Age Restrictions on Class A's

I've never had a motorhome that wasn't less than 10 years old, and with stays at hundreds of parks, I've never been turned away. I only recall even being asked the age of my RV once, and that was just because the check-in clerk's sister had one just like it and he wondered if they were they same year. That being said, I have stayed in parks for a couple of weeks where they were much fussier about the rig age of long term renters, such as seasonal or year-rounders. I think most parks just use the rule to turn away RV's in poor condition.

It's the RV park version of "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

If you keep it clean and good looking you won't have a problem. When my rig gets to be 10 years old it magically stops ageing. ;)

Yep, my rig is always 8 years old.

Our much loved coach is 44 this year. We have never been turned away personally, but a chapter of our group was told that they could not rally at an "RV Resort"

When we stayed at the West KOA in Glacier National Park they automatically asked us what year it was (and they could not see any of the rigs from the desk). When I asked why, they said they had a 10 year maximum rule. That's the only time I ever heard that, but I'm a vacationer so I'm pretty limited on experience.

I have never been asked. If/When I am asked, I will turn around and leave. IMO, any campground that is so concerned about their "image" is not the kind of place I want to stay. It is quite likely too uppity and high class for this old "jackpine savage"!

Williston Crossing in Williston Florida asked us how old our rig was because they have a 10 year rule. Since our rig was 16 years old at the time we had to send them pictures via email before they would accept our reservation. If SIL did not live in Williston, we would have went elsewhere.

Yes, they were uppity. Not a very welcoming place. The people next to us were from New England and they got the same impression we did. Most of the park seemed to be seasonal or permanent residents and they did not care for any of us "transients". Of course, they were glad to take our money.
