Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Request specific site numbers when available. "We reserved one of the larger sites, which was big enough for our 39 5th wheel, but we had to disconnect as our F450 was in the road," notes a Lazydays RV Resort visitor.
Utility placement considerations: Hookup locations vary between parks, sometimes requiring extra equipment. "Water and electric were located in the middle of the pad. The sewer was at the end of the pad, and we needed right at 20 feet of hose," explains an RVer at Lazydays.
Water pressure management: Come prepared with pressure regulators. "Water pressure was above 60 psi, so we needed a reducer," advises a camper about their stay at Lazydays RV Resort.
