So called luxury motor home resorts in many cases are owned by the residents. They have deeded site restrictions and by-laws to contend with. Some folks are not there all the time and place their lots out for rental but the rules stay the same. At Pelican Lake in Naples an owner brought a $600,000 class C coach onto his lot and a law suit was instigated by the board to have him remove this non-compliant coach. The question turned into the exact definition of what is a class A coach and he lost in court. The park is restricted to bus style Class A coaches and that is that. As a former owner there I can say that the economy has pulled in some of the past snobbishness and folks are getting along again but there was a time when not having a Prevost definately put you into a lower class resident category. Clicks started forming and the general athmosphere became unfriendly. The condo-commandos had taken over and we left in 2004 afer being there for 6 years. Lots are still being offered near to 1/2 million dollars as they are at Blue Water in the Keys but there have also been lots of fire sales in the low 6 figure category. Many high flyers are no longer flying as they used to. Still, there will never be a Class C RV in that park. Basically it's against the law.
