Will RV parks have a problem with this toyhauler?

We are hoping to buy a new toy hauler from Lakota. This company normally makes horse trailers so their toy haulers look very similar to horse trailers (but without the horse stalls of course). All trailers made by Lakota are RVIA sealed.

Anyway -- before we purchase, we wanted to see if RV parks would have an issue with a trailer like this. We plan to live in this rv, staying at parks around the country for 4-6 months at a time, while we work in the area. The back garage area will give us space for my husband's motorcycle.

Just wondering how often people see trailers like this at rv parks... they are more like car haulers with living quarters. And if we should expect any complaints from rv parks since it doesn't look like a typical fifth wheel trailer. It WILL have a RVIA seal so I'm hoping there will be no issues.

We have not ordered it yet -- but here are some pictures of what it will look like.

    My opinion? I don't thing RV parks would have a problem with it, but some prissy RV resorts may have.

    I can't believe it would be any different than owning/camping with a Work & Play toy hauler!

    Your link was removed because you are a new member. They do it because of spammers.
    I am familiar but do not own one of the trailers you mention.
    I will say that whether or not your rig is accepted at an RV Park will depend entirely on the park. It will also depend on how many animals of any kind are in the rig.
    Your life will be tougher because of what you own and you may be turned away when you arrive even though you have a reservation. What would be your backup plan if turned away from an area you planned to stay in for a week or two during high season.

    I don't know the answer but I would say it's 50/50. It's hard to say it's looks like a horse trailer then the awning and side entrance door says it's not. Love to see what others have to say.
    Do you have any pics of interior?

    Interesting question.

    My short answer is not a problem.

    I think almost every park would be concerned about the condition of your RV, not its construction. You might find the rare park where the owner or manager is so short sided they can't think beyond a conventionally constructed RV. You might get the legitimate question about your having horses with you, however. Once that issue is solved, I think a problem would be rare.
