About Faithful Parking

Riddle: What do you get when you combine RV travelers with faith-based organizations eager to welcome new friends in fellowship and raise some much needed funds in the process?

Answer: We're a Florida based company comprised of two RV enthusiasts,one living with his family full-time on the road and the other can be found most weekends in his teardrop trailer, and a US Army service-disabled veteran IT geek.

Faith Based Organizations

How much does it cost to participate?

There is absolutely no cost to the faith based organization for partipation only benefit. Some organizations have chosen to offer benefits like free morning coffee and access to restrooms, but that is all up to you. Just enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories of the great experiences they have had traveling this beautiful country of ours. And if anything did ever happen, we have you protected with a million dollar liability policy.

Why would we want to let people park at our church?

There are over 1 million families traveling full time and another 10 million traveling seasonally, and many of them are disconnected from their home church. Allowing these travelers to spend a night in your parking lot provides them with a safe, quiet night of sleep and a great opportunity for fellowship, while generating revenues so you can continue to help others.

How does it work?

You control the times and days of the week that you are available for travelers to park, as well as where within your lot they should stay. When a guest books, you will receive their profile information as well as a description of their vehicle so you know who is visiting. Your customized welcome information is sent to the guest when booking so they know all about your location. After their stay you receive 60% of the payment directly into your PayPal account. 

RV Guests

Why should I use Faithful Parking?

As RVers ourselves we completely understand the challenge faced when driving long distances and needing a safe, quiet night of sleep along the way. Faithful Parking connects you to a network of faith based organizations who are opening their empty parking lots up to you so you can camp comfortably and feel welcome in a new town.

How much does it cost to participate?

There is no membership fee, and most nights average between $10 - $20 depending on the facilities and their amenities. A portion of the nightly fee is used to cover management costs and fees, then 60% goes to the church to use for their own outreach and services.

What can I expect when I stay?

Each organization provides different resources and you are welcome to participate as you wish. Many offer access to restrooms and morning coffee. You have the opportunity to fellowship if you wish, or arrive late and depart early knowing you are going to get a peaceful nights sleep and support a great local ministry.

How do I know what to do or where to park?

Upon completing your reservation, you will be emailed a welcome package. In it you will find in many cases aerial photos showing where to park. In addition you will receive contact information and a list of available features such as play ground facilities, access to restrooms, picknic areas, or other anenities.

Sounds similar to what FMCA and GOOD SAM has/had only those were free spots.
