This morning has an irate guest complaining the breaker in his site kept tripping all night long. Went to investigate, they have a 40 foot pusher and were in a 50 amp site. Trouble was they had adapted down their 50 amp plug to a 30 amp plug and then adapted that plug down to a standard 20 and it was the 20 amp breaker in the pedestal that was tripping. Tried to explain to them that having a 50 amp rig would probably draw way too much power for a single 20 amp circuit and they should remove the adapters and just plug into the 50 amp receptacle. They promptly berated me and told they had traveled across the country and never, ever had a problem, so it has to be the park's electrical system.
I can now add this to the wifi system that doesn't work and it is the park's fault because the guest has the wifi turned off on their computer. The park's cable system doesn't work and the fact that the guest didn't have a cable connected to their television was immaterial. It's the park's fault the guests didn't know the roads in Montana are mountainous. It's the park's fault the local propane company isn't open on Sunday. The park should be telling all the guests that there isn't a Walmart nearby and the local grocery store sells milk for a dime more than it costs in their supermarket.
I'd have little whine with my cheese, but the local liquor store doesn't carry the boutique label my sophisticated palate demands and that's probably the park's fault as well.
A little far fetched I would say! :R
Perhaps you are in the wrong business?
What in this post is far fetched? The fact is every one of those complaints and situations is 100% true (well, except for the local liquor store doesn't carry my brand of wine, that is false, because every self respecting liquor store carries MD20/20).
Why would I be in the wrong business? I happen to like what I do. Feel I do it well and go out of my way to try and make everyone's stay as good as possible. But I do take it personal when someone basically tells me there is a problem with the parks even when there is undeniable proof that is not the case.
Some people's life mission seems to be to make others as miserable as they are. Unfortunately, the RV park business gets their share of them, and unlike a restaurant or a retail store, they don't just come in, spread their ill-will and leave. They stay for days darkening the moods of everyone around them. If not enjoying having those types of guests make me unfit to own and operate RV parks, then you are right, I am in the wrong business. But if that was really the case, there wouldn't be any RV parks, because there would be no one to run them, because NOBODY enjoys those type of customers.
