I really wish TH-camrs would stop naming videos something that they aren't. This isn't a how to start from 0. This is two experienced guys having a conversation from a perspective of already having done it.
Its taken me 18 months to build my park. I opened parts of in 5 months but it was rough...its just been me 1 helper and my heavy equipment owner. Lots of rain delays. Health dept by law is supposed to get back to you within 10 days and they would often take 3 weeks to approve or disapprove of a change our engineer made. I never imagined 35 slips would take that long but we had to build 2 massive retaining walls and haul in thousands of yards of dirt. In tbe end its 100% paid for but business has been slow. Weve yet to get to 50% capacity. Rv parks have doubled in my area since i started mine.
Thank you for the video. I would like to have a RV park and live there FT. I was thinking of doing this as my retirement. Love to hear the insight and details on what you experienced. The cost, the amenities, the little things. Much Appreciated.
great video my friend, i would love to see more of these type video and more in dept of the processes to get the RV parks up and running along with construction processes.
What I’m trying to find out because I just bought some land and I’m trying to find out do I get the electrical installed first, then septic sewer lines then water from the well then I have to put the asphalt on the road. I guess that’s last but first I have to trim a bunch of trees so they don’t fall and destroy stuff. It is a lot to do and figure out.
Trees should be looked at by an arborist. You can trim them or cable them. We had a tree fall on our rv in a park, our insurance paid us so we could purchase another rv. It would be in your best interest to look after the health of trees.
@@taraquo yeah the past two weeks we probably cut down 50 trees, rented excavator three days ago and burning everything in piles were putting in the sewer lines tomorrow, going to use it to dig the trench then a lot of work but saved money just me and a guy from craigslist! Lol probably $15,000 worth of work only cost me about 2800
@@FromTheHood2TheWoods its like the guy in the video said, saving money but spending more time building, can cost a whole lot more than you saved in lost revenue due to not being open. time is money.
Okay, it wasn't just me. I thought I missed something. I wish there was a video where someone breaks down the exact cost they paid for each thing. More transparency would be nice.

What are some of the numbers for engineering design? Is it possible to find out more about the real costs for development?

What about RVs that are self contained? Would that cut down cost

The comment he was looking for is "you're jumping over a dollar to make a dime"
Great info.
Appreciate your input, it means a lot to me.
Thanks TLD for the RV park information -- thumbs up; 👍
May God bless you & your family.
Your kind words mean a lot! Wishing you and your family all the best as well.
What was the engineer for? Septic?
That's correct!
Hello, I’m in west Texas (oilfield). My question is, how many rv spots do I need to have leasing in order to make $250,000 profit per year?
Looking for business partner. West Texas along I-10 looks great.
What is a ribbon curb?
You can goggle some pictures, but it's basically crown molding for the road surface. Looks really nice.
It's a curb without a sidewalk.
Is your place out on Hudson Bend by any chance?
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Great information
Glad you liked it
Not a good video cuz you didn't really cover anything at all

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Your input helps me improve my content for you.
Jumping over a dime to get a penny
