My parks are RVs only. Know many other park owners who operate the same way. We don't allow schoolies or homebuilts and we don't allow semis even though they have sleepers. A boat being used as an RV is something else that would not be allowed.
So, I'm guessing my old vintage Bluebird or my Sundowner LQ horse trailers wouldn't be allowed? I've seen a few in the KOA's in MT - so I'm guessing you don't own one of those campgrounds.
If the Bluebird was a Wanderlodge RV, not a school bus and isn't shedding parts as it drives the roads, almost assuredly not a problem. We do not allow horse trailers, Sundowner LQ or not.
Somewhere close to 90 percent of our guests make reservations prior to arrival. Part of the reservation process is obtaining information regarding the RV (type, size, make and model, year, tow vehicle, additional vehicles etc.). If we don't recognize the make and model, we look it up. If it turns out to be something other than a professionally manufactured RV we stop the reservation at that point. Nobody thinks they have a place to stay and are surprised at the last minute that they are being turned away.
Those schoolbuses you so dislike are built by the same people that built the Wanderlodge - Blue Bird in Ft Valley, GA.
My newer Sundowner cost more than the Wanderlodge and the two schoolbusses I converted to LQ's.
I just delivered the last rv we owned, from MT to the new owner in AK. A brand new one costs over $350k - but you wouldn't allow it either. www.renegaderv.com/renegade-xl-high-end-motorhomes-2019 The XL45QB
So I guess you'll have to keep turning them away - the KOA's will gladly take them.
Don't understand your post. The Renegade is a professionally built Super C. It isn't a horse trailer, it isn't a homebuilt schoolie conversion. If the same company builds horse trailers, so what? Many companies build both recreational vehicles and other items. Coleman campers are made by the same company that makes Rubbermaid. We allow people to camp in Coleman Campers but would never allow someone to camp in a Rubbermaid Trash can. In the case of Renegade we allow the Super Cs and not the horse trailers.
As an FYI, the horse trailer rule came about from experience. 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.
