We hope we can help you work through this message that pops up in RED on our website.
Problem:  "Your equipment type is not compatible with these sites. Change your site details to try again. Or call (970) 565-9301 for more help."
Possible Reasons: 
1.  Your RV is too long for the sites we have available and will not fit.
2.  You are towing a vehicle and your total length is too long to fit in the site.  
3.  The type of RV equipment you have will not fit in the sites that we have available for the type of site you selected.  Try another type of site. Ex: 30 AMP Back In --> 30 AMP Pull Through
** Please remember that you will not want to minimize the size or equipment that you will be bringing just to get a site.  This situation may result in you being in a site that could be too small for comfortable camping. We want you to be a happy camper.
