Jack Mayer Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 It would be helpful to know the size of the covered RV parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Is there a window in the bedroom? The pic didn't show one. I would think it would be code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) At first I wondered what does the community BSLR stand for? Then I saw it on the bottom. I think you should lead with the full name as a religious community is a complete turn off to some, and a plus to others. I'd add pictures of all sides and back walls of the structure. I'd want to know the width and height of the RV parking space, and how thick the concrete slab is under the parking spot and if different under the living area, and what was used for secondary concrete reinforcement - wire, rebar, fiber, and what psi concrete was used.. How long is the fiver shown in the pictures? Also since you mention Propane and electric oven the very important issue of utilities comes up. Today we need to know if it has cable broadband, or other broadband (DSL, WISP) and if other, what type and speeds? What utilities are to the property? Natural gas? City or well water? City sewage or owner operated wastewater treatment plant? If so what type? Copper phone service for a landline? Garbage pickup? I went and saw all the other pics and it is fantastic! Not too big and not too small for a retired RVing couple. Beautifully done! I did see the cell boosters mentioned for cell and cell data, is cable or DSL or a dedicated WISP available?

bigjim Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 rv. you do realize that is where Kirk and his dear wife have there home base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Jim, Yes I figured that out when I saw the description and location. So? I don't see what difference that makes for anyone, as, like a religious community, that could be a plus for some and a minus for others. I wasn't considering it at all. I was just suggesting what I would like to know from an ad about the concrete for heavy RVs, and the max height. If you have not gone to their link go look. Their ductwork and decking in the attic are surprisingly well done, better than most I see, and in line with the rest of the workmanship in it. We will be moving North (Colorado) out of this crazy hot weather, or out of the country, next year sometime after we finish disposing of the properties from our recently deceased parents. We will fly to the places we are considering and when we decide, buy there and liquidate our own excess furniture and property in preparation to sell our acreage and new house. Fortunately my wife holds estate sales. Edited February 15, 2017 by RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado is very nice most of the year. What "other" countries are you considering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 What "other" countries are you considering? Might it be more appropriate to not hijack the person's thread for a personal conversation? I think that this forum is for advertising RV properties for sale?

RV_ Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Jack, B.C. Canada, Colombia SA in Bogota in the Andes with cool weather year round, or Costa Rica, last choice Colorado. Kirk, No worse than jumping in a thread about helping someone with a Windows problem, only to troll it with anti Windows comments and then how they were switching to Apple. How's that working out? I was surprised you didn't help your neighbor out. The rest of us did. Have great week because today is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs5QJi-dX-4 Edited February 16, 2017 by RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I know a couple of other folks that are at this place or at least were the last we spoke and are happy with it. I considered it in the past but a medical issue cropped up that stopped me. Kirk is a good source of info for this place and has been helpful to his neighbors in the past trying to sell their spots. Now I am wishing I could find one real near Texarkana on the Texas side. Hmmm, maybe near Shreveport. Just kidding and sorry for the slight hijack on the last part.

RV_ Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) No problem Jim. As you saw I endorsed and only asked him to add what I was missing. I agree, if one wants to be in Texas, that RV oriented Christian community is awesome from what KIrk has said.in the past and the pics of others there. I would be buying it in a heartbeat if I was not looking to get out of this horrible-to-me-climate. It looks great! Priced very nice for what you get. Others say they love the heat, and I am making room for them soon but I rarely see them outside for long in mid August high temps. As for Kirk, I would have no problem moving in next door to anyone. I wave Hi to my neighbors and have not spoken to them in a year. My next door neighbors are both Ministers, AND retired military. He is no bogey man to me or anyone I speak with. And for neighbors that are a PITA anywhere, remember the old adage from Benjamin Franklin , “Love thy neighbor, yet don’t pull down your hedge.” Edited February 16, 2017 by RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalpoodle Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'll try to answer some of the questions... The place was built by a contractor. There is a window in the bedroom. AT & T will not provide any new DSL lines. Most people use a hot spot or dish for internet. No cable. Again most people us dish for tv or an antennae which brings in some channels from the Dallas area as well as Tyler and possibly Longview. The concrete slab is six inches (6") with rebar. The concrete under the apartment is about 2" higher to prevent water coming in due to rain, etc. There is both city water and well water. Well water is used only for watering lawns and washing vehicles. The sewer is a septic system. A community trash bin is located at the entrance of the property. Cost of city water and trash are included in the annual dues. There is no natural gas. The 100 gallon propane tank is owned, not leased. The fifth wheel in the picture is approximately 32' in length. I do not have the measurements of the area for the RV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Hawes Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Even though this is an OLD post, I have to ask . . . any other lot / buildings like this one? Jonathan Hawes Checking in from Palm Bay, FL 32905 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it has changed quite recently, that particular home is still available. I know that it was a month ago when we visited there. There are also several other houses currently for sale there. Just visit Bass Lake Christian Retirement Community on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
