Frequently Asked Questions
MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores is a popular RV destination for many reasons. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get at MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores.
What are the motorcoach requirements at Motorcoach Resort Lake Erie Shores?
Our Owner’s Association defined Class A in the traditional sense as motor homes and converted buses with a flat front (not a truck, van or semi-front end). Class A motorcoaches must be a minimum of 28 feet in length and be no older than ten years of age, if older photos must be sent for approval to management.
Our Owner’s Association defined Super Cs as motor homes and converted buses with a truck or semi front end. Super Cs must be at least 36’ on length and must have a cohesive / matching paint scheme throughout the coach’s length. All Super Cs must send photos for approval before or at the time of booking!
We understand the appeal of other types of coaches and trailers, but we don’t have a provision to host those units as either a guest or owners.

RV Lot Ownership FAQs
What are the benefits of MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores ownership?
Owning a lot at MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores allows you to enjoy the resort year-round, taking advantage of summer sports, fall foliage, winter snow activities, and spring blossoms. As an owner, you’ll have the freedom to visit as you wish, knowing your preferred lot and amenities will be waiting for you. You’ll build long-lasting friendships with fellow owners and eagerly anticipate your return to the community. Additionally, you have the option to place your property in a rental pool, generating income to help offset annual costs if desired.
Will the resort help buyers of lots with layout and design?
MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores will utilize talented designers to put into place the best ideas of each new lot owner as they design the interiors. Customization will be fun with such a flexible platform to work with. Building out the bungalow and lot all at once will be a good opportunity for a perfect indoor/outdoor balance.
Do buyers have to decide everything about lot design prior to the start of construction?
The general layout of the lot including brick paver pad color, the bungalow location and exterior finish will need to be determined so the shell can be built. Beyond this the unit can remain unfinished on the interior until final plans for layout can be accomplished. Basic landscaping will be required at the time the bungalow is constructed.
Will the new lots be open in the shoulder and off season to enjoy?
All of the lots at MotorCoach Resort Lake Erie Shores have been and will continue to be open all year for enjoyment. Both with and without coaches, there are residents who enjoy their lots every month of the year. Bungalows offer additional conditioned space that often leads to additional visits by lot owners.
