Seasonal site questions
We have been using our 2009 Flagstaff 34’ TT on the road since we bought it new. Now we are going to try something different by placing it on a seasonal site in Delaware for the 2014 season. Not ever ...

Cement cinder blocks can/do unexpectedly crumble. And, it all comes crashing down.
For our seasonal site, I simply lay 2x10s down (to be pushed into soft ground), add flat patio stones on this wood, then buy/install Steel axle stands. For short ground distance, I use 6-ton stands. For high ground distance, I would use 12-ton axle stands. I install 4 axle stands down each frame rail. Axle stands stop majority of front to back and side to side movements. And using 4 connect points down each frame rail, it stops up/down movements as well. And since patio stones are on wood, the wood is pushed into the soft ground. For picture, surf: - click here -
For our seasonal site, slide goes out in the spring and stays out all summer. Only comes back in for winter storage months. For our slide, I installed a moveable hard-cover over it. And best of all, this hard over is slopped (not flat). No more pooling water. re: - click here -
From spring to fall (summer camping months), we leave our RV's fridge on. And, enjoy our seasonal site deck as well. re: - click here -
And, we only turn RV's LP (gas) ON when needed. re: For cooking inside or for RV's Heater. Majority of time, we cook on our BBQ (located on our deck) and eat outside. Thus, keeping grease smells and dirty dishes outside. Outside is for living. Inside RV is used for sleeping and/or temp escape on rainy days.
This works for us...
