In this edition we will be reviewing Jetstream RV Resort at NASA located in Webster, Texas.

Plus they are a healthy aspect of a long term investment strategy.

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com10 Comments

In the last few years camping and RVing has surged in popularity as people have grown tired of being trapped in their homes during the great lockdown of the Covid era. RV sales have hit record numbers and some manufacturers are reporting backlogs of over a year for people waiting for their new RV to be built. This is all great news for the industry and particularly for campground owners as there is no shortage of customers waiting to fill open spaces. However, this surge in customers and first time RV owners has given rise to a new phenomenon and one that is not good, the entitled camper.
