Are semi-truck conversions welcome in RV parks?

Ok thanks folks. I am sure it will be the only custom RV in the park worth 700K with 600K miles on it. I will check out the escapees next.

Go to the Escapees forum and then to the HDT conversation, everything you want to know about this subject is there.

Some ( ours for example) have restrictions on types of RVs but they might accept you if yours looks as good as you say (on the outside). But be prepared, just in case some park says no.

Marble counter-tops, ceramic tile floor 12.5 Kw genny and 3 A/C's. So then if the RV park like the way it looks I am good? I thought that anyone would take my money regardless of what I was parking there, but I haven't yet been to too many RV parks.

If it is neat and clean appearing, not covered with advertising graphics, not appearing to be a fire or safety hazard and would not draw disdain from other guests, it will probably be fine. Our policy is we do not allow any rig other than an actual RV that was built to RVIA standards. This allows us to keep out hippie vans, old dilapidated skoolies, box trucks with sleeping bags tossed in the back etc. If it is as you describe, no problem.

In 6 years we've not been denied access to any RV park either due to size or type of truck. Some RV "streets" are poorly laid out which can get challenging with extra length. With a singled big truck and 37' 5th wheel, we are just about 65 feet long. We always call ahead to inform them of our overall length.

We have not had a problem yet, I have however read about a few Snooty campgrounds that only allow A's.......who wants to go there anyway....LOL

Are you talking just using the tractor to pull a 5ver or large TT? Or are you going to customize the trailer portion to a RV. I have seen lots of tractors, generally they don't take up any more room than a big dually or long base P.U. My first advice is don't let it set and idle, that gets folks dander up quick. Most parks I have been to, don't care about the hauler as long as they have the room.

Semper Fi! Thank you for your service. We have seen many semi truck RV conversions in RV parks across the country. As long as it looks nice, you won't have to worry.
A few upscale big rig RV Resorts do restrict certain types of RV's and RV's of certain ages. I would stay away from them.

Sure, as long as they have a site long enough for you, and your truck doesn't look like something from a junkyard.

I've seen all kinds of things in my travels, but the "Quartzsite specials" are not what you see in most RV parks.
