Forced out of your reservation

Here is a interesting video from a Youtuber I'm sure many of us have followed before. I know I was getting angrier as the video went on. I have to give him credit for handling it better than I would have.

That's what I'm saying. If time is money, quit wasting mine. I'm fine with their income, it's the content that is nonsense.

I do not understand his reaction. Maybe something is missing. If someone treated us that way, I would be getting in touch with the owner or manager. If the owner/manager could not satisfy us, I would be posting the name of the CG and maybe contacting the state AG. Slighting one person, who has a reservation, in favor of another person, whether in a group or not, is wrong. We all know that. It might even be illegal in some states. Once you make a deal with someone, you keep it. There obligatory laws about this. On top of that, you do not treat people this way.

Do you think unglued will change anything , most likely just the opposite.

The sad part is that these so called YouTubers are making money off of their babbling. Very few have content worth watching.

This thread has zero informative info compared to most RV blogs.
I've watched several of this guys videos and yeah he's sometimes pushing a product but whats wrong with that. I see that on TV every night or on the internet everyday.
I give most bloggers kudos. I can blab with the best but put a camera in my face and I'm tongue tied.

Millions will disagree with you. And the same can be said about many books that are on the market.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Sad part? you kidding right? It is an honest way to make a living. If I had the charisma, the chutzpah,the talent the gift for gab,I would most definitely consider you tubing as a career.
Why on earth do you object to someone not collecting welfare,food stamps, and Medicaid.
Seeing as this guy gets enough views for you tube to monetize his channel, I am guessing your statement is of not much import.

I watched it. I'm having trouble believing him. Seemed more self-promotion than anything else.

Sounds a bit fishy to me. Like the rv park got his freinds in there. I would definitely hold them accountable for what they did. Especially if i had taken off work on vacation, and now had it cancled for really no good reason. I can see if somthing happened, fire, tree fell, flood, but so someone else that wasnt booked allrady can go and camp, no way. I would be blasting that park everywhere I went. My time is as valuable as everyone elses. I think the park owner created the problem. Not anyones fault your large group can't get a site on short notice, plan ahead.

This seems to be the new thing. I've seen a lot of it this year. Many of our stops had that option as an upcharge to our reservation!
