They need to know what a lawn mower is, a weedeater is, paint (covered table areas), as well as air or fans in the bathrooms (you sweat trying to get dressed after a shower). Also need to put new pictures of the spots to rent. Mine showed nice shade trees on picture, Only to get there and they have been cut down so no shade at all.

Squatters next to me lost their spot for the night…and in my spot the next day they moved their tent behind us and items in between the 2 site and moved their 8 dogs allowing them to get up under my travel trailer. Had to go to the front gate and complain cause they also hooked up to my electrical. 2 sherif officer came out and made them move… found out later they were homeless and didn’t have their spot scheduled correctly.
