Long Class A rigs with Trailers - Where do they stay?

A few weeks ago I was passed by a caravan of very high end Class A units all towing matching enclosed trailers. It occurred to me that I have seen very few units like that in the various RV parks I have stayed at. As a matter of fact, there have been very few RV parks or even resorts I have stayed at that could have handled these big units and their trailers.

Are the owners of these units just frequenting a small number of RV resorts that can handle their size? Where do the owners of these extra-big rigs find places to park when they travel?

  • As noted, likely associated with NASCAR or racing in general. We were at Tom Johnson's RV in Concord, NC three weeks ago trading coaches (was there for 6 days) and saw a number of those rigs coming and going as there was a big NHRA drag race event going on. Some were in the RV park next to Tom Johnson's and others were parked in a huge lot next to the Zmax race track.

  • We are at a KOA in Nashville and there are a number of sites here that accommodate those ~ there are some here now. There are a few parks we have been at across the country that can handle them. Some parks will take your trailer and store it somewhere on the property, but not in your site. Many parks will ask if you are towing a car or a trailer, etc. Many will have some option for you.
  • They might stay at race tracks since what you described are just what the NASCAR drivers have....
