Just hanging around on SKP forum and ran into this. Please comment...

...Having just recieved the 06 PPA RV park listings I have noticed many parks adding various add ons in adition to the 1/2 price. It has become our habit to call ahead to our nightly destination whenever possble to check on length/width of site and clarification of charges to avoid surprises when registering. I have no problem w/ a park owner setting the price for his services, but PPA does advertise itself as 1/2 price of posted rates so we are finding more and more this is not entirely accurate.
This was news to me... maybe posted too soon and should go back to SKPs.

There have always been some parks with addons in the PA directory. I have not noticed a proliferation in that at all. We've been to numerous rv parks that don't take PA but charge full price and also have addons for AC, for 50 amp, or just because you have a second AC on your roof, whether you plan to use it or not.
The operative point here is that for your $40 you have the potential to save far more than that. And we do. And will continue to. In other words, I am not seeing any change from what we've experienced the past several years.
Sue, we had a park in Carlsbad, NM, wanting us to pay a surcharge for 50 amp even though I specified we'll connect to 30. He insisted that since we have 50 amp service in the rig we must connect to 50 amp. I showed him my adapter and he finally relented. I was ready to go elsewhere if that had not changed his mind.
