Do you use TV hookups at the parks you stay at?

I am in the process of building a small RV park, and would like to know the general feeling towards Cable TV hookups. Is this something that you require?

I hear most campers now have built in TV options, whether it is cable or antenna. This is just a small park with 10 spots, so its not like an RV resort or anything. I am just trying to poll the average RVer decide if it is worth the time an expense to add that amenity. I probably won't add it if most people couldn't care less if it is there or not.

This forum seems like it would be a great place to get such info!

    Is your park a destination or pass through? If one night stop we use park cable instead of setting up satellite. If destination spot, I set up satellite.

    IF the place has cable and it is NOT too high priced then we will use it.....just because we rarely have any cable

    High priced...>$2 extra


    Otherwise it is crankup the Winegard antenna OR host up the mast array antenna if reception s iffy

    If we are only staying a day or two and there is good OTA reception we will typically just use that. If no good OTA then we would use park cable if available. If staying longer we typically set up our Dish satellite.

    If over the air TV is good via my antenna, not a deal breaker if you don't have cable. GOOD WiFi is far more important.
