We Got KICKED OUT of our RV Park | Fulltime RV Living | The Downside to Fulltime RV Life

Think there's NO DRAMA in RV life? Think again! Our video highlights what happens when you choose the wrong campground to spend a week relaxing and unwinding! While we do give some consideration to user reviews, we don't always mark a campground off our list just because of a handful of poor reviews! Unfortunately, we paid the price this time and will now consider ALL reviews that pertain to power shortages and general upkeep! Let our mistake save you the drama of dealing with a park manager that thinks your "big rig is taking all the power out of their park". One highlight that came from this huge inconvenience, is that our next campground, just outside of Glacier National Park, was able to accommodate us four days early! Thanks to getting kicked out, we got to see Glacier three times instead of just once, which we originally had planned! Oh, and our new campground had plenty of electricity for ALL of the rigs in their campground and was well kept!

Thank you so much for the heads-up, from all of us full time rv'ers. We will never stop there, and will continue to pass the message.

Love when places say the pool is closed due to covid but we all know it's just an excuse so they dont have to maintain it.

[SewHappy]

Oh that stinks. We recently got kicked out of our permanent campground because we used our E-bikes (manager stated it violated their (outdated) motorized vehicle rules, but there were other campers that had real motorcycles, atv's etc and that was ok). We had only been in there a month and suddenly we felt like outsiders. In fact the manager kept referring to us as the 'newbies'. When my fiance' put the e-bike situation on his private FB page, the manager found out, she knocked on our door and very angrily told us to pack our bags and leave immediately. We're glad to be out of there. Bad vibes and their pool was never open.

Thank you for your honesty and more importantly, naming this disgusting rv camp site. We all need to start naming names of camp sites and even RV Dealers that are questionable. By bringing thses entities to the forfront they will either change their ways or go out of business. Let us all get together and share the bad stories & experiences so others can avoid!!

We left an rv park once. The red flag should of been the 9.5 speed limit signs. They had rules for rules. The biggest thing I learned was don't stay at rv parks that mainly have permanent residence. It seemed we were always being watched by the full-time residence. The park was a real click. Why they even rented space to travelers just passing through, I don't know. We lost money because they don't give refunds for early departure. Didn't care left early anyways to get out of there. Never pay a month in advance if you've never been to the park beforehand to check it out.

We had similar issues at other campgrounds. Even if the campground couldn't correct the problem I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for assistance. KOA is our absolute last choice in campgrounds. They're usually poorly maintained and always over priced.

The most epic horrible experience I had was in my trailer in Virginia at a campsite. I woke at 1am because the trailer next to me was on fire, I hastily reconnected it to my hitch, pulled all cables and just as I got onto the truck cab, fires instantly erupted at 6 trailers!! Apparently lightning was hitting the power line somewhere close by and making it into the trailers ultimately burning them up, for whatever reason even new surge suppressors didn't help these people.

[bigguy]

Holy cow we were planning on staying there at that campground next month because it's close to were we needed to be for business deal but I just called to cancel. Thanks for heads up.

[sewdutch]

I live near that campground. Before I took residence here, I came for a wedding and was going to stay for a week. I was going to car camp in someone's driveway, but became sick, and thought I better go to the campground for better facilities. They wanted $55/night, no electricity, tent-site (5yrs ago), but no tent, no grass either. But with no tent, my car was now an rv in their mind and so, would cost more, and I had not told them yet I had a child and dog with me. So I gave up, went into town and found a cheaper place: a hotel room with air-conditioning, fridge, stove, bathroom, TV, privacy for a whole week. Only negative was, dog had to stay in my car.

I take bad reviews very seriously (on anything) Rave and good reviews are too easy to planted by the owner or bought and paid for. Thanks for the warning !

[CATNAPREAL]

Oh thank you. You took me back about 10 years ago when my husband and I were Camp Host's. We were recent empty nesters and it was one of the best experiences of my life. As a rule of thumb people who go camping and or hiking go with nothing but the best of intentions. They usually intend to relax, hike, fish, the whole relaxing ball of wax. We hosted for about 5 years during the summer and worked from Northern Washington to the border of California and Mexico on the Santa Fe trail. Sure we had a couple of hiccups, like no electricity, water, drunk people occasionally, but for the most part the people were nice, friendly and they came for a good time or to relax. Like I said THANX for the memories your video brought back. Hope your travels all go well. Take Care.

I think its bizarre modern campers don't come factory loaded with solar. I built a system with lithium that keeps us and ACs running 24/7 for 3 or 4 days... with intermittent AC we have virtually unlimited runtime, no hookup. It is wild seeing 30ft+ campers with dinky little lead acid batteries that will run some LEDs and maybe the water pump for at most a few days... something needs to change in the industry.

New, full time rver here, reviews are always jaded with the ability of some sites allowing editing of online reviews. I am handicapped and wheelchair mostly. I'm considering starting a channel for accessible campsites.

[mrorbitu]

Once you brought up the box fan not working, I was 100% on board. Don't mess with my box fan at night.

And yes Kevin, many people these days hate the damn truth. I dont get it but its TRUE🤷‍♂️

[Jimmyz]

Some people don’t like when others give bad reviews but I love when others give the good, bad and the ugly. Last thing I want is to waste time. Thanks for the vid I’ve been always wanting to go out to Montana with my trailer and thank you again.

I camped at a very highly rated campground near Santa Fe NM and hooked up to 30A and my surge protector kicked the power off due to a ground fault, so I switched to 50A with an adapter which worked fine. I went over and told the manager about it and why I was on 50A and he came over and said you don't even have a surge protector. I told him my Airstream is 46 years old but I have an inboard surge protector with a digital readout. He said he'd have to shut the whole row down to fix it so he wasn't going to fix it! Another time, I stayed in an RV park on the East side of the river near downtown St. Louis and had the same problem. They moved me to an adjacent site and replaced the pedestal within an hour of me telling them. I've stayed there a couple of times since then. Some parks take maintenance seriously and some don't.

[NomadicTrio]

This was almost our story exactly at a Virginia campground!! So sorry this happened to you, and good for you for finding the positive in the situation and getting out of dodge quick!

[MsMadmax]

My spouse and I are going to be retiring in the near future. We had thought about purchasing an RV that was on the smaller side and drive around the country to try and find a spot to live permanently. I've heard nothing but horror stories both about RV campgrounds and shoddy construction of RV's and the manufacturer not standing behind their products.

[MarciesWhimsySoaps]

The KOA in Dickson, TN is the same. Its basically a homeless camp. I lived there for about a year and a half.😏

[thomastanner]

Y'all are the most sweetest people I can ever see on YouTube and the most nicest people and got the best-looking family anybody could ever have
