UTILITIES & SERVICES
WIFI & Internet Policy
NorthStar RV facilitates access to high-speed fiber internet through an independent third-party provider, 360 Broadband. NorthStar RV acts solely as a pass-through facilitator and is NOT a party to any internet service agreement between Guest and 360 Broadband. NorthStar RV makes no warranties or representations regarding internet availability, speed, reliability, or continuity of service, and shall not be liable for any interruption, outage, or failure of internet service. All service inquiries, outage reports, and billing questions must be directed exclusively to 360 Broadband. Any monthly internet fees collected by NorthStar RV are collected on behalf of 360 Broadband and do not create any service obligation on the part of NorthStar RV.
All WIFI internet must be private: WIFI signals (SSIDs) must be password protected and guests may not share WIFI/Internet access among licensees or guests.
Water
A water regulator is required for each RV. Guests may not connect water to their RV without a functioning regulator. Water to each site is maintained by NorthStar RV and supplied by SW Fannin SUD.
Electric
A prepaid electric deposit of $100.00 is required before check-in.
Although each RV site is equipped with a meter that has both a 30 and a 50 amp plug, guests may only use one plug at a time, not simultaneously. Do not overload the meter or share a meter with other guests. Do not modify or tamper with the electrical meters in any way. You may only use the pedestal at a site that you reserve and are up-to-date on payments.
Electric Vehicle Charging - Guests may NOT charge an electric vehicle while their RV is utilizing or plugged into a 50 or 30 amp plug on their dedicated pedestal. This is unsafe and may result in overloading.
Meters are read monthly by kilowatt hour and usage is billed to each licensee/guest.
If NorthStar RV has reasons to suspect a meter reading is inaccurate, we reserve the right to use previous readings to make estimations.
Do NOT put your own locking devices on any of NorthStar's utilities, properties, or amenities. A $100 replacement fee will be imposed on guests whose meter rings and locks are found to be broken. Vandalism and theft charges may also be filed as well. NorthStar RV is not financially responsible for loss of or damage to people, pets, or property.
According to the Texas Utilities Code Sec. 184.036, RV owners may withhold electric, water, or wastewater utility services from a person occupying a recreational vehicle at the park if the occupant is delinquent in paying for utility services provided by the operator until the occupant pays the delinquent amount. NorthStar reserves the right to revoke, shut off, and lock utilities for nonpayment, delinquent accounts, or on guests we’re trying to eject. NorthStar RV's authority to disconnect utilities for non-payment is also codified under Texas Senate Bill 1268, which governs RV park operations. Both Texas Utilities Code Sec. 184.036 and Senate Bill 1268 are cited as independent and concurrent authority, and the citation of one shall not limit the other.
Utility Lien. In addition to Licensor's statutory authority under Texas Utilities Code § 184.036 and Senate Bill 1268, all unpaid License Fees, electrical charges, and other fees accrued under this Agreement shall constitute a contractual lien upon Licensee's recreational vehicle and all personal property located on the Licensed Area. This lien shall attach upon the date any fee becomes delinquent and shall remain in effect until all outstanding amounts are paid in full. Licensor may enforce this lien through any remedy available at law or equity, including but not limited to restricting removal of the recreational vehicle or personal property from the Licensed Area until all delinquent amounts are satisfied.
Waste
NorthStar RV is on a septic system. All RVs must have empty holding tanks upon entering the park. No plastic items (i.e. condoms, tampon dispensers, straws, etc.) can be flushed. Use of RV/septic toilet paper is mandatory.There will be a minimum charge of $100.00 for sewage cleanup.
Texas State Law requires all sewer hoses to be connected with a sewer hose seal and must be airtight at all times.
Trash
A garbage dumpster will be made available on the property. Disposal is for guests’ household garbage only. No mattresses, large items, electronics, or hazardous materials (paint, oils, etc.) are permitted.
Upon check-out, guests must leave a site or facility in the way it was at check-in. Extra fees may be applied for waste removal and disposal, cleaning and/or repairs.
Site Keys and Site Access
Upon arrival, primary applicant guests will be provided with 1 or 2 gate keys to their site. At time of departure, guests shall be returned to NorthStar RV Manager. Lost site keys will be subject to a $40.00 replacement fee.
On-site, keyed mailboxes exist for guests (cluster mailbox) and are assigned during their stay. Lost mailbox keys will be subject to a $40.00 replacement fee. Large packages may not be deliverable to RV sites by couriers or may not fit into the cluster mailbox.
PAYMENT POLICY
Guest fees are due on the 1st of each month. All payments shall be AUTOMATIC and made with credit card or electronic bank check deposit online using a digital platform. A late fee of $25.00 will be added to any unpaid balance on the 3rd day past due and $25.00 added for every day thereafter until balance is paid in full. Services will also be subject to immediate termination as represented in Senate Bill 1268.
If Guest Fees are not paid in full 5 (five) days after the due date, the RV is in default and NorthStar RV has the right to disconnect electrical and have defaulted RV towed off site in accordance with Senate Bill 1268. Licensee will be in default after five (5) days of delinquency (as defined in Section 2.5 of the Guest License Agreement), after which a three (3) day notice to vacate the Property will be posted and enforced against Licensee. NorthStar RV guests reside under Senate Bill 1268 and understand utilities will be cut off after Licensee is in default as defined in the Guest License Agreement for delinquent or non-payment of monthly charges. Refunds, if any, are governed exclusively by Section 2.6 of the NorthStar RV Guest License Agreement and may be limited or denied in cases of default or termination for cause.
According to TEXAS PENAL CODE SECTION 31:04 (b) any guest who leaves without paying for site services or refuses to pay for site services when due is subject to criminal prosecution. NorthStar RV is providing service hook-ups for guests' RVs. Full payment is required in advance and any violations will be prosecuted under the "THEFT OF SERVICES LAW".
THESE RULES, REGULATIONS, AND GUIDELINES DO NOT CREATE A LANDLORD/TENANT RELATIONSHIP.
NorthStar RV reserves the right to update or modify these Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines at any time with written notice to guests of at least seven (7) days prior to the effective date. Continued occupancy after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified rules. NorthStar RV reserves the right to refuse, deny, or terminate service for legitimate business reasons consistent with applicable federal and state law, including but not limited to violations of this Agreement, Rules and Regulations, or applicable law.
