I have been wondering for a while why certain RV "resorts" do not allow pop up campers, hybrids, or even travel trailers below a certain length. Are we non-motorcoach folks somehow second-class campers? I have a very nice 2010 Jayco 1206 PUP, one of the largest popups made, and I keep it and my campsite very neat, clean and presentable. I like some of the amenities that some of these "no popups allowed" RV resorts offer, but alas I cannot take advantage of them unless I consider upgrading to a larger trailer/motorhome.
Is there any way to appeal to these 'exclusive' resorts to let me in? Or is it a "not by the hair on my chinny chin chin" situation?  -------------------- Brian ('71), Amy ('74), and Cathryn ('04)

Are you sure you want to go to "resorts" like that? A great quote: "I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member." - -- Groucho Marx We have yet to encounter an "exclusive" resort. The closest thing I've seen so far is part of one campground's rules, where they state that a camper should be clean and neat -- and that wasn't really enforced all that much. I think private campgrounds should be able to make pretty much whatever rules they want. We just don't stay at the ones that we don't like. One of our favorite campgrounds, by far, is rather rustic, small, and isn't loaded with on site stuff to do. But we have a great time there every year. -------------------- 2008 F-250 5.4L CrewCab
