Re: [A/S] Full Timing Costs
I don't live within the membership system.... I only use it if I'm headed to
a place and there happens to be a Coast to Coast there.... I always check the
book.... if there's one on the way I use it. I stay at two C to C
campgorunds on the way to Florida and back... the savings for those two
places pays for my annual fee.
Due to a bizarre set of circumstances... being a Coast to Coast member saved
my life.
I was in a Coast to Coast park in Rapid City, SD. The *only* park in Rapid
City to get hit by a terrible hail storm on June night in 2000. I had
$16,000 damage to the trailer and Bruiser sustained $4,000.00 damage.
Allstate paid me for Bruiser (who still wears his battle dents proudly) but
Foremost refused to pay for the damages to the trailer unless I got it
repaired.
We went round and round til late March of this year, when they finally said,
"Get it fixed or forget it." So, I made an appointment for a Monday morning
to take it into Walt's RV in Ocala.
On Thursday a tornado went through the farm where I had been staying for the
last two winters.... knocking down 30 huge live oaks... One landed where the
trailer would have been if I hadn't stayed in that Coast to Coast park the
previous summer. The tree would have flattened the trailer with me, the dogs
and the cats inside.
