If a park gets bad marks on the review sites, it will suffer much more than the cost of turning away a "vintage" Airstream. Read the bad reviews. A top three reason is for bad reviews is "the park is full of junky rigs". Keeping a park looking good is imperative if you want good reviews. We don't have a problem with derelict rigs (most likely because our prices and the fact we do not allow long term stays weed them out to begin with), so we don't need that policy, but I can sure understand why other parks do.
I haven't been turned away yet but I almost wish I was so it would be fun to sometimes ask things back. Like how old are your hookups? How old are your shower heads? How old is that huge rut and bump and I have to drive over? How old is the stained coffee pot in your fancy lounge? :)
And now with the pricey Airstream vans and others or beautiful old mint/restored rigs, why would a business turn those away?
I kind of wish all the people in these posts that vaguely mention places that had the age rule would post the name of the place. I could make some notes in my notebook.
