rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I wondered if anyone had FW rules for personal carts? I'm certain that I've seen specific guidelines somewhere about what was acceptable & what wasn't but can't find it anywhere now and thought it might be a good thing to have posted somewhere.I wouldn't even have thought of it except that DH was planning to install a rear seat before our halloween trip but, due to his recent open heart surgery & restrictions on lifting, that may not happen in time now. Do you think I could sit the two DDs in the cargo bed which has sides and a tailgate or is that a FW no-no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Here is a link to the Fort Fiends "Golf Cart Page!"As far as what's "really" allowed, when we were there I didn't seen them keeping anyone from driving whatever whenever they wanted. We saw jacked up carts, gators, gem cars you name it. ymmv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 THanks Rita. I guess in a pinch we could take the cargo bed off. I know he'll be taking some tools along anyway even if he's not supposed to use them. :popo: LOL it wouldn't be camping if we didn't need to use some sort of tool during the trip... :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We saw jacked up carts, gators, gem cars you name it. ymmvI think that has changed as well. I haven't seen a "non" golf cart since Tuesday. There have been jacked/customized "golf carts" but no gators, modified utility carts etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 We've just got a standard electric ezgo - just has a cargo bed on the back instead of a seat. Not that different than a flip flop rear seat folded out. I don't consider it a utility cart, especially with the sparkle paint and flames but wonder if FW would... we sold the cart in the pic earlier this month before we knew DH would need open heart surgery and be unable to finish his on schedule...

LONE-STAR 370 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Rules have always been there must be a seat for each person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob34787 4 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 was there over the weekend, the only rule was chaos , atv, utility vehicles, motorcycles, if it had wheels it was there and security said nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingpixi 11 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Rules have always been there must be a seat for each person.Thats how it was in june and they tried to enforce it with little success Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 was there over the weekend, the only rule was chaos , atv, utility vehicles, motorcycles, if it had wheels it was there and security said nothing.Totally ridiculious. We were there in May on the 800 loop and a father and his son had thier ATV's out behind the sites making a make shift track. Everytime the poo poo came they hid then came back. it will never change Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that different than a flip flop rear seat folded out.I think they'd still likely consider that a golf cart, especially since it's electric."Utility vehicle" is more the mules and atv-type vehicles - stuff that tends to be bigger, higher and/or louder.

Lou... 3,118 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 But you know that even though all those other vehicles are breaking the golf cart rules, that you'll be the one that they'll enforce the rules on and revoke your golf cart privileges.The problem is that the rules state that all passengers must have a seatThat's ok, I've got you covered. I have 2 stadium seats that we can jury rig onto the cargo bed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Lou to the rescue!!:superhero: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I wish they would put in the rules that mules,and rangers would be ok. Then I could buy a ranger. People bring them anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Some of the gas driven ones are rather annoying, especially at night or early morning. Most aren't designed to run as quiet as a gas golf cart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 We have large car seats for our special needs kids. We have strapped them on the flipped rear seat for years with no problem. Sounds like Lou's stadium seats just might work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Great idea! Thanks Lou. We sure could rig some stadium seats in there if neccessary. I'm hoping that in the 6 weeks between now & our trip, DH'll be feeling much better and we can get a flip-flop seat installed. After the past two years we've had though, I'm starting to anticipate & make alternate plans more than I ever did before... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikeymouse1 25 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 My seat goes with me everywhere I go at least that's what my mom always said when she told me "if I don't straighten up she would dust my seat for me" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
