to opt out of the skyrocketing housing costs. Many around me had years before been pushed to the margins finding it the only affordable option. Some were tourists, traveling medical staff or folks who traveled for work at power plants across the country. With flood insurance about $6K a year for the most modest homes, many in Florida are opting for RVs, so that's another pressure. Many corporations opt to buy up RV parks in Florida because of folks who are unable to even move like retirees and sex offenders. Another pressure. And lastly where I was abutted new home communities buying up undeveloped land. Developers wanted the land for McMansions near to a city and were driving RV parks out. I think housing costs are affecting RVers more than you know. But great video.

Retired in January and spent almost 2 months on the road in Arizona and Nevada. I found my self spending hours each day searching websites for campsites and cancellations. Eventually I became very discouraged and went back home. I appreciate your video because I did not know of that app/website that would help find and book sites. Thank you.

@gdt5430 2 месяца назад

We're retired and of course on the "fixed" income and we're being pushed out of the RV travel/camping lifestyle by not just over crowding of campgrounds or shortage of campground sites but by the prices of campsites. As these corporations buy up the mom and pop campgrounds and yes improve them they also have a bottom line to improve for investors. In some cases prices have tripled for a campsite and the reservation deposit requirements are full payment up front which could be many months in advance, we can't afford to put out thousands of dollars on paid in full advance reservations so camping now is becoming only for the affluent who can afford the prices and deposits. We'll probably just sell here shortly as our relatively new RV has been sitting for months with no place to go, it will mark the end of 50 years of Camping/RVing.

@danbaxley 2 месяца назад

I own a new RV -- good for me, as many RV Camp spots no longer allow anything over than 10 years. But, bad for me, figuring all of the money spent and everyone in town is out in the woods or on the coast, sucking the life out of "getting away". More peace staying at home. When it rains, my wife and i go out and sit in our 2-year-old RV and have hot chocolate. An occasional sleepover in our motorhome, driveway, parking spot -- no charge, and actually, more peace and quiet than other places. Lucky, we are old and retired and enjoyed the coast and the great outdoors, without all of the people that have swamped the open spaces, not so open anymore. We have seen it, however, in times past, when the excitement dies out, the glut of RV sales -- usually when the money runs out -- but this seems to be hanging on a bit longer. We will see. For now my favorite parking spot in along side my house.

@cosmiccharlie8294 4 дня назад

I remember road tripping in the late seventies. No rv, maybe a tent or just pillows and blankets. A cooler of course with groceries and beverages. Using the sink for a quick bath in one of those restrooms around the back of a gas station. And don't forget the 870 pump!

@maryhamilton2053 12 дней назад

Something I noticed last summer while on my 6 week adventure More ppl are living in their rigs and working. Not bc they desire this lifestyle but out of necessity. They take up the travelers sites full time. I noticed some RV parks are 3/4 full of these rigs. Personally I find that undesirable to stay at these parks so now I must pay more $$$$ to pull away from those parks. Higher costs for me now. Pretty much $55 a night stay now as a norm.

@crimestoppers1877 Месяц назад

I recently bought a ranch and the seller agreed to remove all personal property before close of escrow. What did I find? A 34 foot motor home and two trailers! I told the seller if she did not remove her junk ASAP I would bill her $10,000 to have it towed to the junk yard. She gave me the pink slip and ownership docs and I gave it away to some homeless people looking for free stuff. I do not understand why so many people are living in Motor Homes? Is it the lack of property taxes? When you drive anywhere near a large city all you will see are tents, shopping carts with blue tarps and trailers, Motor homes, junk cars, trash and needles. What a mess. I see people who want free rent, free meals, free healthcare and free clean up services all paid by others. There is a change in my community. No parking signs for trucks, RV's and street parking limits of one hour. My former public street is now private. Today it is a one mile long driveway for homeowners only. In some areas, homeowners are buying back the public streets and making them private and inaccessible. In my area we bought the former public lake, so it is not private. Public access is restricted. Why? To prevent vagrants, homeless, thieves and criminals. The first thing we noticed was no more trash on the roads, no more graffiti and no more crime. So far, four local streets are owned by the homeowners and all sidewalks have been removed to discourage trespassers. Some now have gates blocking trespassers and private street lighting. Boon docking is discouraged here. It would be good if honest vacationers in Motor Homes would encourage the losers "camping" along side them to remove their trash.

@peterpiper487 2 месяца назад

LOL!! Who in his/her right mind likes to 'geek out' when you have the opportunity to leave all that behind? My friends and I all love the opportunity to get away from electronics and live the life when we take to the road for traveling and camping out. There's nothing better than getting back to the open road, boondocking and living free on the land with not a care in the world.

@pgithens1 3 месяца назад

I've probably commented here about this before, but one of my biggest gripes with most campgrounds . . especially private or big-business owned, is that most have done NOTHING to improve their facilities despite overwhelming demand. Never in history has there been a better time to make capital investments and use the influx of cash to improve or expand. The exception has been a lot of State Parks . . or at least Pennsylvania State Parks. Not only are they adding full hookups to existing facilities but some are adding on entire new camping loops.

@tom13227 4 месяца назад

We snowbird on the AL coast until Easter. On Jan 2, we made a 90 day reservation for Northern MI. We made a reservation in TX for next winter ('25) already. So the answer is, YES. You must plan ahead.

@larryadelberg6676 4 месяца назад

Add the reluctance of many areas to build RV parks, the capacity issue will only resolve when people start exiting the RV experience. Someone tried to build a new park in our area and the county residents fought it aggressively.

@karenwalters2586 3 месяца назад

We have traveled for 40 years in our rv’s. We always made reservations in Jan for the entire year. Even then we didn’t want to get stuck with 4 kids and no campground to stay in. We traveled every summer for several weeks. Reservations in advance let us pick our sites. We also made reservations for where we would stay overnight along the way. Hopping back on the freeway was crucial time saver. We could then make reservations for attractions we wanted to see. Nothing worse than going t see something and you needed tickets 9 months ago.

@jonedwards2107 24 дня назад

It’s what I do. Subaru Outback tow vehicle, small Jayco trailer. Currently 400 watts solar (going to add 200 more), 3000w pure sine inverter. 20’ trailer has 30lb propane tank, 30 gallon freshwater tank, 20lb grey & black water tanks. Full bath, tankless hot water heater. Carry a 2500w generator in case of crummy weather. Our longest trip so far boondocking only has been five days, but could do longer if we wished. We like being home on weekends, though, so go out during the week.

The number of glamping seems to be going up. Camp ground with limited services still tend to be easy to grab. I suppose the problem is for those who want power to run their AC, and fridges, and to have pools rather then people who want to camp to get away.

For me the biggest issue right now is increased complexity of getting INTO National Parks.. Lottery ticket systems and timed tickets make a spontaneous trip out west into Disneyworld 2.0.. I am not driving THAT far hoping to get into a park.

@loganl7547 3 месяца назад

My wife and I have been RV vacationers for over a decade, we never really had a difficult time finding a campground for the weekend with a few days notice and in many cases, just dropping in. However since that 2020 season we struggled to find campsites every single weekend for 2 years, were often forced to settle for sites we didn't like, and were forced to live elbow to elbow with strangers as many of our favorite campgrounds reduced their site sizes to make more sites from the same space, many cut all their trees as well. So last year we took the plunge and bought a 1/4 acre lot to plop our trailer on in a community thats designed for people who want a quiet disconnected vacation without the crowds. We got lucky though, I know availability is very low on property like that now.

@patriciamoore3318 9 дней назад

@unclebillscamping 9 дней назад

Definitly more campers on the road since covid but the sales have dropped considerably or at least the production. During the pandemic and slightly after manufacturers in Goshen couldn’t make them fast enough. Now their lots are full as sellers are not taking on as much inventory. I wouldn’t travel and availability to normalize for at least a decade.

Perfect time to explore Canada. The high US dollar will go farther.

@CrossBorderCamping 4 месяца назад

Thanks for your perspective on this. I doubt you will see this being so far down on your list, but no biggie. We are full-time RVers in Canada. We spend the summers on our property in Alberta and spend the winters in British Columbia close to the US border. We have seen absolutely nothing about what we are hearing from friends in the US. Our wintertime campground was FULL last year, and on the way here we just barely got an overnight spot in Banff. This year? We were the only ones staying in the campground in Banff, and our winter campground only has 11 spots out of 41 rented. What we are hearing is that a lot of the people that got RVs during the pandemic decided it is not exactly how they wanted to go, and are off to Costa Rica or the Dominican like they used to pre-travel-restrictions. This probably only applies to Canada, as it is harder to find a winter spot that you don't still get blasted with snow and cold sometimes, so people go WAY south. I feel super bad for our campground managers...they get paid based on the number of guests staying here. I just wanted to bring up a bit of a different perspective. I will know more from personal experience about this issue this fall, when I go to Pittsburgh to visit my family.

I have to wonder what Florida’s new law that gives residents priority over non-residents in reservations at those campgrounds. I also think that most campgrounds should adopt the same policy of COE reservations and that they can’t be made but 6 months out at the earliest.

Well said! We seem to only have to really plan ahead & reserve somewhat ahead of time in the S/E of the country. We can still wing it further West.

@karonguy Месяц назад

We have an American Fifth Wheel over here in the UK, and we are a rarity but our parks are pretty good, but their pitches tend to be too short. But that aside, I'd like to ask if the USA campsites have the concept of a 'firebreak'? Where there is a set distance between campers, so if there is a fire the unit next door wouldn't be impacted (well that's the theory). We have it here in the UK and the main problem we find is that because our door is on the 'opposite' side to most UK campers, we aren't allowed on site unless we have the 'odd' pitch at the corner of the park.

Unfortunately , in the PNW, many campgrounds are extremely limited because of the “full timers”. People pick prime spots and live full time often taking up a few spots and leave few spots for visitors. 😢

@krisg3984 4 месяца назад

Doesn’t matter how glamorous your rig is. You have to lug it everywhere and accommodate it. And it’s STILL camping out. Campgrounds are full of rules and pricey . Then there’s the cost of FUEL - geez, try California for super high costs , I had to turn around. This winter, the Rv park I’m staying over the winter had huge amounts of cancellations. The economy is not great and I m not sure it’s Popularity or necessity that your Trending shows . Some have had to move out of renting home or apartments because it’s become insanely overpriced

@oneeverest7332 2 месяца назад

We brought our first RV in our mid 20s, we upgraded due to many camp grounds not allowing older models. So we got a 2022 c class and then had problems getting campsites due to being full. So we had to purchase our own. We’re millennials with kids from kindergarten to high school. We don’t do full time, we are part timers. But I believe families especially that are part time should be able to get campsites.

@ascensionlady5318 2 месяца назад

Those points are not really "Threat". Those are more like inconvenience. Many popular sites are always overcrowded. But some RV parks are almost empty. Real threat is so many people have become RV homeless because the price of rent become so high in some area.

many cities and states refuse to allow new rv parks to be built as they don't get as much money in taxes and many of they people who are in rv's are low income ---often refered to as trailer trash which leads to the age rule of your rig ----nothing over 10 years just wait til the crash happens and you see people losing their homes and have no where else to go----gonna get interesting FYI IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY

@rebeckahb623 3 месяца назад

The age rule is almost always waived if you send photos of the exterior of your camper in advance, to show that it's not an eye sore. We were worried about it buying an 11 year old rig but haven't been refused anywhere with a ten year rule yet.

Over the years I Use KOA less and less. Why? I know what I paid for a site in 2007 and what they ask for the same site now. Same with Encore and Sun Outdoors. Big rip offs.

@williamguy5507 2 месяца назад

We have been Rving over 30 years and have always avoided kOA as they seem to consistently be the most expensive in any area.

Thank you for the info. I am guessing with bidenomics, unaffordable housing, crime, and over populating city/urban areas-- camp grounds will be a premium, with people escaping and living in parks. I am looking for traveling, to see large areas traveling for weeks at at time, not vacation plans. It never occurred to me that I can't just pull up to a site and stay for a week or so. I am not talking about the 150 million snowbirds who travel south and demand to be catered to. I am looking to see the country, year round, not looking for a snowbird camp, or a place to live.

Another huge change/threat is climate change that has brought us extreme temperatures and smoky skies over huge sections of NA during summer.

I think RVing is very limiting, you can only visit the US and Canada, the world has so much more to offer!! so many cultures/places all over the world, SouthAmerica alone in my opinion has way more sights than NorthAmerica

You’re not wrong but there is so much to see here in ‘Murica that it’s not like you’re stuck going to the same old place year in and year out.

@Elizabeth-rq1vi 3 месяца назад

We’ve planed out a 4yr travel plan, 6mos. In Canada & 6 mos in US, and we won’t cover everything that is available to see in either country. After the 4yrs we’re planning on international travel. Drive while we can then fly.

@rebeckahb623 3 месяца назад

So many Americans focus on international travel but don't ever go see what's in their own backyard. There are incredible sights and cultures with an array of climates and terrains. My grandparents traveled full time for ekeven years and still came out with a long list of places they never got to see within the US that they had hoped to get to after full timing. Sadly it never happened but those years traveling were the best and happiest of their life. My partner traveled full time for two years and mostly only managed to see the major national parks, and a few beaches in that time. The U.S. is hardly a place to feel 'stuck' in. We're heading out in a month for a few years of full time travel so that I can have these experiences I've primarily been on the sidelines from. I've been to other countries more than I've traveled the US.

Arvie no...these RV are dangerous. Not only to the owners but also to all people using yhe roads. They are to big, long and overweight. Most of them need more maintenance than owners give them. And owners drive and misjudge and others motorists are nervous and only eant to get around them. Will RV be outlawed? No, that won't happen. They will become overpriced andyes you are right about campgrounds. The zoning laws could become very strict. Even more strict than they are now. Campgrounds which limit RV's by age, will probably limit sales too. What is going to happen when your RV has to go to the dump? RV's will be limited in all National and State Parks as well ss BLM land because people are nasty slobs, with their trash and sewer. These RV's will always be around but there will be more and more problems with them. Ja, An RV is like a boat.... Just keep throwing your money into it.
