Number Of Hours?
I understand that there are lots of variables involved, but do you have a “cap” on the amount of hours you will donate to receive a FHU site at no charge? We have had positions with as much as 40 ...

Like many have said before it really depends on the location and what is expected.
If it is 24-hours/week of cleaning, mowing, and maintained the park in order to have a free place to park...it better be a nice CG with amenities that are worth my time.
Additionally, I would want to know when I am needed. If for instance it was 3x days @ 4-hours per day and then had the rest of the week off (for a couple - 24 hours) then maybe -- if the park offered enough amenities and was in the right location.
I would not volunteer our time in a location that wouldn't provide enough time to enjoy the area. I have seen many a position advertised for 30-40+ hours a week for a CG that charges $500-600/month and then have a strict schedule that equates to WORKING.
When I retire it is to enjoy the fruits of my labor, not to labor for someone else.
Exactly. Working a full work week JUST for the site equates to working a full work week in the regular world to lie in a trailer and pay the electric and water bill and nothing else. No money for food or clothing or any thing else. That equates to considerably less than minimum wage.
I absolutely understand about the location but if you are WORKING 40hours per week then there is precious little time left to enjoy the location.
I have seen places advertising 40 hours per week cutting trails and cleaning and other hard physical labor in exchange for JUST the FHU camp site. So my question is... Is that REALLY fair trade for labor... hard labor?
