We found a park in Scottsdale for our friends coming to visit this winter for a month or so read this bs if you are going to stay for over a month 4 pages so I will hit the high lights
Name and SS number
current address
previous address
employment history
past
present
spouse
same bs as above
bank reference
for both
make and model of Rv
here is the kicker
35 dollars for a criminal background check and 35 dollars for a credit check non refundable cashiers check only 35.00 each and this place will not take a debit ,credit card or check cash only
Is this normal for RV parks now for extended stays sound like bs to me for 700 dollars a month I'll find him another spot
good luck
It sure as H isn't normal for any of the parks we stay in Clifford. Times must be pretty good down there if they can get away with that crap. I'd fill in most of those lines with "none of your effing business" and see what they come back with.
Doesn't really sound trustworthy to me?? Almost like a scam? How about their personal info and a performance bond. Bob

I think you should say the name of the place just to avoid everybody else to drive there and waste time and gas.
I like it, unless short stays are not given the same treatment. Then it is ridiculous. JIm
Only one in Scottsdale why post a name you can stay there same as any RV Park up to week they call it a residency procedure if for a month or more, it cost 55 bucks a night or 300 a week $10 for each pet a day,week or month figure that one
Location is the best around 2 blocks from downtown Old Scottsdale 2 blocks from Fashion Square where you can buy a pair of socks for 10 bucks lol
good luck
And that is why i have heard some people refer to it as, "Snottsdale".
Give us a break Ed it is not all bad here people still drink beer from a bottle then some drink $50 a glass wine that tastes like crap, they even have a WalMart but it is in Phoenix by a 100 yards at Cactus and Tatum
I didn't see anything about not allowing converted school buses?
Anyway, I knew someone who was fulltiming in a trailer for work and he had to move his trailer out before 90 days and then he could come back and re-register. Something about staying longer than 90 days gave him homeowner rights making it much harder for the park to get rid of him if he decided to quit paying rent. But this was in Los Angeles-- maybe these people have had some bad experiences. Not that I am excusing their B.S..

FYI, it is against federal law to require a Social Security number for any product or service EXCEPT a bona-fide tax or Social Security matter. If anyone refuses said service or product AFTER being advised, it's an automatic fine & possible jail time, AND the "victim" gets part of the fine. I have used this myself on people who want to get snotty. I used to carry a copy of the law around in my brief case.

I don't give my SS number for anything It causes me problems sometimes but I hold my ground mine is so old it was issued before paper was manufactured

You don't need to give out your number Cliff, everyone knows it's #1 ;D
FWIW, in The Lee,Collier,and Charlotte county area of SW Florida they have the same deal for long term..credit and background check, they did credit the fee tho.to your rent if you passed.
Wierd thing tho..my dear wife is dead.according to Equifax, and i have the paper to prove it LOL
were it not for my 91 year old Dad I would not have agreed to the BS.
But you do what you gotta do.
We encountered some of the RV 'Resorts' down in Yuma that had similar rental agreement background checks for their long term stays. And I do recall once we setup at a RV Park/Mobile Home park in San Francisco for a couple months that had us go through the full rental background check. It's not all that different than renting an apartment in some respects, actually.
But that said, we'd prefer to avoid such places if we can. :)

Hey Clifford, i wasn't the one who coined the phrase. Just heard it used a time or two. ;D We went to Scottsdale several times while we lived in Strawberry, roamed around the art galleries mostly.
We ran into it a couple of times too in California. We have also been told if you are there more than 29 days in any month you become a fulltime resident ( in the legal world of the campground owner). Some even want to give you a mailbox. 10.00 per cat and we told them they don't go outside, they didn't care. 5.00 a day per extra car? or Boat if it was a marina type CG.

Parks are getting dumb enough and expensive enough that we are starting to avoid them certain places we go. I'm not forwarding them a photo of our coach every time we want to stay there. Sheesh. With an efficient diesel genset, it's almost cheaper to make my own power and park on the side of the road or truck stops.

We are trying to get a piece of property re zoned for a RV park in Cave Creek seems like city fathers do not want a nice park in their area these idiots think it is a house that will use the same amount of water and sewer not even close
This one council member has brochure with a conversion with a bath and half and all he can talk about is how much water it will use
Part of this B S is do to Ex-cons & Sex offenders needing a place to live after getting out of jail! Same thing at a RV park in Shaver Lake Ca.
Clifford, motels use more water than rv parks do! Lvmci...
