Hello, only been TT camping for 3yr. so I'm thinking of a golf cart.Anyone, please, pro's and con's of owning, operating, maintaining, transporting........What type do you prefer electric gas?Any advice as to buying a used one, what to look for and a fair price to pay for one?How many volt's or what size gas motor?Thank's

We frequent a campground that is literally overrun with golf carts. At times they are a nuisance. People drive their golf carts to the bathroom across from their sites. My friend has one and drives the golf cart to my site 100 feet away.Walk or ride a bike it's cheaper and better for your health.

You might want to check out the cost of replacement batteries. My sister's bunch living at LakeWood - Myrtle beach owned one for a long time and it was a big expense every year it seems... Just like us with the RV batteries you have to replace them all at the same time... They finally went to renting one from the local provider near Lake Wood and saved a bunch of monies.Just my thoughtsRoy Ken

Some parks only allow electric though I think gas would be better as you wouldn't need to worry about a dead battery.

Gas or electric have there issues. A battery pack for a 36v cart will run you $600+ and will last you 5yrs IF you take care of them. Neighbors cart is a gas, and his clutch was bad, $500 later he's crusin again. Point being, either one can get costly. I have a electric EZGO and like the quietness over a gas cart. Some cart batteries may have a date stamp on one of the posts. the last # will be the date the batteries were made. Go to buggiesgonewild.com lots of reading on both types of carts.

IF not buy a used one a decent one from a dealer is 2k if you look around you can probably find one cheaper private as long a they didn't go nuts customizing it. We bought ours cause Disney is $500 a week for a cart.
