We usually spend a week or two in a campground during the winter to do routine maintenance. This is the first time that we’ve stayed in the Millers Ferry but we liked it so much that I'm sure we’ll be back. It’s a Corp Of Engineer campground which means the sites are half price for anyone with an Access or Senior pass. The sites are large and have water and electric. A dump station is near the campground entrance.
We were in site 61. I never figured out which sites were accessible and which were not but site 61 is very good with hard packed sandy soil and easy access to a picnic table with an extended top and a lower grill. It backs up to a finger of the lake and has thick foliage between it and the next site. Since the campground is nearly empty until early summer, it was very peaceful.

What kind of maintenance do you folks get done during a stop like this? Just curious...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Several coats of wax. The fiberglass really needs it and while we're doing that all of the caulking gets a good examination. Tony climbs on the roof and checks the caulking up there. All of the screens are removed and washed.If they have holes we replace the screens. Sometimes we removed the vent covers and the interior housing and clean all of that really well. Sometimes I sand a few cabinet doors and put another coat of finish on them. Scrub down the walls and touch up or repaint if needed. Empty the cupboards, scrub them, and sort out things that we don't use. Touch up exterior paint. It's really just a super good spring cleaning and keeps us up to date anything that should be fixed.
DeleteNot a whole lot of parks are better than COE parks when it comes to needing electricity. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas...give our best to Tony.
ReplyDeleteWe love COE parks. We had a nice Christmas. Hope yours was good too!
DeleteWhat a nice-looking c/g. Pretty place to get some winter maintenance done. Homes, be they attached to the ground or on wheels, always need maintenance!
