How old is too old for an RV?
Hubby was wanting to buy a 10-year old RV with low miles, but upon glancing at other posts I saw someone mention that RV parks will not allow someone with an older vehicle to stay. How old is too old...
Forum Discussion
I have yet to meet the CG owner/operator that can tell the year of every make and model of RV by looking at it. They have two valid concerns.
Is this old beater going to make my CG its final resting place? Will they just remove the license plates and drive off in the Toad or Tow Vehicle, never to return?
Does it look so bad that folks on forums like this one will talk about the "wrecks" at my CG?
So,
When you stop at the office and they have a "10 year rule", lie. If they look out the window (that's why they have them) and you get caught, they don't take away your next birthday. You just don't get to stay. Move on down the road.
And if you have an Airstream, you're golden. They haven't changed their looks in 40 years. They're classics.
One exception: If you're looking to make a reservation for a week to ten days over the phone, tell the truth. If they won't take you, call another CG.
