This is the same RV park we stayed at on our trip north. The front desk clerk offered us another site and Ruthi convinced her that we liked #17 (the one we had maneuvered into before). Ruthi was driving and attempted to get us into #17 again but the tree on the left seemed to have moved a little bit more towards the site gravel pad. So, we got as close as we could without hitting it and realized Ruthi would need to back up and go around for another try. This is not unusual for us or other RVers.
We have often made a number of shots at a particular space before we could safely position the RV. We have watched others have similar challenges. If you think about it – we have a 24 foot truck and a 34 foot trailer. With the 4-5 foot overhang, this makes the entire length about 54 feet. It’s not our old Subaru Legacies (maybe 8 feet at most) anymore. Short of a career in the hauling business, driving semis for years and years, it is usually a challenge to get into some of the smaller, tighter spaces in the older parks.
Ruthi backed up and was positioned to “go around the block” so to speak and try again when Boots suggested she try going down another row and cut through a sight that would provide a straight shot into #17. It look like a better approach and she tried it. Success!!! We plugged in the electric and got inside to the A/C!
