    I created a formula to calculate the maximum rate for one night and before I send it to DC for legislation,
    I like to share it with you all …

    The formula:
    PpN = BR + E + W + S + PT + RS + L + P + HT + Wi + DR - DtHI – DtTH

    PpN = Price per night
    BR = Basic Rate = $ 40
    E = Electricity = $ 4
    W = Water = $ 4
    S = Sewer = $ 4
    PT = Pull Through = $ 1
    RS = Restrooms/Showers = $ 1
    L = Laundry = $ 2
    P = Pool = $ 2
    HT = Hot Tub = $ 3
    Wi = Wi-Fi = $ 2
    DR = Dog Run = $ 1
    DtHI = Distance to Highway/Interstate
    (for every foot closer than 3000 ft, a penalty of $0.01)
    DtTH = Distance to audible Train Horn
    (for every foot closer than 3000 ft, a penalty of $0.02)


    Examples:
    All the amenities, no disturbing noise:
    PpN = 40 + 4+ 4+ 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = $ 64

    Full Hookup, Pull Through, Restrooms/Showers, Wi-Fi
    PpN = 40 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = $ 56

    Electricity, Water, Restroom/Showers, Wi-Fi, Interstate at 1000 ft
    PpN = 40 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 – 20 = $ 31

    Full Hookup, Restroom/Showers, Pool, Train Horn at 2000 ft
    PpN = 40 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 – 20 = $ 35

    Furthermore, if the Price-per-Night drops below the Basic Rate, the RV park is NOT entitled to carry the word ‘Resort’ in its name.

    Any thoughts?

    its a fun tool to play with, and i might actually print it out, and see how different parks fair. here are some things you might be missing:

    - Proximity to popular attraction (within 10 miles): +40
    - You have wifi at +$2.00, but there are different qualities of wifi: free good quality wifi, free slow wifi, paid ok wifi, wifi only available at clubhouse.
    -Extra activities not listed (mini golf, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, playground, fishing, etc. $1 each)
