Kirk W Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Since the question of more co-op parks was recently brought up, I thought that this article might be helpful to those not familiar with it.

Twotoes Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks Kirk. Interesting article. With the growth of membership and many of us reaching an older age (and for us full timers experiencing this pandemic with no place to go) it may be the right time for Escapees to think about creating some new Co-Ops opportunities.

Travis indicated some interest in something more directed to that group but it didn't sound like it was very close. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Twotoes Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yes X-scapers is growing but many people are also retiring or nearing retirement and with more Co-Ops available it may be an incentive to join Escapees. And older members are more likely to renew as opposed to younger who may go off the road and back into a sticks and bricks.

It's been our experience that it is older members, like us, who are going off the road as health and abilities deteriorate.

Twotoes Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yes Linda, many older members are going off the road due to health issues but may remain in their RV. That is why it would be good to have more Co-Ops so we older members have a place to park. Many Escapees Parks like Livingston, Congress AZ, and Golf Shores AL actually have deeded lots with a sticks and bricks house with an RV port.
