Hot Tub in Your Campsite

My wife just ordered one for me, for my birthday (April 16)! $399 from vm innovations inc. No tax either! Free Shipping!

During the course of this entire topic, I keep remembering from my childhood a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I did a quick Google search and found the image. Does this kind of remind you something?



Not necessarily so ridiculous though. I found this one too:

I say, do it if you want, use some common sense and don't ruin it for others. As for the electric and water use, the park knows what the water and electric bill is and if they need to charge for metered electric and/or water use, that is their decision.

The small, public, county owned, campgrounds I frequent would let you get away with it . They wouldn't care unless everybody at the campground showed up with one.

They might complain about the dead grass but, that is easily solved be setting it where the grass is already dead. These parks are so well used they have a hard time keeping the grass growing near the campers anyway.

At a rate of 11cents kW/hr it'll cost about $4/day or $120/month if the heater ran constant. Your mileage may vary.

If hot tubs cost that much to heat they wouldn't sell any. Our 575 gallon hot tub raised our light bill $8.00 a month and we are in a cold climate.

Well, I did stipulate "if the heater ran constant".
If it cost you $8 a month, and your heater is 1500W, then it only ran for 48hrs for the whole month. (if your electric rate is 11cents per kW/hr)

Most tubs the circulating pump generates some heat through friction which helps maintain the heat level without running the heating unit non stop. I never understood how that works nor was I ever interested enough to study up on it.:B While it would be pretty nice to have on a campsite, I always enjoy ours the most when there is a foot of snow on the ground. BTW, our rate is .08 per KWH.

Its also one of the many reasons, I avoid campgrounds.
