In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, housing is in high demand in communities left devastated by the storm. This includes contractors who are here as part of the recovery effort. As a result, Rockport R-V parks that were once the domain of tourists are now serving new clientele. R-V park owner Billy Serur, like many Rockport residents, is trying to restore a sense of normalcy to his life and his business, piece by piece. For Serur, the new demand is a welcome change. "I knew the park would probably be destroyed. R-V's can't withstand that," said Billy Paul Serur owner of R-V Haven Park. All of the R-V's left behind at the R-V Haven park were totaled by Harvey. "You don't really know where to start you just look around, break down, it's overwhelming," said Serur. "This was all of the debris that was pulled out from the R-V park. It took contractors about two and half weeks to clear the entire park." The R-V park is Serur's only source of income. He expects to be fully operational in a few weeks, but this time, it's a different sort of customer he'll be dealing with.
