Hey smart boy! If you have or had employees during the year you are paying into the unemployment fund with fees for having had employees. Of course, you want others to think your property tax assessments and insurance premiums stop and all your utility bills stop instantly when you close down after the season. What kind of mickey mouse business are you running anyway? Also, you likely pay a certified account and/or book keepers etc who keep the IRS away from your door or don't you even pay any taxes? Whoops, forgot about your lawyer/legal guru too. Wow! Sounds about right!
Go ahead and keep trying to tell anyone that you have ZERO fixed business costs while your CG are closed and with no monies coming in. Breathing people know better and they don't even have to be business owners! You are not as smart nor as convincing as you want forum readers to think. I'd avoid any of your CG's for sure! Just smarter than to be fleeced by someone like that with a big I little you mantra who is bent on high profit thinking only as you have stated with your own written words.
All I have to say!
Unfortunately, not worth wasting your time attempting to reason with your opponent, in this case. It's along the same lines as trying to teach a pig to sing. IIRC, he was recently advocating brutal cancellation policies, since otherwise he would be unable to fill his establishment on holiday weekends, this week, a different story, the place is too full to believe.
As you correctly noted, PPA can be a valuable tool for savvy CG owners. It only takes a few minutes of looking at the campground availability details of specific properties, posted at PPA, and a basic grasp of economics, to understand how the system works. There are plenty of desirable CGs that use it as a carefully managed tool to keep the house full, during times when sites would go empty. When you attempt to reason with a "businessman" who argues that empty sites are better than full ones, well............ remember what Forest Gump's mom had to say about intelligence.
