additional vehicles etc.)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.
My Renegade was custom built as a combination horse trailer and LQ. I was never denied access to any campground because I had horses. I researched my cg's carefully to make sure they would accept them. Some horse trailer owners are slobs - no question about it. My Sundowner never saw a horse - it was custom made for us - triple axle - strictly living quarters. I pulled it with a Mack COE.
Since you had to research Campgrounds carefully to be sure you would be accepted is a clear signal we are not alone in not allowing them. Curiosity compels me to ask why you would have a custom built horse trailer with living quarters if never use it for a horse. I sure hope it isn't a case of parsing the English language when you say it has never seen a horse because it is constantly full of Mules, Llamas, Ostriches, Camels or Unicorns. Unfortunately, your situation sounds like one where your good business is going to fall into the cracks of our rules. You can't win them all, with few exceptions.
Over the past 25 yrs, I've converted several horse trailers to living quarters only - removing the horse stalls and putting in a second head and making it more comfortable. It's low profile, steel frame and aluminun skin. R20 on the walls and ceiling - all pipes have heat tapes, all tanks insulated too. No a/c unit, just fans. No microwave, just a toaster oven.
