    Thanks for watching! One thing we would like to point out about Sunshine Key RV Resort, is that if you have a Thousand Trails membership and buy the yearly "Trails Collection" (Encore) add-on for $299 yearly dues, you can stay at Sunshine Key for only $20 per night for up to 14 days straight! That's $280 for 14 nights, compared to $1,548 at their regular rate for a standard site! This is current as of Jan 2020.

      @LivinRVision  3 роки тому

      We have the Trails Collection (Encore) and called 60-days out from when we wanted to stay there in Dec. 2019 and got it. Could have been the time of year since they get REALLY busy January until April we were told.

    Enjoy your program my wife worked on the corona task force in the area and could not go out of state so we purchased a truck and a camper started camping throughout the state. So now we have starter on UA-cam and etc….. thank you you encouraged us.

    I'm really digging that you include footage of your rig on your adventures. Seems some are veering away from that and focusing on just the side trips in their pull along. I wanna see rigs and the workings/looks of them as well ... as someone that is interested in this lifestyle. We are total noobs and don't really have a clue as to where to start even looking! *sigh* But we DO want to get out and travel the sights and find the best economical means of doing so as I have recently been given not much time of this earth and want to make the most of it. Thanks for all your content and your quirky personalities! You guys are one of my favs! ♥

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  3 роки тому

      Glad you are enjoying the videos. We are SO very sorry to hear this. We are all only promised today and we should make the best of it. Find the most economical and less worrisome way and head out. You have to decided if something more roomy is more important or if something smaller and easier to get around in from place to place is more important. The latter will most likely be the most economical also. Hope we see you out there soon! 🧡😊🤓

The hubs and I have rented a storage unit and starting to move some things in. Will put our house on the market in two more months and hit the road full time in our RV by summer!

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому +1

      We found the PERFECT spot for you literally a 4 min drive (2.1 miles) from Sunshine Key RV resort! It’s the Bahia Honda State Park and the rates were VERY reasonable! Last we looked it was $43 a night for a motorhome site, so you may want to check on tent site prices and get it reserved. It’s a beautiful State Park! Here’s their phone number. (305) 872-3210 Please let us know what you find out! 🧡😊🤓

      Thank you very much! It is during peak season. We arrived before Christmas and left just after Christmas. We were there for two weeks. When we got there it was not near as full as when we left, as it was jam-packed then. You need to make your reservations as far in advance as you possibly can.

      @LivinRVision  5 років тому

      Hi Don! Keep in mind, it’s only costly if you do not have the Trails Collection add-on through Thousand Trails which gives you the rate of $20 a night instead of $110 per night. 😊🤓

  • @daleschiller6038

    Nice weather for sure, but way too crowded. How do you get some quiet/prvate time.

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому

      I guess that depends on the person, if you like a secluded area or being around others and making new friends and talking to old friends. It may look crowded, but it was not noisy at all when you are at your campsite. All the “action” and noise was typically up at the pool/activity center area. To each their own I guess, but it was quite a relaxing place to stay. We really enjoyed it. Remember, we are not paid or in anyway affiliated with these resorts that we do reviews on. Thanks for sharing your feedback, we truly value everyones feedback. 🧡😊🤓

    Are there other TT parks in the Keys besides this one? I haven’t yet started my RV life but when I do, TT could be an option. Thanks

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  4 роки тому +1

      There are two, Sunshine Key and Fiesta Key. They are both part of the “Trails Collection” Encore package add-on when you get the Thousand Trails membership. Since these are in the Keys, they are $20 a night for up to 14 days then you have to be out for 7 days before going back. The normal rates for these are over $100 a night without the “Trails Collection” add-on for the Encore resorts. In our opinion, TT is a must if you want to save a lot of money in camping fees.

    What are the rates? In season/ off season?

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Rick. We do not work directly for Encore and they do not list their rates unless you go to Thousand Trails (RVonTheGo.com) and input specific dates, then it will give the rates ONLY for your dates. It won’t give their list of rates.
      However, I was able to get ahold of Sunshine Key directly by calling them and she emailed me their rate sheet for 2020/2021 which is very lengthy. I know we said this in the video, but we stayed under our Trails Collection and only paid $20 per night. Reading their rate sheet for years 2020/2021it looks like the “STANDARD” site rates are as follows...
      DAILY
      * $129/$151 Dec-March.
      * $97/$119 Apr-May
      * $129/$151 June-Sept
      WEEKLY
      $774 - Dec-Mar
      $582 - Apr-May
      $774 - July-Sep
      MONTHLY
      $1,534 Oct 2020
      $1,888 Nov 2020
      $2,714 December 2020
      $3,303 January - March 2021
      $1,888 April - May 2021
      $2,125 June 2021
      $2,714 July 2021
      $2,125 August 2021
      $1,534 September 2021
      ALL THE ABOVE RATES GO UP IF YOU CHOOSE A “Premium” OR “Elite” SITE.
      Their phone number is:
      2020/2021 Winter Seasonal Rates
      3 month = $7,863
      4 Month = $9,288
      5 Month = $10,195
      6 Month = $10,596
      2020 Summer Seasonal Rates
      Three months = $4,563
      Four months = $5,900
      Yearly = $13,440

    We don't have a TT membership but have been considering it. We just watched this video and so I pretended to try to make a reservation. Are the Elite sites for members? If so there were none available at the beginning of October or November. So would that mean if we wanted to stay there (on those dates for example) we would have to pay the regular rate? If that's correct that's kind of a downer thinking that a member has to pay regular rates. Thanks guys - your videos are really fun to watch.

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  4 роки тому

      Not sure about the Elite sites. The site we stayed at was perfectly fine as the entire resort has been remodeled since the hurricane went through. We believe that most Encore (Trails Collection) parks have limited number of sites available for Encore members and then they allow nonmembers in to pay full price. As an Encore member we’ve learned to call for reservations at the earliest we are allowed, which is 60- days out, to try and get in places. It’s hard sometimes during peak times of year. We were there in December and the week of Christmas it started to fill up. We were told they stay full from that time through March.

    Me and the wife really enjoy watching your trips especially the Thousand Trail reviews, so keep them coming. We just bought the annual pass and the trails collection in November and have only been able to use it twice, but so far we are liking it. But I have a question: I know that the Florida TT parks get really crowed in the winter months, did you guys have any issues trying to reserve a spot in this park? Were you able to get to stay for 14 days? Is there any tricks/tips you can pass on that might help a newbie trying to make reservations?

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому +1

      Thank you very much!! 😊🤓 YES, we have been here since mid November and we have had no problems. BUT, that is because we made our reservations in advance. Some TT memberships allows you to make your reservations 120 days in advance and some are shorter. Ours is 120 days and the trick is to make them right away the very soonest that you are allowed to make them. That is the trick to getting a spot at TT in Florida. Also, some TT memberships only allow 14 days at a time and some are 21 days. We have had no problem getting 21 days on every reservation so far here in Florida. We have a TT Orlando Review coming out soon, so be on the lookout. 😊🤓

    How much $$$ regularly?

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому

      Hi John, around $110 per night during peak season. Luckily we have the membership to get it for $20 per night, we could not afford to stay very long at their normal rates. Makes it nice so that you DON’T have to be rich to stay in the Keys. Bahia Honda State Park is also affordable at around $43 per night but not near as nice.

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому +1

      Hi Mike, it only costs $20 per night (even during peak season) if you have the Trails Collection through Thousand Trails which gives you access to Encore Resorts for free or the max of $20 a night at some of the higher priced resorts. This is a $299 YEARLY add-on fee but WELL worth it as you can see. But if a person does not have this add-on, yes you would be right, at well over $100 a night during peak season. 👍🏻😊🤓

    I checked for a long term rate (6 months) and was told about $1500/month. Before the hurricane I stayed for a month for $900. Now that price is roughly $2000.

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  5 років тому

      Ouch! That’s steep. I wouldn’t pay that. The daily rate has been around $110 for quite a while. That’s if you don’t have the Trails Collection add-on through Thousand Trails. $20 a night with Trails Collection but you can’t stay a month at that rate, only 14 days. Thanks for sharing this! 😊🤓

      Thanks for listing the rates I don't understand why these videos never do that , should be mandatory LOL...
      Come to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas the oceans not quite as blue it's only an hour's drive you can pick fresh citrus out of your front yard( much better flavor than Florida's) and it's only going to run you about $160 a month LOL I can live with that.

    The place is beutyful after the remodeling but the price for people not from thousand Trais is totally ridiculous....$ 2.000 dlrs. monthly plus electric.....RV people is not rich people.

      Agree, it is a little pricey without a membership. That’s why we like to try and stay at Thousand Trails and the Encore resorts as much as possible to keep costs down. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching! 😁🤓
