A "Grande" Entrance

Oct 28 - Nov 11/15  Weather is constant everyday in the extended forecast - 85 to 90, lows in the high 60's.   You can count on humidity as well.   It's Florida, basically a spit of sand surrounded by water. 

Pretty "grande" clubhouse as you enter the park

We decided to spend a couple of weeks at a nearby motor coach resort called Florida Grande Motorcoach Resort.   Yes, that means only motor homes, usually no older than 10 to 15 years, class A only and no fifth wheels or trailers.   The 2 good things are; it will be lovely and we are first time visitors on a special package of paying for 1 week and staying an extra week for free.   This is a ownership park where you can purchase the lot and have a suite built on your lot.   The suite will typically have a bathroom, washer dryer, living area with sofa bed, small galley kitchen.  

RV concrete double lot and the suite

We often wonder "how does a motor coach resort end up out here, in the boonies?"  It is in Webster and there is not much around the town for 15 miles except for cows and a weekly huge flea market.   Not even a grocery store.   The bad thing is that motor coach resorts never let us keep our trailer on the site.  Apparently the lot owners feel it is not attractive.  Once we were in a MC resort and they let us on our site with the trailer but a couple days later (after a few owners complained) they came and moved it to the storage area. 

Bluebird Wanderlodge next to us

There is a Rally of Bluebird Wanderlodges in the resort and the coaches are a luxurious unit, built by the Bluebird Corporation which is the 4th largest bus company in North America.  Yes you see the yellow school buses everyday..... majority are Bluebirds.  The motorhome makes use of the school bus chassis and an all-steel body, which was intended for daily stop-and-go driving.  Most are pre 2009, not very many slides, 40 to 43 feet long.   They ride so smooth and look so good going down the road.
