  1. We LIVED on the Blue Ridge Parkway for 3 seasons while we managed a visitor center/restaurant at milepost 339 called Crabtree Falls (used to be Crabtree Meadows) on the North Carolina section. I would NEVER recommend anyone travel the BRP with a large rig. It CAN be done, but it won't be pleasant. You will be so busy watching out for bicyclists, motorcycles, slow-moving cars, and trying not to let any wheels go off the paved surface that it will totally ruin the drive for you. It is also very hard on your brakes. Even the passenger/co-pilot won't enjoy the ride as it will be too stressful. Once again, I am sure there are those who have done it and will say "pooh-pooh" it was easy, but I witnessed too many folks pull into the campground at Crabtree Falls who said they would NEVER do it again and ask how they could get off the BRP as soon as possible. That's another problem. You can't just take any exit road that comes up. Many of them are extremely dangerous for large or heavy vehicles because of switchbacks and steep grades , so your options are limited and you MUST do your research ahead of time. Good luck to you.

  4. As a member of the Florida SKP Co-Op, I will pass your question on to Skip P. who handles reservations who may be able to come here to explain. I remember only one instance in the past 7 years where the unexpected return of a medical-challenged Co-op member to his already-rented-for-the-season site caused an issue. In that case, the renters stayed on the site they were expecting to be on for the season, the returning "ill" member went onto another member's site which had been vacated by a caring member who moved his RV into an area not usually used for RVs so that the "ill" member had a full hook up site to use. This is an example of our Sharing and Caring philosophy. So the renters stayed where they were, a caring member volunteered to move from his site to another area without full hook ups so the "ill" member could use his full hook up site. As Skip P. has explained to me, nowadays usually a site or two are "held" for emergency situations such as this so no one is displaced. You can call the office and ask for a call back from Skip P. who can answer your concerns. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Florida SKP Resort. Denny and Cindy Henderson
  5. The SKP Resort in Wauchula fared remarkably well. A few park models had some damage and one completely lost a Florida room. A few trees were laid over but none landed atop any rigs. The park has its own water and sewer system, so even though we are without power, generators are giving us water and sewer service. We are far enough from the Peace River that it is not a danger to our park. Cracker Lake, however, is just up the road and is completely flooded. So is Thousand Trails Peace River rv park. Our park was fortunate. No one suffered any injuries, most of us had minimal, if any, damage, and all of us are anxiously awaiting power to be restored.
  6. Here at the SKP Resort in Wauchula, many of us secured our property as best as possible and evacuated. Some are staying. We are all in contact via FB, message+, Constant Contact emails, etc. Prayers for everyone in the path of the hurricane and best wishes that we all fare well at the SKP Resort in Wauchula. Hope we'll be able to return to the park and our SKP family and friends soon.
  7. Many people are confused and think that a "ventless" dryer means the air from the dryer comes out into the RV somehow and will cause humidity/moisture problems. Not the case. A "ventless" dryer works completely differently from a standard dryer. It dries the clothes with the use of a condenser and cold water. No moisture is released into the RV. All the extra water goes down the drain--and it is a considerable amount. A regular dryer vents to wherever you place the vent. Hope this helps.
