1.
What do I do first? First you choose your campground
or the vacation site. Then call Coast Vacation Trailers
make your reservation and choose your trailer from
the available models. |
|
| |
2.
What are the Trailers Parking Times? All Coast
Vacation Trailers are
parked between 9:00am and 4:30pm daily. Checkout time
is usually 12:00pm daily. You will
be assigned a parking and check out time when you make
your reservation. These times are strictly enforced
(see late checkout fees), but if you have a special
need, it will be honored by availability. |
|
| |
| 3. Are the trailers
parked in a Coast Vacation Trailers campground? NO
. . . Coast Vacation Trailers does’t
own any campgrounds. We park our trailers in the campground
or site of your choice, within our service area. Each
campground has its own rules and regulations and you
are required to follow those rules just like any other
camper. Specifically, check in and check out times,
reservations and campsite costs. |
|
| |
4. How big of a truck do I need
to pull one of your trailers? That’s
the great part! You don't need a truck to pull
one of our trailers. Coast Vacation Trailers delivers
the trailer to the site of your choice!
We even level the trailer; show you how all the appliances
work and then pickup the trailer after you have enjoyed
your camping adventure. |
|
|
| |
| 5. Can CVT pre-park
the trailer in my campsite? YES
. . . We can pre-park in any private campground.
Make a reservation with them and let us know the site
they have assigned you when you call us to reserve your
trailer. We'll try to set up ahead of your arrival. |
|
| |
| 6. How do I reserve at the campsite? To
make reservations at privately owned campgrounds, call
the campground directly, or go through a reservation
service. |
|
| |
| 7. Can we have you move the trailer
to another site or campground during our stay? Generally,
the first site you pick is the site you’re in for
the duration of your stay. If you must move, call us
as early in the day as possible. If there is enough time
in the schedule, we will let you know when to expect
us and how much the charge will be. If we’re already
in your area the cost will be less than if we make a
special trip out. You can estimate the cost based on
the delivery fee built into your reservation cost. |
|
| |
| 8. Can we move the trailer ourselves
within the park? Please… NO Our
insurance doesn't cover anyone other than our drivers
moving our trailers. In fact, if you move the trailer
you forfeit your $200 damage deposit. |
|
| |
| 9. Can we rent one of your trailers
and take it wherever we want? No.
Our business is based upon the premise You
rent It! . . . We park it! |
|
| |
| 10. Can we rent for a few months
to live in? The cost would
be prohibitive. We charge by the night. |
|
| |
| 11. Can our friends call you with
the site number? Sure. In
a big group, one person to direct traffic and pay for
the sites is all we need to get the entire group set
up. |
|
| |
| 12. What if we are not arriving
until midnight? If you plan
on a late arrival, you must have a campsite reservation
ahead of time. You can only make a reservation in a private
campground. All other campgrounds work on a first-come-first-served
basis. When you make your site reservation, they will
assign you a site number----which you will give to us
when you make your trailer reservation. We will park
your trailer in that site ahead of your arrival, leaving
it open with the keys in it. |
|
| |
| 13. Can we put a tent next to the
trailer? Pick
out a site that will accommodate your needs. If its’ OK
with the campground, it’s OK with us. |
|
|
| |
| 14. Is there room for our cars/boats? Pick
a site that suits your needs---but check with the campground
host, as well. |
|
| |
| 15. What if the weather turns bad? Should
you decide to check out early, due to poor weather, unused
nights are non-refundable. |
|
| |
| 16. What’s the latest you
can deliver a trailer? During
our busiest days, we are usually finished between 5-6pm. |
|
| |
| 17. Can we have a campfire? Most
campsites have fire rings. If there’s a fire ring
you may have a campfire, otherwise, NO. |
|
| |
| 18. Can we extend our stay once
we’re
there? If the is trailer
is available sure! Call the reservation office to check
availability. Additional charges need to be paid in cash. |
|
| |
| 19. Is there a refund if we leave
early? NO .
. . We are unable to refund for any unused nights. |
|
| |
| 20. Can I reschedule if I cancel----without
penalty? See our Cancellation
Policy! |
|
| |
| 21. Is the trailer hooked up to
water and electricity? The
trailer is self-contained and carries 40 gallons of fresh
water. Batteries and propane run your appliances. If
you camp in a park with water and power we will gladly
hook you up to them. For first-time campers or people
with kids, this is the way to go! |
|
| |
| 22. How do we get more water? The
driver leaves you with the equipment to refill your water
tank. When he delivers the trailer he will show you how
to fill the jugs and empty them into the trailer, or
provide the necessary hose to hook up to a water spigot
close by. |
|
| |
| 23. Does the trailer have heat? All
trailers have central heat, which runs on battery power
and propane. Please be aware that the heaters require
a large draw on the battery so conserving battery power
is important. |
| |
| 24. Can we bring our Pet? Pets
are welcome. There is a $20 pet charge. We
ask that your dog not be left unattended inside the
trailer. |
 |
|
| |
| 25. What if
we run out of batteries while we’re there? Your
batteries can last 5-6 nights if you are conservative.
(Remember your heater is a huge draw). If you suspect
your batteries are getting low, call our office as early
in the morning as possible. We will make time during
the day to stop by. If we are going to be in your area,
we will stop by with fresh batteries at no charge to
you. If we have to make a special trip, there is a service
fee depending on the time/distance from our yard to your
campsite and back. It is important to call early, as
we don't make service calls after 5pm. |
|
| |
| 26. How come
the microwave does’t
work? They won’t operate
on battery power. The microwave and wall outlets will
work if you’re hooked up to an electrical source.
Your other appliances work on battery power and propane. |
|
| |
| 27. Is there
a coffee pot? Yes,
a stovetop percolator. If you're going into a park with
electrical hook-ups, you’re welcome to bring a
coffee maker or ask us if one is available. |
|
| |
| 28. What do we do if we have problems
during our visit? There is
a manual in the trailer that will trouble shoot any problem
you might have. Call our office. We will either talk
you through the problem or arrange a time to stop by.
Service calls after normal business hours are subject
to a fee. |
|
| |
| 29. Does the trailer have a generator? Yes,
available as an option (see options listings). If you
are planning on bringing a generator, let us know so
that we can leave the correct adaptor to plug the trailer
cord into your generator. |
|
| |
| 30. Does it
run on AC or DC power? The lights and appliances
all operate on DC power, except for the air conditioning
(if equipped) and microwave. These and the wall plugs
operate on 110 AC volt power. |
