Still trying to figure out how to get the 160 plus miles to get that motorcoach.  The man didn't put it up for sale - yet, I just happened to give him an offer on another RV he has and he showed me this one instead.  Obviously, I can't drive my vehicle over there and then drive 2 vehicles back.  I'm thinking maybe put an ad in local groups and see if anyone is heading to Fort Worth. Pretty common destination from these parts.  Pay them whatever - well reasonable - to get there and take an Uber from the closest point to the town the motorcoach is in.  It's just south of Fort Worth. 

I want that thing, is all I can say but there is a limited window where I can go get it before it he just says screw it and puts it up for sale on Marketplace.  His sentiment was he would rather deal with one person than have a hundred messages coming in asking about it. I figure I best give him an answer today or I will forfeit the sale and he will just find someone to sell it to.  It's old but it's in great condition.  Some people take care of those things - really all that matters is keeping the roof leak free. If you do that, you might have some issues inside the rv but much of that is repairable. A leak can and will destroy the interior where the water is going into it.  

The lady with the bumper pull over in Louisiana still has that thing for sale.  But after looking at the pics again, I determined it's too much of a project.  There is a leak in the roof and it's been rotting the inside portions where the water from that leak goes for quite a while now.  I really don't want another project, not right now anyway. If I were going to do a project, I would rather do a glamping setup.  It would be a lot of work just building the platform - and money - but after that, the rest would be relatively easy in comparison.  I know where I could set one up and have access to electricity and give the campers access to the shed for a bathroom. 

I keep thinking it's the weekend for some reason, it's only Friday and I have stuff to do today.  I dunno why, but the outside camera on the shed continues to stop recording motion activity.  If a vehicle or person walks by, it should activate the motion sensor and record it.  It stop doing it and I have no clue why.  The inside one works perfectly well.  

Besides not having a swimming pool and no guarantees that having one would draw people in anyway, I have no answers why I am not getting more business beyond the fact that I only have 4 google reviews and I just haven't been on the map long enough.  People tell me frequently the like the park and would come back again - but it doesn't translate into a Google review. Frustrating.  I lowered the monthly price and that is all I know to do at this point.  The nightly price is already low and I'm not going any lower than what it's at now.  There is no point in being in business if there isn't a decent profit to be made after all expenses.  

Whoever it was that called about coming in long term didn't show.  They said "one air conditioner isn't working" for an excuse to get a lower price.  But it's 50 amp service and there are quite a lot of other appliances in those units that gobble up electricity. It's probably why they didn't come. I'm not giving the park away for free.  I only know I need about 3 or 4 more long term to come in and come in very soon.  

There are other parks that are charging less.  I just don't see how they are making any money with unlimited electricity.  It's $375 for everything at one of those parks. My floor is $400. I won't go under that.  My location is closer than every other park in the area to certain things that people want, including a grocery store and the hospital.  And the grocery store is on a major highway, it's quick access to it.  I have all the right things going, or most of them anyway, I'm just not getting the business I need to keep it afloat without going back to work in the trucking industry. 

I swirl this situation around in my head a lot.  I can't live on $2,000 per month income. Which, if the park stayed like it is now with  5 lots open, that is basically the income from it after expenses.  I definitely can on 4 grand a month.  That's net income after everything.  Yes, that's a good chunk of change.  This is why I want that motor coach, I think I can rent that thing out for what I want for it.  At 2 grand and needing nothing more than a new brake caliper on the front right, it's a no brainer to me.  It's affordable housing for someone and it's close to town.  

Well, anyway, that's the musings for this morning.  Kids are on summer break but dad's home so I'm not particularly babysitting today. I'm going to have to go back to work on the inside of the shed. The walls need finished and there is still some insulation to install. Not much insulation, but the walls and drywall are not my forte.  But I want that drywall up and installed instead of sitting there as an eyesore.  

Oh and to add to this situation? There are a couple of units in there that are temporary. And the older couple leaving soon, I"m going to have a half empty (or more) park unless I can get some people in there soon.  

I did learn how to edit my webpage so I don't have to constantly ask the web designer to do it for me - and charge me accordingly. It was actually rather simple once I figured out the proper tabs to click on.  I didn't like some of the wording he had in there and I wanted to update the lot rent rates.  The first think people are looking for is the rates.....
