trimster Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Even after calling twice and telling them I was driving an HDT tow vehicle, and getting the "that's fine", when we pulled in it was a different story. One of the desk help came charging out the door to meet us at the check-in parking. "We don't allow semis in the park." Asking why the several phone calls, someone said "that's not a problem, we have long sites." His response was again... "no semi-trucks." Istata is first come basis. Fortunately, we were able to get a spot at Enchanted Trails RV park, with a phone call, west of Albq., off 40. Just for the record, the KOA in the southeast of Albq. is $158/night. So that is not going to happen for us. This 'no large tow vehicle' ban might be more prevalent on reservations. We've never tried to stay at a reservation park before. Never had a problem in private parks.

Tulecreeper Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 When most people hear the term "heavy duty tow vehicle", they immediately think of 2500 and 3500 series pickups in the 3/4 to 1-ton range, possibly a dually. I know I would. You have to tell them exactly what you're driving or you're going to run into this issue again.
