Hi Kesha, it really depends on what type of RV park it is. There are basically 3 types, overnights (catering to RV's traveling along interstates), destination (resort style parks that people vacation at) or long term. So for each type your customer base is quite different and with it your operations/management is different. Overnights are very very transient and come with unique challenges, think about these like a Motel 6, people arriving at all hours, tired, just need a place to crash as they make their way to their final destination. Destination parks are typically in a desirable location where people want to visit and vacation. Typically these will have some amenities like a pool, lake or are near a national park, etc and will attract people for longer stays 3-7 days. Customer experience and hospitality are key to effective management of destination parks. Destination parks are the most intensive from a management perspective. Long term parks are more like mobile home parks, but the home is much more mobile. Long term parks are usually less management intensive. What everyone else said above is accurate and all types of RV parks are more management intensive than a MH park, but to a varying degree depending on the type. Hope this helps.
