Many higher end RV resorts have just about everything a full-time RV enthusiast could
desire. What they don’t typically have, however, are garages where active retirees can
pursue their hobbies or store their RVs, boats and other adult toys. But developer Jim
Eyster plans to fill that void by selling “condo garages” to RV enthusiasts who purchase
sites at Chassa Oaks RV Resort in
Homosassa, Fla. Offering RV condos on the lot next door to the resort will round out the
product offering of spacious RV sites and clubhouse amenities. “I think we’ve found the
right niche,” Eyster said.
Tom Weldon of Albuquerque, N.M. couldn’t agree more. “It’s
perfect for me,” said Weldon, who recently purchased a garage condo to accompany his RV
site. A retired government employee, Weldon said he builds canoes for a hobby and needs a
place for his woodshop. “I’m not one to sit around the pool or be sitting by my RV,” he
said. “But the garage condos are perfect for people who want to stay active.” Greg Smith
has a similar perspective. He and his wife, Sandy, also purchased a garage condo to
accompany her site at Chassa Oaks. “We’re in our early 50s and we’re not slowing down,”
Greg Smith said, adding that he needs a place to work on his motorcycles and to build a
car. “We’re going full-time (RVing), and the garage condo gives me a workshop as well as a
place to store some of our more personal items we don’t want to part with,” he said. For
