We actually don't allow tenting, too much hassle keeping everything alive in the sites, plus they are generally the loudest guests (tents don't insulate sound well and tenters are the last to go into their accommodations since they don't have televisions, sofas, recliners etc.). As for the rigs that use more electricity etc. than others, say big class A, versus a truck camper, what we spend on electricity for the big rig is offset in labor and bathroom expenses on the little ones. Drives me nuts when I see parks trying to charge an extra couple of bucks for 50 amp electrical or putting coin operated controls on the showers. That's stepping over dollar bills to corral a couple of pennies.

Had an interesting discussion with a CG owner once over this one. We have a shower. We have a toilet onboard we use both. We don't use CG bathrooms & showers.
Tenters don't have toilets or showers. They NEED CG facilities. Facilities that the owner must pay somebody to clean. How come tenters get a cheaper rate? The only thing the self contained RVer uses more of is electricity.

Don't invest a lot in wifi. Most folks have their own hotspots.

...Snipped... Too many so called lawyers running around with a knowledge of ADA, and a tape and a level, who go weaseling around checking things. Then they have a list of disabled people to use in the lawsuit they file against the business, contractor, code official, municipality etc, and its off to the bank. Usually ends up as a nice cushy settlement that is kept as quiet as possible and amounts to legalized extortion. More of that happens than most people realize. I've sat in the dispositions. ...Snipped...

Trees are OK if they are not over the motorhome. Ideally, when the sun is setting, it would be nice for the trees to be on the west side of the park.
I hate it when 'stuff' falls on the slides. We don't have slide toppers and I have to be aware of what falls on the coach. 99% of the time, we are OK. I have been under trees dropping acorns and small sticks; I have to get the ladder out to clean the top of the slides. It doesn't take long but I sure wouldn't want to do it in the rain (lucky, haven't had to yet).
So, I like a 'tree free' site.
