Has Anyone ever been turned away for Length Restriction?

So in theory, as an owner of the lot, you could be forced to upgrade your unit to keep your lot someday. That would stress me out :)

Chainwright, I had the same thoughts go through my head about LVMR. When I put pencil to paper the numbers just didn't make sense for us. We started going there when Monaco Corp. owned it back 2007 (Outdoor Resorts), then Monaco went bankrupt... yadda, yadda, you know the story.

We had friends that bought two lots there and put them together. It was nice and their lots sold quickly when they decided not to 'RV' anymore.

For what we pay in rental fees for 2-3 times a year, it was a lot cheaper and no worries once we left.

How can you tell they were "cleaned off?"

I suppose there is a place for everyone, but not for me! If I have a campsite that has an electric cord and I can reach it without punching holes in the side of my camper by low hanging tree branches, I'm good. I could never enjoy such a place as this.

Funny and true story: We tried selling our house in Carmel, Indiana. After the For Sale By Owner failed, we started searching out realtors. We "interviewed" realtors before settling on one. But one we met with basically told us, our house was not prestigious enough for him to even list it. If we didn't make "X,Y,Z" changes he wouldn't even take us as a client. When searching his web site, his clientele had million dollar houses, and he only successfully closed the deal on 2 or 3 a year. We went with a down-home, middle average, no frills common ordinary realtor.... that did finally get the house sold.

Point made? There's a place for everyone!

You are right, there is a place for everyone and we've been there! We've stayed at KOA's that are pretty rustic. We like everything, that's what makes life fun!

And, I do love the upscale resorts! In Indio, CA, there is the Motorcoach Resort that has a fantastic restaurant with a full glass wall of windows looking at a beautiful mountain backdrop. It's not cheap at nearly $200 a night but a fun splurge. We actually know one of the bartenders and she's fantastic (a good friend).

In a 'destination' place, like I mentioned (Las Vegas), I enjoy all of the amenities, Pool, exercise room, etc. We also like the Mom and Pop RV parks along the way.

We meet so many nice people.

MM, I like that resort too (LVM) I was going to buy a pad their but the DW reasoned that if we're only going to be there 2 months a yr and travelling to other CG's the rest of the yr why spend the 100K for the pad and the 4800 for "HOA" fees, oh yeah and the 1600 in property taxes (per yr).

So in Indiana YOU have to seek out a Realtor? In Texas it's the agent that calls you non-stop to get your business, basically wanting to be your Agent. I listed my last house on a website and picked the "for sale by owner" option and even wrote that I didn't want to be contacted by real estate Agents; Well good luck with that, my phone rang off the hook w/nothing but realtors wanting to sell my house, until I sold it.

Well, this thread is going off the rails nicely.

Definitely heading for the ditch! We spend 4 to 5 months in a park that excludes Truck Campers, tent trailers, class Bs and any motorhome or trailer less than 28 ft. I know of one case for sure where they allowed a shorter pull behind trailer for one or two seasons, but eventually excluded him and he had to buy a larger rig. They also have a 10 year old limit, but only apply it if the rig is unsightly.

Not judging, but there is definitely 2 sides to the issue
