Alright so we just bought our Jayco TT and it will be at a seasonal site. One of the criteria's is to have a name plaque or plate on the front of the TT. Just wanted to get some ideas and was wondering what you guys have. I prefer not to get it stickered on the front.

Thanks for sharing.

Who's criteria? Campground or yours?

Try any local sign shop.

I would also recommend that you don't put your last name or where you live, since it give thieves the chance to check out sites, and find where you actually live, so that they can rip off you house, when you are away.
Same goes for folks who give too much information on sites like Facebook..."We're heading off for a week long trip"...and then have all their information about where they live. Big mistake.

The sign in the picture is great! Tells who you are, but not too much.
I would think that any sign shop would be able to make something, or you can even get stick-on letters (in some nice fonts) from an art supply store, and make your own.

Also, if the CG is requiring the signage, they may also be restrictive in what that sign looks like. I'd contact them, and ask who does the signs? They may have a local shop that does regular work for them, and knows what is expected. At the very least, you can find out what the size limitations are. They may only want wooden signs like the one you showed??

Good luck

It escapes me why any seasonal site place would require a name plate. If somebody knows, please explain.

Thanks and you bring up a very good point. And thanks to those who provided link.

It's the campgrounds criteria.

Let's not make this a thread on campground rules we like or dislike.

Since it's the CGs criteria I would get a recommendation from them where to go. That way there is no doubt about whether the sign meets their criteria. Otherwise there may be room for conflict in the future.
