With all the new regulations that are thrown at construction, I don't see how RV parks make money, unless they are an older installation grandfathered in.
Take Wi-Fi for instance. The park could be Shangri-La in every way but that, but if people can't view their porn sites in full 5K video from the park's Wi-Fi, the park will get a one star on all reviews. Wi-Fi is extremely expensive to do right, since you have to have so many network appliances, as well as a large backhaul to an ISP, likely fiber. That's $20k/month right there, not to mention the hardware and network administration costs.
A few years ago, if I had a few acres that were a reasonable distance from a main road, I would have considered putting in a Sanistar dump station and water. However, after hearing a complaint from a business owner about someone someone take a chain to the locking foot of the dump station (they are cast aluminum) and tearing it off, coupled with other vandalism of his unmanned site, it gave me pause. He had cameras, but when the police are 30 miles away, there is a lot bad guys can do in that time.
