I've found that it really doesn't matter what the rig is, versus the neighbors, especially during festivals. It is similar to cars and people who judge people solely on what they drive.
However, the 10 year is pretty real. Here in central TX, virtually all RV parks have it in print, usually with a clause saying, "10 years or newer, or with management approval". I've yet to be asked for the VIN of my rig, but I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Plus, it doesn't really lose business -- the spot will end up being occupied by a new fifth wheel anyway, especially come busy weekends.
The only real exception I see to this are Airstream trailers. If they are in any roadable shape, they will always get a spot at a CG, regardless of vintage, from what I've seen.
The 10 year rule is why I'm looking to buy new. In some areas of the US, it isn't enforced, while others, a 2002 model year rig gets shown the road without a second glance, as "rules are rules."
