Cold feet as usual.

Getting ready for a trip to the mid west and as usual have the pre trip jitters. After I get behind the wheel and a mile down the road, if that far I'll be OK I hope. The heat and storms bother me a little, especially the heat in Missouri. Wish I could find a reasonable RV park in St. Louis area. A friend says I can park behind the church he pastors and he will even put in 50 amp. for us. The nearest RV park in Old St. Charles is $1500.00 a month.

  • Don. If you are looking for a reasonable RV park around Saint Louis, MO you might look into RED BARN RENDEZVOUS RV PARK. It is located 23 miles NE of St Louis in Edwardsville, IL 62025. They are advertising $440 per month rate. The information for them: RED BARN RENDEZVOUS RV PARK, 3955 Blackburn Rd. Edwardsville, IL 62025, 618-692-9015. We have stayed there several times and it is just a little off I-55 going towards Chicago. Nice place with nice people, and quite. Good Luck. Gary
  • I'm going from Va to S Tn next week but I'm already excited about Co for Sept, Oct Elk. No jitters here. 1500 wouldn't get me in their door. That's higher than Washington DC area.


    I thought The Golden State was called that because everything died and turned gold color from lack of water.
  • We stayed at the Casino Queen CG and it was nice. Not too many trees though. Security was excellent, with drive thrus about once every hour.

    Like you, pre trip jitters = fear of the unknown..:B...hour later when all dash gauges show good, I'm good...:)....Dennis

    It is probably going to be really quiet at night, and peaceful!

    You can run the generator and the rooftop A/C while driving, and that will keep the RV plenty cool inside!

    Have fun on your trip!

    Thanks Fred, yes, the church is the best bet. We stayed there for two months a couple years ago.

  • I get the opposite. Pre trip excitement but it takes much longer to wear off. I am sure you will find some reasonable priced parks to stay in. Have fun
  • Hang in there brother....and why limit your options to St Charles MO? I assume you are talking about Sundermeier...you picked the most expensive RV park ever. If you are hell bent on there you should call them and let them quote a monthly rate I assume you added the weekly rate (X4) published on their web site.
  • WOW!!!!!! $1500 a month! That's a record!!!!!!!!! Good luck, take it easy and enjoy the ride!
