Ray,IN Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I like the verbage stating " can be as long as 45 feet and can weigh as much as 10 tons!" Wonder where they found one that light? A 45' Foretravel weighs 56,000# or more. Shoot, my 40' MH weighs 31,000#. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 So I wonder if they would let the 40'Showhauler pulling the Stacker garage behind it in? And I wouldn't be allowed in either..... overweight and the "coach is a '98 model!

Darkhorse Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Showhaulers are considered Class C. One show I was watching on these resorts would not let a lowly Class C such as a showhauler into their resort. 2006 Peterbilt 387 -2013 Dutchmen Voltage 3950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulltimer51 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I get the feeling the article is more poking fun at those who can afford it. I have worked in a couple of those kind of resorts. Not much different than any other, really. The people, like any where are all different and you cant tell who is and who isn't in any % bracket. The nicest seem to have the most, however. Guess they can afford it. George2011 F350 6.7PSD CC 4X4 DRW Lariate2015 Mobile Suites 41 RSSB4 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulltimer51 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I think it depends on the resort. The one in Polson, MT was MH only. One in Port Aransas, TX was open to MH and trailers.

docj Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think it depends on the resort. The one in Polson, MT was MH only. One in Port Aransas, TX was open to MH and trailers. With all due respect, that park in Port Aransas is an attractive "ownership" park but it's not in the same league as the kind of parks being discussed in this article. Heck, it doesn't even have a security gate to keep the riff-raff out! We stayed a month at Crystal Lake in Naples FL our first winter as full-timers. Haven't spent that much for a month since then. The RV sites (as distinct from the park model sites) were largely populated by Prevosts and the primary occupation of the residents appeared to be collecting as many "toys" as possible to show off to their neighbors. Not our kind of environment and haven't been interested in trying any other similar parks.

oscarvan Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 In all seriousness, does anyone know of a guide to "nicer" (not necessarily this pretentious) parks?

reed and elaine Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 As noted above, a lot of luxury (and not so luxury) parks will not permit TTs and 5th wheelers in. They must maintain their standards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 In all seriousness, does anyone know of a guide to "nicer" (not necessarily this pretentious) parks? How nice? Luxury MH resorts or Better big rig resorts ? Most of the time we are away from the MH, sightseeing, visiting, shopping, etc., so a luxury MH resort is not on our list of places to park. If we were to stay put all winter (4 month or more) a luxury MH resort might be appealing. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.
