Though you didn't say it, I assume you are looking for a long term stay. The questions about age and condition of an RV only comes up in those types of situations. It just isn't part of the normal reservation process for overnight and short term stays.
Many RV parks and campgrounds are not interested in becoming trailer parks. They are not interested in having their guests become full time residents and bringing all the problems and concerns that come with that business.
Age restrictions are put into place to prevent a park from accepting rigs that look like props from "The Grapes of Wrath". They also discourage those people who are looking for a place to live, not a place for recreation. That may be detrimental to your goals, but it isn't necessarily detrimental to the goals of the park.
