Frequently Asked Questions

All qualifying motorhomes must be Class A or Super C with a minimum length of 34 feet. Approval of Super C coaches will require online submission of photos to help us determine if they blend in with the Class A coaches (height, width, wheel size, etc.). Approval of all coaches older than 12 years will also require online submission of photos to help us determine if they are still in excellent condition. If you are required to submit photos, we will quickly review those and let you know if you are approved (normally within a few hours after submission).

All lots have unique features and views, and there are three rental price tiers. Please refer to the lot descriptions and photos to see which site best matches your needs.
