Park Models

are designed to be used as second home and not for continuous year round living.  Our 'Condition of Use Permit' with the Township of Florence only allows for the maximum of 10 months of continuous use per year as we are a recreational facility not a trailer/mobile home park

Rates and costs are adjusted yearly by the Government posted inflation rate

bullet

Our Season's rate covers from April 15th to October 15th

bullet

Winter recreational use is only $300 as there is no guarantee of services

bullet

Living in your unit after the season in $300 per month

bullet

Electric will be billed 4 times a year

bullet

Natural gas is billed by supplier

bullet

Water is free at this time but may be metered in the future (to prevent this, stop water waste by fixing dripping taps, toilets etc, and don't leave taps running in cold weather.  Water landscaping wisely)

Guidelines for winter use

bullet

We have done our best to provide year round facilities but the use of your Park Model over the winter does require you to take extra precautions and be more astute of what can happen.  They aren't like your home and need you to do your part to make it through the winter

bullet

We have contracted snow plowing (not driveways) but this still doesn't guarantee access during severe weather as it may only get done once daily (if you have to get out then we suggest you stay at home when storms are predicted)

bullet

Most units have a ventless heater installed which is designed for use in the event of power failure and should be used with caution as it can deplete the oxygen in the unit.  It is recommended that you open a window slightly

bullet

Your unit has been fitted with heat tape and is plugged into a thermo cube that switches on at 34* and off at 45*.  These may fail so should be checked yearly

bullet

Your water crock (where the water comes out of the ground) isn't heated and may need to be in extreme cold (this could be done with a light bulb).  They should be kept airtight at all times. 

bullet

Air flow under the unit should be minimized to help prevent freezing but is recommended at other times to prevent mold and dampness

bullet

Most of the units have pex plumbing (except Forest River brand) which is designed to take freezing but we do recommend leaving cupboard doors open where the plumbing is run so you aren't inconvenienced by it freezing

bullet

P traps also can freeze and may crack in extreme cold, they aren't heat taped

bullet

All effort should be made to prevent water loss as a result of freezing (negligence could result in you being bill for any water loss)

bullet

Generally it is fine to leave your heat down at 50* but we recommend turning it up in colder weather

bullet

All garden hoses should be removed to prevent your frost free spigot from freezing, they need to drain

bullet

Everything should be put away by the end of November including emptying your  wood rack

bullet

Speed limit is 15 mph (be careful of animals)

bullet

You must make your own arrangements to let any visitors in and out (a code can be obtained in some cases)

bullet

Parking is limited to graveled areas only, keep off the grass at all times and don't block the roads

bullet

This is our time for getting things done and therefore there may be times when you will be inconvenienced by work we do to ensure it doesn't happen during the season

 

General Info

bullet

During the season our regular rules apply

bullet

Sheds must be 8'x10' vinyl sided and shingled roof using building paper under both, no doors to the grass areas, and may not be used for washing machines

bullet

Gravel areas to the off side of units are designed for parking only

bullet

Landscaping should be done only in such fashion as to not inhibit clean up and site maintenance

bullet

Gardens must be maintained at all times

bullet

No tarps even over the winter

bullet

No parking of golf carts on grassed areas

bullet

A regular inspection of your ducting underbelly and pipe wrap should be made as varmints may eat through it
