Class 'A' ?

I recently, 8months ago, sold my Class A 42' MH. After 11 years I thought I might get out of the RVing fun. My wife and I came to miss going places and taking our pets and being with our friends who still have their rigs. So, we got back in the fun. We didn't want a HUGE one anymore so we looked around and found that what suited our purpose. An Itaska class 'A" sprinter 25 footer. Now we are ready to go with our friends and have some fun and play some golf see the sights. OPPS, we can't go with them as our MH Class 'A' isn't big enough. I have to be 30 foot Class 'A'. to go with them. I have an income that allows me to do and go where and when I want, except to the resort places I use to go. The small class A MHs are now discriminated because we are not long enough. So no getting together with our friends for morning breakfast, or evening drinks or daytime golf or meals with relatives and friends, because we have to drive anywhere from 3 to 15 miles to be with them. Sorry if this is a post already covered, but I had to put my 2 cents in. I would still like to be part or our old group. Been with them for over 9 years. :(

  • Have you spoken with the management of the resort? You have nothing to lose by asking if they will waive the requirement for you, a returning customer.

    We were at a resort last year that excluded class Bs by policy, but I saw at least one there anyway.
  • They are well within their rights to do it but frankly I wouldn't want to camp with people like that. Stupid rule.

    Some people actually feel superior because they have a "class A" and the rest of the RV world are second class citizens. Apparently yours isn't big enough so they lump you in with the rest of the peasants.

    Pretty sad.
  • Private park- they own it- they cater to who they want. They are 100% within their rights. Free market. They will change rules if attendence goes down. Abviously there are enough RV owners that fit their requirements.
  • Thanks for all the support. If you look up RV resorts (high end) there are quite a few with the same rules. Must be 30 ft and less than 11 years old. Snutty I think so. But if you are under 30 ft and less than 11 years old you must not can afford us so don't ask.
  • Put a couple of trailer hitch platforms on front and back, and then measure. 2 1/2 feet on each end should make it. Always good for bikes and gas grills. Of course you need one on each end for balance (and for the extra length).
  • So you have a Itasca Reyo? I think those are kinda neat.

    Don't remember being at a place where smaller class A units were not allowed.
  • Just buy the place, fire everyone, then run it like you want to.
  • I don't understand the rules, but they are what they are. Since the CG's do not charge by the foot (like marinas do for boats) you would think they would be OK with a smaller rig (less energy consumption for starters). However, in your case it appears you have three options, get a 30', convince your friends to move to another CG or make new friends. You are always welcome to stop by for a social with us, but it's currently a long cold trip to the N.E. Good luck.

  • Just tell them you're 30'...who measures..:h....with the toad, you'll be at least that....sort of an 'honest' mistake....:B.....it's a shame to spend $100,000 on a coach only to be thrown to the peasants.....Dennis
