RV Park

Saturday, 11th June 2005 by Alex

Well, here at Google Sightseeing we’re not entirely sure that we know what an RV actually is… But Keith Harrison reliably informs us that this is an RV park. Makes quite a cool picture though, thanks Keith :-)

    I think the word you’re looking for here is “caravan”. Usage: “Me ma, she’s partial to periwinkle blue” or something like that.. No wait.. umm…

    RV = Recreational Vehicle AKA Motorhome

    RV’s are like modern tour buses. Kitchens, bedrooms, televisions, etc, on wheels.

  4. 4. Robert Craig says:

    Aren’t we talking trailer park here? Those look a little big to be RV’s.

    Hard to tell for sure, but they look like regular house trailers to me, not RV’s. Also, an RV park would be designed so that it’s relatively easy to move the vehicles in and out, and that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

    By the way, the location in question is just south of the Canadian border.
    Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth shows the very busy Peace Arch border crossing not far away.

    Definately an RV park. It is designed so that you can get to any of those pods on the roads aroudn them. Also, if you switch to map view there are no labeled streets through there, so i doubt it is a trailer park.

    Cool picture but looks like a stupid RV park design to me :D.

    It’s certainly not an “RV” park, not sure why they call it that themselves! All it is is a damn trailer park.

    Check the listings…these are no Winnebago’s

    > Television reception is available through satellite dish or local television channels of 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12. *The Park office monitors CB channel 12.*

    Breaker breaker channel one-niner, all them hay shakers must be walkin’ the dawg!

    Youre right Jeff. You found a reliable source :D.

    Scan south a little way. THAT is an RV park. Note the angled entry for each site so you can back in. You can the the awnings and slide outs on some of the rigs.
