When we were young, we allowed one and it came in complete with horses. We don't have equine facilities and we got an earful of how if we allow horse trailers then should have pastures. OK, lesson learned, ask about horses.
Very next horse trailer we asked, told no problem, no horses. Trouble was, trailer was full of horse deposits that stank to high heaven which was only appreciated by the 1,000,000 flies that traveled with them. "Neigh"bors (pun intended) quickly complained to both the trailer owner and then the office. Unfortunately, they complained to the owners before the office, so the owners took it upon themselves to clean said trailer by washing the horse apples, horse hair, and horse bedding straw out of the trailer and onto the site lawn. At this time I realized I had violated one of my core operating values: never get bitten by the same dog twice. So now, no horse trailers, ever.
I've always thought -- You own the park, you make the rules. If you don't like the rules, go to a different park.
Thank you for the story on horse trailers. I think it's really interesting on how some rules came to be, because without the story, I'd wonder what's the deal with banning horse trailers. Now I know.
