A month after we bought our brand new 2016 Retro, we stopped at "Lah-de-dah RV Resort" in Yuma. While I was talking to the pleasant lady in the office, and she was getting us checked in, her phone rang. She answered and this is what transpired:
Lady: "Hello, "Lah-de-dah RV Resort. Oh? You don't say. Well, hold on a minute."
To me: "Sir, what year is your trailer?"
Me: "2016. It is one month old."
Lady to phone: "It's OK; it's one of those Retros."
She checked us in and we had a nice stay, but I'm pretty sure if our trailer had looked as new as it does and I told her it was a 1972 model, she would have sent us packing.
I do understand why they have such a rule. These days, a landlord has the deck stacked against him. Unless he has some kind of published policy about who can and cannot stay in the park and enforces it, it is nearly impossible to evict a deadbeat. The landlord may even be charged with discrimination if Cousin Eddie gets in and is then "threatened" with eviction for failure to pay rent.
