RV Storage Condos
It seems you've thought of just about everything zoning will allow. Pre and post trip setup (washing, dumping, filling with water, charging batteries).
Yes, I have been working on this concept for over four years.
Will there be a dumpster on site? Vacuums at the wash stations (although this might be a problem due to length of hose required)?
Yes. There will be two dumpsters, on either side of the dump stations.
Vacuums will probably not be installed. Hose length, and most RVers have vacuums in their rigs already.
Only other thing I can think of (at the moment
would be a service bay where the owners could change fluids and lube chassis. Don't know the insurance and zoning implications of this so may not be practical, or may require a fee to use.
I had considered creating a bay with underground access, however, many rvers lack the skills to perform such things. Some do, like myself and it would be a great feature, but I see nothing but problems with such a facility. Oil and hazardous materials disposal, slip and fall, people hogging the bay for days on end when they get in trouble while replacing a part on their RV. More trouble that it would be worth.
WIll there be a bathroom in the clubhouse? Have you considered having a few high capacity commercial washing machines/driers in there (coin operated)?
Yes bathrooms with showers. Washing Machines?
Considered, but probably not. Again, that could become a maintenance issue. I worry about abuse by some, spoiling the amenities for all. I could plumb it and it the community wants it, I could do it.
Will it be wired in such a way that one could add 50 Amps after the unit is built? Or would you have to order it before construction?
Depends on the building location and the location of the meters. I would say yes, but to do it while the property is being built would be almost a no cost/no brainer. After it is built, and if you have to pull wire up to 200', it could get expensive.
Will it be set up so you can add 50 amps when buying a unit from an owner who did not have it installed?
Hard to say. See above.
Will there be 2 electrical services in the 100 foot loog units so that any combination of units made can both have electric?
If I understand your question, yes, the 100' long units will be designed to be 2 50' units. If you have a person with a 100' long unit, they will have two meters for the "duplex" unit. It would make sense since if that person wanted to later sell his unit, he might have better success putting the divider back in and selling to 50'ers rather than one 100'er. Then again, you never really know.
How tall will the entry doors be? Most bigger RVs seem to be over 12 ft, with some at the 'legal' limit of 13' 6" (and possibly some are even taller).
The clear door heights are 14' with interior clear heights of 16'. Tons of room.
Thaks for all of your suggestions.
