This just gave me an idea....Valet parking at the campsite..Just call the front office and they will bring your Car/Truck to you. Washed, Waxed and fueled....For a small fee of course. ;D
Oh you laugh now ...But they laughed when campsites started the "Class A's only" rules
When I was working in Los Angeles, the park I stayed in operated in a similar fashion. No valet washing/waxing (water shortage in LA, you know) but the owner's philosophy was he was going to treat his guests as if they were staying at a full service hotel, not a RV park. The office manager doubled as a concierge, booking tickets to shows and other attractions, arranging for rental cars, directing people to local services, etc.
The park was laid out during WWII as housing for the local airfield, so the roads were tight. There was a fairly wide road going down the middle of the park and narrower roads (with parked cars) at right angles off both sides, about 5 sites deep.
He had a forklift with 5th wheel and bumper hitch attachments on the fork. New arrivals would unhitch up front when they checked in and the owner would use the forklift to deliver the trailer to the space with a couple of employees acting as spotters.
If you had a motorhome, you'd back it in with the owner standing next to the driver's window, telling you exactly how to turn the wheel, etc. No muss, no fuss.
Once you were in the space the spotters would make sure the RV was level and hook up the utilities for you. Many of the guests were foreign visitors who were first time RV renters, so this was very useful for them.
The park was Balboa RV Park in the San Fernando Valley. Today it's called
Hollywood RV Park. You can experience all of this for only $65 a night next time you're visiting Los Angeles.
