Sacred Rocks Reserve and RV Park, Located at 3,900 Feet in the Mountains East
of San Diego, First in Nation to Offer Solar-Powered Park Models to Consumers
as Low-Cost Weekend Cottages
The public is invited to learn about benefits of solar technology and tour the
nation's first solar-powered park models during a Jan. 24 'Solar Party' at
Sacred Rocks Reserve
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers seeking a low-cost,
environmentally friendly mountain retreat may find the vacation cottage of
their dreams at Sacred Rocks Reserve and RV Park in the mountains east of San
Diego.
The 163-acre resort and wilderness preserve, located at the 3,900-foot level
near the oak-dotted town of Boulevard, is the first RV Park in the nation to
offer solar-powered park models, which can be placed on leased sites and used
as a weekend retreats or vacation cottages.
Typically upscale in appearance, park models are 400-square foot movable
resort cottages with bay windows and lofts that are designed exclusively for
part-time recreational use. "We think these units will be particularly
appealing to consumers who want an affordable, environmentally friendly
mountain retreat cottage," said Sharon Courmousis, owner of Sacred Rocks
Reserve, adding that the park is roughly an hour's drive from San Diego and
Imperial County and less than two hours from Yuma, Arizona. Prices start at
around $55,000, with annual lease fees at Sacred Rocks averaging $4,800.
Manufactured by Phoenix-based Cavco Industries, the manufacturer in the
country to produce solar powered park models, these units are equipped with
solar panels that can save consumers anywhere from 25 to 75 percent on their
utility bills.
Cavco's solar powered park models remain on the grid, collecting power on
sunny days, sending it into the grid, and generating credits for the consumer.
"The savings can be tremendous because these units are used as weekend or
vacation homes," says Meredith McClintock, CEO of Ready Solar Inc., the
Redwood City, CA company that provides the solar panels for Cavco's park
models.
A Solar Party, co-hosted by Ready Solar Inc. and Cavco, will be held at Sacred
Rocks Reserve January 24, from 1 to 3 pm. Open to the public, the event will
provide an opportunity for consumers, government officials and members of the
news media to tour the nation's first solar-powered park models.
"We'll provide information about how the technology of solar works, as well as
the short and long-term benefits to the consumer," says McClintock.
