RV Village - Assignments

[CyVeteran]

I would think the novice drivers will want to get there early to avoid the peanut gallery.

I will be there to back in RV's for the price of one beer.

After how many beers does this not become a good investment for your customers?

I doubt people have that much trouble backing in. You have the cement pad and grass on both sides.

Why would people show up early now when they have a reserved spot?

More tailgating is always the answer. Especially when you don't have to take PTO and can "work" remotely

And a camera.

The neighbors awning will be the killer, also how much have they been watering the new sod? You might sink if you leave the pad.

I will help anyone that needs it. I can’t wAit to get this party started!

If your neighbor's awning comes into play you have no business driving the RV to say nothing of backing it. The pads are 14' apart.

4" of rain this last weekend. Assume awesome ruts for the people that can't back equipment to save their life.

Update for some folks in case it's helpful:

I for the life of me couldn't understand why they assigned the grass spots the way they did (backwards in my opinion) and had been trying to get a response from the Cyclone Club since yesterday on the design/thought process on that front and just got off the phone with the guy there that handles parking. I was told they flipped this around/have/are swapping the painted arrows around (wasn't the case as of yeseterday morning when I was there). They aren't going to dictate how you use your spot and whether you back in/pull in/pull through, etc., but at least now if you back in as is more or less the general designed intent so that your electrical cords are at the back near the electrical box, your assigned grass pad will be on your vehicle passenger side so all your doors, awnings, etc will open up to your pad instead of that being backwards or you having to pull in and block your vehicle in on the middle of the pad.

This is awesome news. Thanks for pushing the issue with the Cyclone Club. Ever since @Cycsk posted the pictures showing the arrows I've been wondering how this was going to work.

Now, for the backing in....I'm hoping I get all my wheels on the pad, let alone my slideouts....haha

FYI there is a brand new Kwik Star on Dayton and S. 16th. It has its own sort of driveway/frontage road and likely much easier access for large vehicles than most other gas stations in the area.

I saw this. Planned to stop there and fill the fuel tank for the genny on the 5er just in
Case the village power isn’t up and running

FYI - Road construction at S. 16th and Duff. Probably not an issue for those coming to town early but will be a PIA for Saturday traffic.

I may want to grab a cooler of beer and an canopy to go down there watch to watch all the festivities unfold. Make sure you bring your insurance cards with! With novice drivers, I would expect delays getting into the lots.

I know some folks who are bringing campchairs and a cooler to watch the festivities.

Here are some shots from tonight. Seems a little odd to have your electric box in your neighbor’s grass. This is the pad for 226. It’s electric is on one side and grass is on the other side (with 224’s electric). Both of these pics are of the same 226 pad.

Good point. I drive past it like every other day but with all the roads torn up you kind of just forget about it. Bloomington, 13th and 16th and all have major projects right now.

The last photo is not badly framed. I wanted to show that they put oil on the entry gravel to keep the dust down.

RV electrical is almost always on the driver side so that makes sense. Hilarious they painted the arrows wrong the 1st time.

So happy they finally got this right.

What am I going to do with all that electrical cord I have. LOL
