A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

..
Just thinking out loud here. For those of you who have been here, IF I was going to put in a drive/pad to accommodate my RVing friends that would not have to be backed in either in or out, where would you think it should be:

1) at the house (would have electric and water, no sewer, no shade)

2) over by, and in front of, the out buildings (where the Mobile Marlin is stored) more facing the pond - water, electric, sewer, no shade.

3) in front of the outbuildings (closer to the "Road of No Traffic") Shade, water, sewer, electric, street view

If it wasn't raining right now, I'd go take a peek at the slope of the property where there is real shade.

Oh, Mitch, why not just put one in each of those places?

..
LOLOL - I'd love to. I'll take up a collection to help pay for the Blue Marlin RV Development Project.

I don't know if this works - here's a Photobucket album with difference shots of potential sites.

I've never linked an entire album.

Or she could have some of those big trees dug up & replanted so there would be shade, right!

Liz, think of how high she would have to raise her rates to pay for all that construction.

Just thinking that if you put the pad nearer the house....some folks don't have as far to walk to make it to the club house.....they can't stay too long because their tanks will fill.... And that could be good.....

If someone was visiting/staying for longer periods...over by the MM would provide more privacy for everybody and full hook ups.

Stuart says he can make the run to the pond from any where.

Or you could just shut up.

Oh, by the way - WHAT big trees?

Well, that wasn't very helpful. Funny, though! Especially the Stuart part!

If one is not staying for long, I tell them they are allowed to run their gray water. But Vickie's gray tank smells just as bad as her black tank because of her cooking going down the gray...

You have a complete forest in back, Dufus.

That's where I was gonna put you (not Homer) if you were ever invited back...

Vickie...don't feel bad...if I ever show up at her place she'll park me out in the back 40.

It's really not so bad, there's another pond back there!

..
Like either of you would EVER be invited...

You guys just crack me up.

well, I've never been there, but what an awesome idea regardless of where you put the spaces.

Think anyone would love any of the options. In fact, bet you could get some contributions toward costs if you set up a fund for the work and tell us where to send the $$$.

Oh, you're so sweet! But what if I got money from someone I don't like (i.e., Vickie)??? Then I'd feel obligated to let them (her) stay. Nah.
I have an asphalt contractor coming out either late this afternoon or Thursday to look it over and give me an estimate. I'm leaning toward past the outbuildings (more toward the pond) and facing the pond. That would be a nice view. Cross your fingers it's not a fortune!!

I just can't figure out how "big" to make the circle so a longer rig could make the turn(s) without a problem. I emailed my brother, the engineer, but I have not heard back from him yet.
