Buses and RV Parks?

[Scoundrel]

Hey y'all,

MY wife and I are converting a short bus to live in full time.  But, after making a few calls, it seems a number of RV parks don't allow buses.  Has anyone had this kind of trouble?

There are RV parks with restrictions. Avoid *resorts*

Some RV parks will advertise restrictions but don't necessarily enforce them. It's a ruse that gives them the ability to turn people away if their rigs are not maintained.

If I were to call and ask I wouldn't mention my vehicle type. Just ask about restrictions in general.

There's plenty of places with no restrictions. Shouldn't be a problem

Ok thanks.

It's really only the privately owned or chain RV resorts that make all kinds of rules up.

They do that because a majority of their clientele are long term stay residents - seasonal or even annual and they want to try to limit the 'trashy neighbor' thing.

The state, county and national parks don't get fussy like that..they just limit the amount of time you can stay in each of them.

I've only ever had trouble at one county park system and that was because I didn't want to stay in their park that had full hook-ups (and pay for same) and they wouldn't let me stay in their 'tent' park because I wasn't going to pitch a tent and sleep in it.

Well, my wife and I still have kids in school. So we kinda need an address to call home in our district. This may force us to change our vehicle.

Yeah, that changes the situation a whole lot.

You're probably going to want either a travel trailer, fifth wheel or a Class A.

Seriously, if you're not going to be on the road full-time, I'd look at either the TT or the 5r.

Check out what age restrictions are in place for the parks around you before you go buying something....a lot of parks won't accept something that is older than say 10 years or whatever limit they set. No point in buying something and then finding that you're still not welcome.

It's basically the HOA thing only in an RV park.  My opinion is the same on both.

I can see why they wouldn't want an eyesore in their park. But to just say no buses seems extreme to me.

I'm new to RV slang. What is a TT and 5r?

TT = travel trailer, or sometimes tent trailer
5r = ? 5th wheel.  Needs a pickup or a medium/heavy duty truck for the very large ones.
