Living Magazine! 

Dear Readers, 

A few years ago I discovered beautiful RV parks with quaint little places called Park 

Model Homes. I was traveling full time in an RV and wondered about this cozy and adaptable 

seasonal housing. 

Since I am a curious guy who likes to learn new things, I researched Park Model Homes 

on the internet and in bookstores. To my astonishment, my results were fruitless. 

As I traveled more, I looked for Park Models and talked to owners and renters about this 

lifestyle. Because most of my travels were in warm climates many of the residents were folks 

from the northern United States and provinces in Canada. They migrated south in the winter 

to relax in the sunshine while those they left behind battled the cold and the snow. 

W h at a w onderfu l id ea to h ave a residen ce th at you can “park” an d en joy w ith out th e 

maintenance requirements of a larger home and property. I spent many years living in the cold 

winters in New England and love the idea of a life in warmer spaces. 

I purchased a Park Model Home in a park in central Arizona and settled in one place for 

awhile. As I met more Park Model owners I realized that there is a certain rhythm and style to 

life this way. Most of my neighbors had homes and families in other parts of the country. 

M an y h ad R V ‟s an d w ere w ell-traveled. We shared stories about how easy it is to live in 400 

square feet. 

My Park Model was over 20 years old and in excellent shape, however, as I settled in I noticed 

small things that needed to be repaired. I set out on a quest to locate repair parts. Once 

again I was unable to locate any information about how to maintain and repair this special 

home. 

There are more than 300,000 Park Models in seasonal and sometimes year-round use. 

Park Models are in resorts and campgrounds throughout the world – in all climates. With so 

many of us who enjoy the Park Model lifestyle, we deserve our own magazine. Since I could 

not locate one I decided to make a special magazine happen. 

I am pleased an d excited to an n ounce th e arrival of “P ark M odel L ivin g M agazin e.” I 

hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it. I look forward to many informative and 

interesting issues to come. We invite your comments and participation as we grow the magazine.

Congrats! 

Congratulations on 

your new venture! The 

Park Model industry is 

growing dramatically. 

Boomers are retiring 

and many of them purchase 

Park Models for 

a relaxing alternative. 

I look forward to seeing 

articles about the 

Park Model lifestyle.

Loving Luxury 

We recently bought 

our fourth Park Model. 

Charlie and I purchased 

our first Park 

Model in 1975 for use 

at a family campground 

in Kentucky. 

That first purchase let 

us go camping with our 

three children and 

Letters to the Editor 

sleep in a dry building 

rather than tents. 

While that Park Model 

had indoor plumbing 

and bunk beds it was 

certainly “bare-bones.” 

Our newest 

Park Model has luxuries 

w e didn‟t im agine 

in 1975. We have become 

snowbirds and 

stay in Florida January 

through March each 

year. Our lovely home 

has plush furniture, a 

fireplace and flat screen 

TV. It provides a relaxed 

and very comfortable 

way to live.

Suggestions for 

the Future 

W e are “new bies” to 

Park Models. We are 

both teachers and 

bought a fifth wheel to 

travel in the summer 

which we enjoyed for 

almost ten years. 

When we retired last 

year, friends suggested 

we rent a Park Model. 

We stayed at a great 

park in Georgia last 

year and had a wonderful 

time with activities 

and tours. The 

Park Model gave us 

more space to spread 

out and relax. Our 

rental had an attached 

screened porch that 

doubled our living 

space. This winter we 

plan to stay in Florida 

and make new friends. 

We would like to know 

about w ays to “tim e 

share” P ark M odels 

and hope future issues 

will address this.

uperstition Sunrise gets 

five stars and rave reviews. 

Sid & Diane 

O verby rep o rt, “W e really 

enjoy coming to Arizona as winter 

visitors. We especially like Superstition 

Sunrise Resort because 

of the friendly people and it has 

- P a r k R e v i e w - 

so many amenities at a reasonable 

co st.” 

Located in Apache Junction, 

Arizona this sparkling park 

is close to popular attractions that 

include Sedona, the Grand Canyon, 

golf courses and shopping 

malls. 

The park has 800 park 

models on larger pads (typically 

34 x 48) in a beautifully landscaped 

environment.

Alyson Stroup, Manager at 

Superstition Sunrise tells us, 

“M an y peo ple ch o o se a park 

based on location and features. 

At Superstition Sunrise we offer a 

beautiful location with tons of 

activities an d a fabu lo u s staff.” 

The inviting options include 

woodworking, dances, a library 

and computer room. 

Active residents enjoy water 

volleyball, tennis and pickle

all, a newer game that is a hit in 

many ways. A cross between ping 

pong and tennis, pickle ball is 

played with a racquet and a plastic 

ball. 

When asked why people 

love Superstition Sunrise, Alyson 

says, “T h ey 

want to come 

where the 

weather is 

nice, they 

have friends 

and they can 

go and enjoy 

themselves. 

Here people can relax, golf, 

and have many recreation choices 

so th ey‟re n o t bo red . W e fin d th at 

people who live in the Park Models 

get out for more activities, because 

th eir h o m e space is sm aller.” 

Residents relax in the large, 

sparkling, heated outdoor and 

pools and spas. They are pampered 

at the hair salon, masseuse 

room or nail tech center. 

The dedicated staff at Superstition 

Sunrise includes Carol and 

Peggy. Year round Recreation Directors 

plan on-site events and trips 

to local attractions, historic locations 

and parks. 

Most of the residents spend 

the winter season at the park, although 

some stay for only a month 

or two. Lew and Sandy Vinson told 

us why they love Superstition Sunrise: 

“W h en w e retired an d w en t 

full time as fifth wheel RV'ers in 

1986, we knew we wanted to spend 

our winters in Arizona. We'd already 

checked out Florida and 

Texas, and the desert and mountains 

of Arizona won us over. 

Friends wrote to us they had 

recently moved into a new RV park 

called Superstition Sunrise. They 

said it is „ch am pagn e livin g o n a 

beer p o cketbo o k.‟ W e to ld th em to 

reserve us a 

lot for three 

months. We 

were here 

two months 

and went annual. 

Two 

years later we 

bought our first Park Model. 

Twenty-one years later, we are still 

here and in our third Park Model. 

And, oh yes, it is still champagne 

livin g o n a beer p o cketbo o k!” 

Amenities at Superstition 

Sunrise include paved interior 

roads, laundry, pads with adjacent 

RV spaces, poolside cabanas, and a 

pet section. There are clubs and 

classes year round. - K.S.

A ctu ally it‟s both . T he In tern et h as become 

an integral part of our lives for e-mail, 

online banking, reading the hometown newspaper 

and a host of other uses. For those not deep 

into the techno culture it can be very frustrating. 

Problems with connections, set-up, e-mail, or attempts 

to figure it all out can be daunting. In the 

next four issues of Park Model Living Magazine 

I will help you unravel the mysteries of WIFI 

and show you how to tame the beast in simple, 

easy-to-understand language. 

Part one deals with a basic understanding 

of WIFI. What is it and how does it work? I 

w on‟t bore you w ith clever acronym s or com - 

puter buzzwords. WIFI is a means of connecting 

to the internet without wires. For purposes 

of this article it is the use of WIFI in an RV park 

that allows the residents to connect to the Intern 

et from their park m odel h om es or R V ‟s. 

The WIFI provider usually installs one or 

more antennas in the park. This allows the customer 

to connect to the internet using a computer 

that has a wireless client device attached to 

it. T h is is an im portan t poin t. “A w ireless clien t 

device” is n ot a router. T h e provider provides 

the router and you supply the client device. 

6 Park Model Living Magazine 

“ C om pu ter advice th at you can u se...an d u n derstan d!” 

By Dr. Computerist 

Think of the connection as two ends of an 

electrical power strip. One end plugs into the 

wall outlet (in this case the internet, this is usually 

the device provided by the company offering 

the internet service) then you plug in many appliances 

to the power strip. In our case the router 

is the power strip and the appliances are wireless 

client devices attached to computers. 

Now - how does it work? WIFI in general 

works best when you can see a clear sight line 

from your computer to the WIFI antenna. Although 

this is not a requirement, without it, your 

signal will be degraded. Consequently, your 

internet access may be very slow, your connection 

may be intermittent, or you may not be able 

to connect. Most of these devices are meant for 

connecting to routers that are a very short distance 

away from your computer, for example, the 

use of a Laptop computer with a built in WIFI 

device inside a building. 

As I write this article I am sitting in my 

home office in a beautiful old home in Akron 

Ohio (owned by my lovely fiancée). In November, 

I had a great wireless connection since the 

router was no more than 25 feet away in the living 

room. Alas, there was trouble brewing in

Part 1 

of a 

4-Part Series

WIFI paradise. In December we 

rekindled a family tradition of 

hers and cut down a live tree for 

the living room. 

So what has this to do 

with WIFI? Well, that wonderful 

tree was put in between the 

wireless router and me. After 

the tree was decorated with all 

the lovely ornaments (many of 

them metal, including of course 

the tinsel), my wireless signal 

instantly fell from excellent to 

low. Although I am usually able 

to connect and work, the speed 

has decreased as well. 

The moral of this story is: 

When it comes to WIFI, what 

you have now may not be what 

you have tomorrow. Many 

things in our environment effect 

the quality of WIFI connections. 

What can you do when 

you get an inadequate or inconsistent 

signal? You can purchase 

a more powerful device. This includes 

(but is not limited to) a 

wireless bridge, which is an external 

WIFI client device that 

will let you move the location of 

the device to get a better signal. 

In some cases you will 

need an antenna attached to the 

outside of your park model or 

RV. This outside antenna is the 

best solution. It eliminates the 

interference caused by being inside 

of a structure and generally 

results in a clear line of sight to 

the nearest transmitter. This solution 

almost always solves signal 

and connection problems. 

There are two ways to implement 

this solution. First, 

you can purchase a wireless 

bridge that allows you to connect 

an external antenna cable. 

You can then connect a network 

cable from the bridge to your 

computer. Second, if you prefer 

not to connect a cable to your 

computer, or if you have more 

than one computer you want attached 

to the internet, simply 

connect the wireless bridge to an 

inexpensive wireless router. 

Then connect your computer to 

that router using your wireless 

client devices. 

The second method actually 

creates your own little WIFI 


network. However, if you 

choose this option be sure to set 

some security in your new WIFI 

router. You can use WEP security, 

which essentially encrypts 

all the information sent and received, 

or you can use MAC address 

authentication so that no 

one else with WIFI can get into 

your computers. - Dr.C.

I s it possible to have luxury in only 400 square feet? Absolutely. As significantly 

more people purchase Park Models, demand has risen for comfortable elegance in 

these compact homes. Consumers want full size appliances, quality fabrics and durable 

surfaces that they expect in larger residences. Lee Enterprises, Athens Park 

Homes and Laurel Park Homes are among the manufacturers who focus on custom 

models with features usually found in residential construction.

When you want casual 

elegance in your Park Model, 

Lee Enterprises delivers. Erica 

Lee (Sales, Marketing and Design) 

and Jodi Lee (Office 

Manager, Purchasing and Accounting), 

granddaughters of 

founders Micki and Dale Lee, 

took us on a tour of their 

homes under construction. 

Lee Enterprises builds Park 

Models under the brand names 

of Resort Cabin, Cub Cabin 

and the Exclusive Bear Kountry 

Kabin. Jodi emphasized, 

“Q u ality is th e nu m ber one objective 

here. We focus on details 

an d get it righ t.” 

New in 2007, the Resort 

Cabin with Cape Cod Cottage 

decor is a visual treat. From 

the soothing gray-blue shingles 

on the outside, to the crisp 

white interior paneling, this 

home looks ready for the 

beach. The living area features 

shelving with bead board style 

and an electric fireplace. The 

model we toured had white 

curtains ready to move invit-

other special feature is exterior 

window boxes for gardeners to 

personalize with flowers. Add 

a good book and a water front 

view an d you‟re ready to relax 

for the season. 

Lee Enterprises has a 

market niche in custom designs. 

According to Erica, 

“W e w ork closely w ith th e cu stomer 

to provide a quality, personal 

space.” W h ile m an y 

Park Models are owned by 

snowbirds and located in 

w arm er clim ates, L ee‟s bu siness 

is expanding more in the 

North. Customers who work 

with Lee are getting more approvals 

for placement of Park 

Models in 

campgrounds. 

One 

Lee Park 

Model inclu 

des a 102” 

wide shingled 

roof with a 

hinged floor 

slide out. 

Options include 

cedar 

logs, cedar 

lap siding, 


metal roof, residential oak 

cabinetry, single or double lofts 

and a new super bay added this 

year. E rica said, “In th e 8 ½ ‟ 

wide models we do lofts and 

many companies do not. This 

is a big seller for u s.” T h e th ermopane 

windows tilt in for 

easy cleaning. A 40,000 BTU 

fu rn ace is stan dard in L ee‟s 

models and upgrades are available. 

Rustic Bear Kountry 

Kabin is a warm and lightfilled 

log cabin with custom 

cabinets and furniture. The attention 

to detail is obvious 

with trim that includes attractive 

and functional pine knobs 

on the kitchen cabinets. For 

this model, the cabinets and 

hand-crafted log furniture are 

Amish-made and contribute to 

an appealing space. The sturdy 

rocking chair was especially 

inviting. 

The upholstery on the 

sofa featured a rustic scene 

with bears and added to the 

overall harmony of design. 

This cabin is winterized and 

headed to Heritage Lake campgrounds 

in Wisconsin. A custom 

design, it was built with an 

additional door in the living 

room to accommodate an extra 

room that will be added on 

site. 

Lee Enterprises is noted 

for its unique upscale appearance 

with quality the number 

one objective. As Jodi said, 

“W e u se h igh en d m aterials 

an d produce qu ality m odels.” 

For 23 years they have sold to 


dealers, developers and consumers. 

Athens Park Homes of 

Athens, Texas builds Park 

Models with quality craftsmanship 

and design harmony usually 

seen in residential construction. 

Dick Grymonprez, 

Vice President of Sales and 

M arketin g states, “B efore w e 

started the business, we researched 

what others were 

doing. We knew that to 

be competitive we couldn 

‟t bu ild th e sam e th in gs. 

We chose to do the luxury 

models. Our Park Models 

have a luxury residential 

look. We got into business 

specifically to do upgrade 

models. We offer 

something unique and differen 

t.” 

The Estate, Manor 

and Royal series produced 

by Athens Park Homes 

feature uniquely designed 

exteriors and interiors that 

feature tape and textured 

walls, ceilings accented by 

plant ledges, soffits over 

the cabinets, recessed 

lighting and ten foot ceilings. 

The Estate Series model 

has a deep overhang, large 

multi-pane windows and a rear 

porch. Many of these models 

ship with front and rear 

porches, adding attractive and 

livable space. This model has 

the largest windows and accommodation 

of any vacation 

home in its class. 

Standard interior features 

include raised wood cabinet 

doors and built-ins, space 

saving pocket doors, ceramic 

backsplash and edging. Clerestory 

and prismatic dormers 

are available in most models. 

These features contribute to a 

space that is filled with light 

and very welcoming. 

Included as standard 

items in the Manor, Royal and 

Estate are insulated patio door 

with window grids, ceiling fan 

A n exam ple of th e A th en s P ark H o m es “M an or” m odel 

in the living room and plywood 

floor decking. Kitchen 

features include lined cabinets 

with hidden door hinges, double 

metal drawer glides and 

laminate counter tops. The 

mirrored wardrobe doors in the 

bedroom add to the spacious 

feel. All of these models have 

loft or porches which maximize 

the living space. 

Grymonprez added, 

“W e bu ild about 500 u n its per 

year – all luxury. Even our en- 


try level is tape and texture. 

When we go up, we upgrade 

cabinets, carpet and drapes. 

We also do custom models 

with granite countertops and 

stain less steel appliances.” 

Athens Park builds the 

Estate with heavy duty exterior 

construction. It includes a 

front rounded bay with five 

windows and heavy asphalt/ 

fiberglass shingles with a 20 

year warranty. Backer board 

wraps the entire home. The 

Campanel Fiber Cement Siding 

is by James Hardie. 

Laurel Creek Homes, in 

Phoenix, Arizona, builds luxurious 

Park Model homes designed 

to meet seasonal living 

needs. Their Park Models are 

built with standard features 

such as full tape and texture 

interiors, residential cabinets, 

full size appliances, and solid

framing construction. These 

homes are typically placed in 

desirable resort communities. 

Laurel Creek has an especially 

robust web site that was 

fun to navigate. It includes a 

wealth of photos and a customer 

tool inset. The on-line 

shopping includes stylish selections 

for wall colors, fabrics and 

counter tops. 

Upscale kitchen design is 

a valued feature for many customers. 

Some 

of the favorite 

Laurel Creek 

kitchen options 

include 

custom countertops, 

a bay 

window and 

an unexpected 

island – a 

masterful design 

in only 

400 square 

feet. 

The living 

rooms in 

some models 

surround you 

with light. One room we 

viewed has windows on three 

sides including sliders and a 

bay window. The addition of a 

colorful valance adds to the 

luxury feel. 

A dining room option includes 

an angled cupboard with 

countertop and glass front cabinets 

that look like a high-end 

furniture hutch. Extra large 

windows adjacent to the dining 

table give you the feeling of al 

fresco dining. Additional glass 

front cabinets and a wrap 

around counter provide display 

space.

By Benjamin Regal 

PML Contributing Writer 

Five years ago a camper, tired of having 

just one vacation spot, walked up to a campground 

owner in New Hampshire and posed to 

him a simple question, a question that would 

lead to a big answer. He explained that he 

wanted to buy another 

park model RV from 

him, but this time he 

wanted to put it in Florida. 

Could that be 

done? 

That simple question 

planted a seed into 

the mind of the campground 

owner. Over 

the next two years that 

seed grew and in 2004 

Joe Persechino, the then 

campground owner 

- D e a l e r R e v i e w - 

and now entrepreneur, 

created Park Models Plus, LLC. 

This company is a new kind of animal in 

an old industry. A bold idea indeed, this is a 

dealersh ip th at doesn‟t ju st sell its cu stom ers a 

park model but one that helps its customers enter 

into a new lifestyle. 

It is, as President Anne Sailer describes, a 

different type of company for a different type of 

R V , “one th at is m ore in lin e w ith th e park m odel 

lifestyle, and one that better caters to the park 

m odel clien tele.” 

As president of Park Models Plus, as 

daughter of Joe Persechino and as a major architect 

of his vision, Anne Sailer sits behind her 

A One-Stop Ticket to the 

T h e A th en s “R o yal” m odel - one of many models available through Park Models Plus 


Park Model World 

desk and proudly explains how PMP has innovated 

to meet the demands of people who want 

to enter the park model world. 

Sailer, with the unusual combination of 

youthful exuberance and what is clearly a deep 

understanding of the industry, is ready with a list 

of m ajor differences betw een a traditional “brick 

an d m ortar” dealersh ip 

an d h er fam ily‟s com - 

pany. 

“P ark M odels P lu s 

only sells park m odels,” 

sh e says, “an d only th e 

best ones at th at,” sh e 

adds with confidence. 

Based on the knowledge 

gain ed from h er paren ts‟ 

years of selling park 

models inside their 

campground in New 

Hampshire, and after an 

exhaustive research period 

and a series of factory visits, Sailer identified 

manufacturers for PMP to ally itself with. 

Their manufacturers include Athens Park Homes 

and Woodland Park Homes. Both examples were 

chosen for ones who build-in the most quality 

construction and standard features, and offer 

flexible floor plans and solid warrantees. 

But why limit sales to only one type of 

R V ? S h e sm iles, it‟s obvious to h er. “W e decided 

to specialize in park models because we 

knew clearly, that there was a market out there 

not being satisfied. Park models are different 

than a travel trailer or a motor home in that they 

really aren ‟t design ed to travel an yw h ere!”

She looks at the map on her wall, bristling 

with push pins most dense in the Florida 

an d N ew E n glan d areas. “W e only sell one 

type of RV but we deliver much more than just 

a physical product.” 

She continues to explain that people who 

are looking to buy a park model are looking for 

a vacation home, a second home or a new 

h om e in a n icer clim ate. “M ost of all th ey 

want it to feel like a home not a mini-bu s.” 

The company delivers on this personal 

home feel by performing a personal consultation 

with each and every customer. They custom 

design and order nearly every model. The 

model usually delivers within 4 – 6 weeks and 

th en a fu ll “tu rn -key set u p” is perform ed on 

site. 

“P eople w h o w an t to bu y a park m odel 

often are in n eed of a good place to pu t it.” T o 

fin d th e perfect location for th ose w h o don ‟t already 

have one, PMP has created a giant network 

of pre-approved and rated parks from all 

over the country. From their website 

(parkmodelsplus.com), or 1-800-603-7889, customers 

can access their ParkLocator service. 

This is a very handy tool where customers can 

enter their desired criteria for a park. (buy or 

rent your lot? which state?, mountains or 

beach?, wooded or open?, etc.) Then, PMP 

employees create a short list of parks from their 

database that meet the criteria. The results are 

sent to the customer and followed up with a 

phone call. 

Lastly she explains that Park Models 

Plus, can almost always beat the price of any 

traditional dealer. Every order is shipped directly 

from the factory to th e cu stom er‟s lot. 

T h e com pan y doesn ‟t h ave one official sales lot 

and holds little inventory allowing the company 

to operate under very low overhead costs. 

S ailer creates a n ice visu al, “w e don‟t com - 

pletely eliminate the middle man, we are one 

still, bu t w e‟re a th in an d lean m iddle m an in - 

stead a big fat one.” 

Park Models Plus, LLC, must be, by anyone‟s 

stan dards in th e park m odel w orld, an 

ambitious and excitingly new idea. They offer 

a choice of top manufacturers. They have a 

narrow, concentrated focus on exclusively selling 

park models but simultaneously, they have 

greatly broadened the spectrum of services offered 

by a dealership. In fact, you cannot define 

the company simply as a park model dealership, 

they sell park models plus.

News & Notes on the Park Model Lifestyle 

from R P T IA E xecu tive D irector W .R . “B ill” G arpow 

What a thrill it is to be a part of a brand 

new publication devoted to Recreational Park 

Trailer owners. This is a great lifestyle and one 

that offers wonderful adventures in these seasonal 

and vacation dwellings. The Recreational 

Park Trailer Industry Association, Inc. (RPTIA) 

represents the industry firms that provide the 

products and services enjoyed by our owners. As 

the founding Executive Director of the Association 

(established in 1993) it is indeed a privilege 

for me to write this column and hopefully become 

the person you can turn to for information 

about your recreational park trailer or the lifestyle 

it offers. 

While I may not have the information 

right at hand I will hopefully have the gift of 

some time for a little research before my reply 

gets published. That research will be used to 

make-up a response that will make you think 

th at I really am “T h e A n sw er G u y”. W h at a 

luxury it will be for me compared to the telephone 

calls and daily barrage of e-mails that requ 

ire a m ore or less im m ediate response. It‟s 

really nice to be able to check things out twice 

before being required to reply once. 

You might ask: “W h at are m y qu alifications 

to be your A n sw er G u y?” T o start w ith 

I‟ve been doin g th is kin d of w ork sin ce 1969. I 

first got into trade association management with 

an organization that still successfully represents 

the Recreation Vehicle and Manufactured Housing 

Industry in Michigan. I liked the work and 

especially enjoyed the chance it gave me to make 

a difference and help people overcome obstacles 

and make things work the way they should. As 

su ch , I‟ve been involved in th e R V in dustry (or its 


cousin, manufactured housing) as a trade association 

staff member for 38 years. 

O ver th at tim e I‟ve w orked for or h ave represented 

the interests of RV owners, dealers, 

manufacturers, suppliers, park owners, finance 

and insurance firms and have done so in many 

interesting places and in different ways. I have 

worked with federal, state and local governmental 

agencies and legislative bodies, as well as with 

industry professionals who together have created 

the nationally recognized safety standards that 

our products are built in compliance with. Additionally, 

I work with educational, statistical and 

demographic tracking programs that keep the industry 

and the public current with changes in the 

industry. Working with the media helps spread 

the facts about these products and how they 

serve the needs of our owners. 

I‟ll look forw ard to h earin g from you an d 

responding to your questions. Send me questions 

covering: taxes, building codes, land use 

issues, decks and add-on rooms, forms of ownership 

and what this all means to you as an owner. 

How you can use your unit and what you can or 

cannot do with it and why. Send them to me

When baseball players annou 

nce, “I‟m going to the sh ow ” 

it means they are headed to the 

majors. We headed to the majors 

recently by attending the 44 th annual 

National RV Trade Show 

sponsored by the Recreational Vehicle 

Industry Association 

(RVIA). 

This show features supplies 

and services for the recreation 

industry. There were megadisplays 

including lights, music 

and food as well as entrepreneurs 

with amazing new ideas. With 

almost 300 vendors there was a 

wealth of information. Most of 

the show has a focus on motor 

coaches and fifth wheels. It seems 

that Park Models are often the 

“step-child” in the R V industry. 


B ecause our lovely hom es aren‟t 

as portable as trailers and motor 

coaches, we get convention space 

in the furthest arena and not much 

media attention. Park Model 

Living Magazine (PMLM) is here 

to focus on your interests. 

We love Park Models and 

realized that there is no publication 

focused on the lifestyle for 

people who own and rent Park 

Models. This trade show gave us 


a chance to see many Park Model 

manufacturers in one arena and we 

had a great time. 

One of the best bonuses at 

the show was meeting the team 

from the Recreational Park Trailer 

Industry Association (RPTIA). Executive 

Director Bill Garpow offered 

to be our “answ er guy” for the 

magazine and we gratefully accept. 

Laraine Ayers and Kathy Rook answered 

lots of questions (and made 

luggage tags from our business 

cards). Thanks RPTIA for sharing 

your expertise! 

The Park Model manufacturers 

at this show were a pleasant and 

welcoming bunch. There are family 

owned businesses and major companies 

producing standard and custom 

models. If you can dream it – these 

folks will build it. Thanks to all the 

people who answered our questions, 

gave us brochures and welcomed us 

to the P ark M odel fam ily. W e‟ll 

share more of their stories and ideas 

as the magazine 

grows. 

Our 

goal with 

PMLM is to 

entertain 

and educate 

folks who 

enjoy the 

compact, 

easy to 

maintain 

space of 400 

square feet. 

We want 

you to suggest 

articles, 

submit pictures 

and 

ask questions. 

We are doing research now 

on the following and welcome input 

from you: Small Treasures (parks 

with fewer than 50 Park Models), 

Getting There is Half the Fun (how 

you travel to and from your Park 

The beautiful front entryway at Superstition Sunrise 


Model), Navigation Systems (what 

glows and what glitches), Byways 

(fun things to see). We look forward 

to your comments. - A.O.

Cypress Gardens Adventure 

Park in Winter Haven, Florida – 

one of F lorida‟s oldest am u sement 

parks. 

Cypress Gardens, a 70plus 

year veteran of the Florida 

tourist trade, is the amusement 

park w orld‟s “com eback kid.” 

Closed down in 2003 due to a 

sharp decline in tourism, the 

park was snapped up in 2004 by 

the Adventure Parks Group 

owned by Kent Buescher. 

Since the grand reopening, 

the 150-acre park has 

had an amazing renaissance 

and no few hard knocks. 

Slammed by three hurricanes in 

2004, the park sustained more 

than $25 million in damages 

and was able to collect less than 

$7 million from their insurance 

company. 

Undaunted, the park has 


remained open and is going 

strong. Since 2004, they have 

added 12 new rides and attractions. 

The park is adding yet 

another ride – the Starliner. 

This one is a little different, 

th ough becau se, w ell, it‟s n ot 

new. The new kid on the block 

is actually a 44-year old classic 

John Allen wooden coaster that 

was acquired in 2004 from Pan 

am a C ity B each ‟s M iracle 

Strip Amusement Park which 

closed down that year. The 


Starliner is being painstakingly 

rebuilt at Cypress Gardens and 

should open to the public 

sometime in 2007. 

The rides are a blast, but 

they are hardly the only attraction 

at the park. The park also 

has a whopping 18 restaurants, 

with a great selection of standard 

amusement park fare, and 

9 different shows. The shows 

range from the garden tour to 

the ice show to the classic water 

ski show that debuted at 

Cypress Gardens in 1943.

has a fantastic lineup of concerts 

each year. The 2007 

schedule is packed with a great 

selection of performers from a 

variety of musical genres. The 

year started off with Bobby 

Goldsboro, Charlie Pride, and 

Bobby Vinton in January and 

the hits just keep on coming 

throughout the year. Upcoming 

acts include Willie Nelson,

"Conseil d'ordinateur que vous pouvez employer... et comprendre!" 

par Docteur Computerist 

En fait, il est les deux. L'Internet est devenu 

une partie intégrale de nos vies comme pour le 

courriel, les opérations bancaires en ligne, la lecture 

du journal de votre ville natale et un centre serveur 

pour d'autres utilisations. Pour ceux qui ne 

sont pas dans la culture de la technologie en profondeur 

vous pouvez devenir très frustrer. Les problèmes 

avec les raccordements, l'installation, le 

courriel ou des tentatives pour figurer le tout peu 

être très intimidants parfois. Dans les quatre prochaines 

publications du magasine 

“P arkm odelliving” je vais vous aider à com prendre 

les mystères de WIFI et vous montrer comment 

apprivoiser la bête dans un langage simple et 

facile à comprendre. 

1ière P artie : W IF I … c’est quoi ? 

La première partie consiste à comprendre la base 

de “W IF I”. Q u'est-ce que c'est et comment çà 

fonctionne? Je ne vous ennuierai pas avec des acronymes 

ou des mots à la mode intelligents d'ordinateur. 

WIFI est un moyen de se relier à l'Internet 

sans fils dans un parc de RV et qui permet aux résidants 

de se brancher à l'Internet à partir de leurs 

maisons de parc modèle ou de leur RV. 

Le fournisseur de WIFI installe habituellement 

une ou plusieurs antennes dans le parc. Ceci 

permet au client de se relier à l'Internet à l'aide 

d'un ordinateur qui a un dispositif de client sans fil 

inclus. C'est un point très important. « Un dispositif 

de client sans fil » n'est pas un routeur. Le fournisseur 

d‟internet va fournir le routeur et vous devez 

fournir le dispositif sans fil de client. 


Partie 1 

d'une série 

4 Parts 

Penser au raccordement des deux extrémités 

d'une bande de courant électrique. Un bout de la 

bande est branché à la prise murale (dans ce cas-ci 

c‟est l'Internet, ceci est habituellem ent le dispositif 

fourni par la compagnie offrant le service d'Internet) 

et vous pouvez alors brancher beaucoup d'appareils 

à la bande de puissance. Dans notre cas, le 

routeur est la bande de puissance et les appareils 

sont les dispositifs sans fil de client fixés aux ordinateurs. 

Maintenant - comment cela fonctionne ? 

WIFI fonctionne généralement mieux quand vous 

pouvez voir l'antenne de WIFI dans une ligne direct 

de vision à partir de votre ordinateur. Bien que 

ce ne soit pas une condition, sans lui, votre signal 

sera dégradé. En conséquence, votre accès d'Internet 

peut être très lent, votre raccordement peut être 

interm ittent ou vous ne serez pas capable d‟avoir la 

connections. La plus part de ces dispositifs sont 

conçus pour se relier aux routeurs qui sont à une 

distance très courte de votre ordinateur, comme 

pour exemple, l'utilisation d'un ordinateur portable 

à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment avec le dispositif de WI- 

FI intégré. 

Au moment que j'écris cet article je suis assis 

a mon bureau du siège social dans une belle vieille 

maison à Akron Ohio (la propriété de ma chère 

fiancée). En novembre dernier, j'avais un très bon 

raccordement par le branchement sans fil puisque 

le routeur, qui est situé dans la salle de séjour, 

n'était pas plus de 25 pieds de l‟ordinateur. H élas, 

il y a eu des ennuis qui a dérangé et brouillé le paradis 

de WIFI. En décembre, nous avons rallumé 


une tradition familiale de ma 

fiancée et nous avons coupé un 

arbre de Noël pour la salle de séjour. 

Q u‟est ce que ceci vient 

faire avec WIFI ? Bien, cet arbre 

de Noël merveilleux a été placé 

entre le routeur sans fil et l‟ordinateur. 

Après que l'arbre a été décoré 

de tous ces beaux ornements 

(bon nombre d'entre eux 

métal, incluant naturellement la 

tresse), mon signal sans fil est immédiatement 

tombé de l'excellent 

à bas. Bien que je puisse habituellement 

me relier et travailler, la 

vitesse a aussi diminué. 

La morale de cette histoire 

est : Quand çà vient à WIFI, ce 

que vous avez m aintenant n‟est 

peut être pas ce que vous aurez 

demain. Beaucoup de choses 

dans notre environnement affectent 

la qualité des raccordements 

de WIFI. 

Que pouvez-vous faire 

quand vous obtenez un signal insatisfaisant 

ou contradictoire ? 

Vous pouvez acheter un dispositif 

plus puissant. Ceci inclut 

(m ais n'est pas lim ité) à un pont 

sans fil, qui est un dispositif externe 

de client de WIFI qui vous 

laissera déplacer le dispositif à 

un autre endroit pour pouvoir obtenir 

un meilleur signal. 

Dans certains cas vous aurez 

besoin d'une antenne qui sera 

attachée à l'extérieur de votre 

maison modèle de parc ou de votre 

RV. Cette antenne extérieure 

est la meilleure solution. Elle élimine 

l'interférence causée par les 

obstacles situés à l'intérieur d'une 

structure et a généralement comme 

conséquence une ligne directe 

de vue claire à l'émetteur le plus 

proche. 

Cette solution résout presque 

toujours tous les problèmes 

de signal et de raccordement que 

vous pouvez avoir. 

Il y a deux manières de 

mettre en application cette solution. 

Premièrement, vous pouvez 

acheter un pont sans fil qui permet 

de se relier à un câble d'antenne 

externe. Vous pouvez alors 

relier un câble de réseau à partir 

du pont jusqu‟à votre ordinateur. 

Deuxièmement, si vous préférez 

ne pas relier de câble à votre ordinateur 

ou si vous avez plus d'un 

ordinateur que vous voulez brancher 

à l'Internet, relier simplement 

le pont sans fil à un routeur 

sans fil qui est peu coûteux. Ce 

dernier permet alors de brancher 

l‟ordinateur à ce routeur à l'aide 

du dispositif sans fil de client. 


La deuxième méthode crée 

réellement votre propre petit réseau 

de WIFI. Cependant, si 

vous choisissez cette option assurez-vous 

de placer une certaine 

sécurité dans votre nouveau routeur 

de WIFI. Vous pouvez utiliser 

la sécurité de WEP, qui chiffre 

essentiellement toute information 

envoyée et reçue ou vous 

pouvez utiliser l'authentification 

de MAC adresse de sorte que 

personne d'autre avec WIFI puissent 

entrer dans vos ordinateurs.
