All of the above things are really nice and wonderful, but you really need a Park Manager that will manage and make people adhere to the rules of the park.
If the title to the thread is accurate, he will be seeking long term tenants. If that is the case, enforcement of many "campground" type rules will become a moot point. Long term stays will fall under tenant/landlord laws and not innkeeper laws. Rules like quiet hours, site keeping requirements, guest rules, many pet rules, occupancy limits etc. will all be unenforceable and void. You won't be able to just tell someone to get up and leave, you will have to go through the eviction process. Most states group long term RVs into the same category as mobile homes and an eviction under those laws is much more stringent than an eviction from a rented home or apartment (the theory being it is easier to pack up your belongings and go elsewhere than it is to move your doublewide, the fact that the RV is ready to go is not generally considered. This is because in most states the number of people who live in an RV is miniscule compared to the number who live in mobile homes, so the law basically ignores the differences.)
Hopefully, the OP has thoroughly researched both the law and the practical aspects of having a park of long term tenants. Personally, I wouldn't touch such a business with a twenty nine and a half foot pole unless it was located in a destination mecca and I could be reasonably assured I would only be getting snow birds or sun birds. The gra-pes of Wrath types need not apply.
