Three ways to stay at a motorcoach resort
If you just bought your first coach, you probably know the first one. Almost nobody tells you about the third.
Rent for the season
Stay a month, or a whole winter, in one spot. You get to know the neighbors and the town without buying anything.
Ask each resort about monthly and seasonal stays
Plan a seasonOwn your lot
Buy your own site inside the resort. It's real estate, like a small second home for your coach. Come back every year, leave your patio set up, and sell it later if your plans change.

So what do you actually own?
A motorcoach lot is a small piece of land inside a gated resort, built for one coach. Yours.
- 1A coach pad. A paved, level pad sized for a big coach.
- 2Your own hookups. Power, water and sewer at your site.
- 3Outdoor living. A patio, fire pit or outdoor kitchen, finished your way.
- 4A casita, at some resorts. A small building for guests, laundry or storage. 15 of the 89 list casitas or homes.
- 5The land itself. On a deeded lot, everything inside the line is yours.
It's real estate
Most resorts sell deeded lots. You hold the title and can sell it or pass it on. A few sell memberships or leases instead, so always ask which one it is.
You pay monthly dues
Dues usually cover the gate, grounds, clubhouse and pools, and often water, sewer and trash. Electricity is usually billed by what you use.
The resort has rules
Most set a minimum coach length. Some take Class A coaches only, and some have an age limit for the coach. We show the rules we know.
You might rent it out
Many resorts let owners rent their lot when they're away, which can help with dues. Not all do. Ask before you buy.

Ready-made routes
Car directions only. This map uses Google Maps, which plans roads for cars. It does not use your coach's height, weight or length, so a road shown here may not fit your coach. Use it to choose resorts and see rough distances, then drive with your RV GPS set to your coach.

Sygic Truck & Caravan: tap the file on your phone and choose Sygic. The file carries your stops; your GPS picks the roads using the coach size set in it, so check the route on the GPS before you drive.

Plain answers
Questions first-timers are afraid to ask
No sales talk. If we don't know something, we say so and tell you who to ask.
Is this a timeshare?
No. On a deeded lot you own the land itself, all year, the way you own a house. You can sell it or leave it to your kids. Some resorts sell memberships or long leases instead of deeds. Those can be fine, but they are a different thing, so ask which one you're buying.
What does a lot cost?
It depends on the resort, the lot and what is built on it, and most resorts don't publish prices. That's why this site compares monthly dues, which we can check, and sends you to the resort for current lot prices.
What do the monthly dues pay for?
Usually the gate, the grounds, the clubhouse and the pools. Often water, sewer and trash too. Power is usually billed separately. Ask the resort for its budget and how much it keeps in reserve for big repairs.
Will they let my coach in?
Each resort sets its own rules. Many want a minimum length, some take only Class A coaches, and some set an age limit. Where the resort has told us its rules, you'll see them on each resort's card.
Can I rent my lot out when I'm gone?
At many resorts, yes, and it can help cover your dues. Some resorts don't allow it or run all the bookings themselves. Get the rental rules in writing before you buy.
How do I know if a resort is right for me?
Stay there first. Rent a site for a week in the season you'd actually use it. Drive your coach in and out of the lot you like, and go to a happy hour. Photos can't tell you if the neighbors feel like your people. See resorts you can try by the night.
Will the route planner keep my coach away from low bridges?
Not yet. The planner picks the resorts and the order, and its miles are rough guesses. Plan the actual drive with an RV GPS set to your coach's height, length and weight.
