runaway parents Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 So the problem with the big rigs is getting a site big enough to park it in .Well lets see would it be cost effective to purchase two small sites side buy side. Park truck in one, trailer in the other. Are all sites priced the same regardless of size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 We try to find parks with over flow parking. I have paid $25 to park truck. Don't believe a problem with vacationing or full timing and retired. Lets see, a site beside us would be an extra 350.00.

redcrzr Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Not cost effective & usually not practical. If the site is too small for the 5th wheel & truck, it's probably too small to get into from the get go. Over flow parking for the tow vehicle is an option if there is electric available to keep the batteries charged.

Second issue is most small sites are back in and all the sites around are the same so maneuvers may be difficult. oops, Redcrzr and I replying at same time, but same points. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

redcrzr Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 You're right Glen. I had a bad experience with a small solar charger this past summer. 4 "dead" batteries. I need to buy a better system.

rickeieio Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Maybe we've been lucky, but we've always been able to find a spot. Maybe not our first choice, but not a big deal either. we're moving from Polk City, FL to Cedar Key. By postponing our move one day, we're getting in where we want to be. Not too bad for not having reservations in the high season.

dblr Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 We have never had a problem yet but if we feel cramped on the site with everything I have no problem parking truck elsewhere if needed, now our stops are usually never longer then a week or two at one place and we have nothing extra in truck like a fridge or other things to drain the batteries. 2017 River Stone Legacy 38MB 2001 T2000 Kenworth 2009 Smart Passion ET Junior hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
