certify BUS for RV park

[richard5933]

Don't call or make a reservation, just pull up and ask them if they have a space for the night, week, or whatever....worked for me, i only got turned down once and that was at a state park in Montana and only because they were already full. Just went down the road to another rv park.  Only place i ever called was Thousand Trails and that was because i was a member.

For the next few years with the rapid expansion of the RV world, finding campsites like this is going to be more and more difficult.

The one time I was asked about the age of my bus a few photos via email took care of the issue.

But mostly, their house their rules.

If fuel prices go through the roof again, won't be a problem. It'll kill the rv industry again. Look at history. People on Facebook already complaining about fuel price spikes.

True, but I think that people got used to the recently artificial low prices and are now shocked that they're returning more towards normal. Still nowhere near the near $4/gal nationwide average for unleaded a few years ago.

who cares the cost of diesel when you just put your hand out and money falls from the sky.

It is what it is. Wanna dance, got to pay the band... If we ever run out of $$$ to put in the tank then our bus will really be a tiny home period - just hope we'd have enough $$ for diesel to park it in AK! Lol

Where did guys buy fuel for 4 bucks a gal a few years ago I haven't paid 4 bucks for fuel since 2007 lol it did cost 5 bucks to get home it was quite the deal, we left home paying $1.50 in 3 months it was over 5 bucks a gal.Higher fuel prices will take a toll selling it always does when you start paying 500 to a $1000.00  for a tank of fuel takes all the fun out of it

Timing is everything isn't it?

Guess thats why Cliff never comes east. Lots of neat places to see. Lots of real trees, not any scrub brush and sand.🤣

[dtcerrato]

Lot's of sand in FL & most of it's wet! We live in an upland scrub oak & sand pine forest, brush not so much. Never forget the automated diesel storage tank & pump we saw at an AK road's end @ $7/gal.

You just have to word it carefully when you talk to RV parks. I have a 1980 shorty Prevost. Got it in November. So when they ask what I have and how old it is, since it is a Custom Coach conversion and I have only had it six months (which makes it "new" to me) I just say "Country Coach Bus and it is new.". But some good advice above is given above. We usually stop early in the day, so if they ask us more than one question we don't like, we hang up, keep driving, and Rita pretty quickly finds one that will take our money. We generally get approved everywhere we have tried so far. It is however a rapidly changing scenario. Last three trips the bigger challenge once in the gate of an RV park has been trying to drive around the now immensely popular 40 foot 5th wheels with a truck sticking out in the RV park road in front, and bicycles on the back of the trailer sticking out on that lane. Just have to take it slow. Record sales of big 5th wheels last two years running means we better get used to it...
Safe travels.

   Hi;
     When I check into a RV park I ask the first question,  "Do you have room for a 40'foot  coach?"  Usually , the answer is "yes". and they

     usually don't even look out the window to have a 'look see"  I have had no problem so far.   (west coast). Don't give any more info than

     necessary.
