Starting tomorrow, I'll be using a park for about two months that changes what I consider to be a pretty high monthly rate ($525) plus it charges a $150 deposit and electric. I've never even been to a park that charged for electric much less a deposit. I'm used to $400-500$ monthly at excellent parks and that includes wifi, etc. I've paid as much as $600 but that was a ripoff near Mesa Verde.
Why am I going to pay that much? Because the area I'm staying in doesn't have any other parks that come to the standard that I'm used to. This place certainly doesn't look like anything over the top as it is all concrete but it's in the location I want to be so I have little choice. My main choices are this place or returning home to central Texas and the 100 temps. I don't go east of the Mississippi so I don't know what it is back east, but this is a first for me out west (I'm in Oregon). I exclude CA because ... I exclude CA. |

I am an RV Park owner, 3 yrs. ago we installed meters after we received an electric bill in the amount of over $8000.00. If we hadn't we would have gone out of business. I have witnessed people using a large electric heater during the winter while in their underwear with the doors and windows open, I have also seen the same scenario in the summer with 3 air conditioners. I do not however charge a deposit.
