s106300 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 We are at Pioneer Trails in Anacortes, WA. Nice park but hard to get a spot with satellite reception as there are LOTS of trees. They are selling RV spaces (yes, SPACES - not "lots") for $57K to $157K; higher priced spots have gazebos and 100A. Double wide spaces (THOR, Freya, and Loki are comfortably parked here in our space and there is a picnic table and fire ring.) The space we are in is for sale for $82K. Beautiful wooded area about 4 miles from town. Good facilities throughout. Must pay electricity. If you buy, there are also fees for the HOA ($75) and $46 for property tax. You actually own the space. No idea what resell would be; they just started selling. Some already purchased and folks have put really nice park models on them (tiny houses). Seems pretty pricey to me, nonetheless. We are here for the holidays visiting kids and grandkids. Beautiful here in the spring, summer, and fall; chilly right now - almost noon and 31 degrees. Clear blue sky today - has been raining for the past week. Won't get over 34 today and most days temperature will go from low to mid 30's. Some days down into 20's. Not much snow in these parts except on the hills/mountains. Hanging here through mid Jan; maybe even mid February. Good news is that University of Washington doctors have determined that Ron's tumor is NOT a GIST, it is a benign Lipoma and does not need to be surgically removed. He is doing much better!

PEIFamily Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Is it a corporate thing with Bucees or up to the manager? We used to go to the new Braunfels one a lot. Now the Volvo is our daily driver.

HERO Maker Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 From what I understand, Corporate has never contacted any one of us who emails them. Pretty poor business practice.

That's why many of us decided to go the HDT route, to have that useability. Sounds like it will be a gathering again.

Jack Mayer Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 That, rick, is a hell of a good looking rig! That is just what I'm looking for, too. A short 630 (610) with room for a scooter on the back. Only I'd have to find an iShifter... There are many advantages to the short 630. We used our 610 for over three years as our only vehicle, and we were fulltiming. It really was fine....and it had an autoshift. With an IShift it would be a great daily driver. We had a 182" wheelbase. No ability to carry a smart, but we could easily carry a motorcycle. Renovations to the interior to make it more "livable" will make it a great week-long camping vehicle. RIck has a sink, as we did. And we added a second bunk, portapotty, microwave, coffee maker, shore power and inverter. I had a gas camping stove we could use outside on the bed. Along with a nice kitchen kit we could do about anything in the truck, and be comfortable. If we had air conditioning (which we did not) via an APU then it would have been close to perfect. I still miss that truck, but the modern trucks are so much better for amenities and driving. Quote Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.
