We have had many requests for information about the proper handling of RV’s parking at Lodges and the parking of automobiles in a Lodge’s parking lot.

The following repeats prior instructions indicating the need for Lodges to make RV owners sign an indemnity agreement if they park at the Lodge (this applies in all cases, regardless of whether they pay/donate a fee:

USE AGREEMENT FOR RV’S AND TRAILERS FOR LODGE NO. _____________
In consideration for being allowed to park my unit in the appropriate area designated by the Lodge, I hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless the Lodge from any and all claims and expenses arising out of my use of the facilities, except for the sole negligence of the Lodge. I further agree that no claim for damage to my property will be made against the Lodge under any circumstances and that any rights of subrogation for damage to my property are waived.
_________________________      ________
Unit Owner                                     Date

Also, all Lodge parking lots should have signs posted that state: “Anyone who parks in the Lodge’s parking lot parks at their own risk. The Lodge is not responsible for any damage to vehicles parked in the Lodge’s lot”.
