Whatever the ethics of this approach, there are risks, especially if your RV shows signs that it is 10 years old or older. You can arrive at check-in, and the RV park may ask you to see your papers. You can make an effort to find accommodation for that night and may lose deposits or booking fees depending on the policies of the RV park. If you`ve taken good care of your RV, it may not show as much age. You may be able to stick to the 10-year rule by providing photos of your beautiful old platform. RV park owners don`t want to see faded or flaking stickers, dents in the siding or delamination. I haven`t heard of it yet and have found a new CG for $5 more, with 6-8 visits per year @ $5.00 or $40. Buck is a small price set up for my DTV antenna @ $3K system. In the list of options. While the previous advice may be a bit of a gray area in morale, some RVers simply subtract a few years from the actual age of their platform. He celebrates his 9.5th birthday as if by magic. However, some RV parks have opted for this method and are now asking for RV registration. RVs who want to try workamping will be surprised that the rule can also apply to them.
Park owners often indicate what type of RV they would like their working traffic light to have. This scenario surprises many. Is it wise to exclude working ampers based on the age of their craft? I worked in a park that had a pretty soft 10-year rule, but I also let questionable campers into the park if they only stayed one or two nights. Management would reject the same campers if they decided to book for a week or more. Keep in mind that public campgrounds like county, state, and national parks don`t have age-restriction rules for RVs. You may have heard of the RV park`s 10-year rule, which can naturally bother older RV owners. There are many beautiful older RVs on the road. Heck, we have friends with an RV in very good condition that is almost 25 years old. And our own 17-year-old platform is (if we say it ourselves) in excellent condition. So many opinions. Let me comment on a few of them.
The station where I am does not allow to go back and has a rule of 10 years. Our property is zoned by the city for Class A and Super C only. We were almost punished when a city employee received a 5. Wheel saw in our station and reported it So sometimes it`s not the owner`s fault. At the time of writing, we have a 1997 BlueBird at the station. It looks practically brand new. Last week, a Prévost in perfect condition, almost as old. Our booking staff is required to request front, side and rear photos if a platform is more than ten years old. (We sent people marketing photos or photos from the day they bought it many years ago. We`d rather not have these people in the park anyway). When we receive the photos, we often find that the platforms are in excellent condition. We will call you back and make the reservation.
If up-to-date images are not sent out upon request, we`re pretty sure the owners know exactly what condition their platform is in. When I make reservations, I will always ask if they have an age restriction or check the parking rules, The only time I had a problem was with the Napa Valley Expo RV park, which arrived in the late afternoon and the service host informed me that we could not stay because of the age of our campervan. When I pointed out that there was no such rule in the rules, he published the rules instead and after he found no age restrictions, he changed his story to be told not to let old RVs in. I was asked to speak to his supervisor and refused that I would not leave the park unless he called the police and they asked me to leave. We went to a parked parking lot and an hour later he came and informed me that he would let me spend the night and it would be sorted out the next day. He also told her that it could cost her job if he allowed me to stay. In the end, I stayed three nights and was never here by him or any of the staff during that stay. Personally, I try to avoid parks that have stupid rules like 10 years or RVIA. I have a self-converted school bus. And I have higher standards than the RVIA. I can usually find another accommodation.
