The 10 year rule is a nice way to say that a park doesn't want to take the chance on getting a "Hotel California" rig in. You know, one that can check in but never leave.

Having an age limit is better for both sides if a park is highly restrictive. It gives the park an easy out in rejecting a rig they do not want on the property, and it allows the rig's owner to avoid an embarassing situation that might also create a lot of hardship of they were not allowed into the park and there was not any other space available nearby.
We do not have an age limit, but we have had the need to refuse a rig. Usually they are homebuilt and we can say we only allow rigs manufactured under RVIA standards due to safety issues, but we have had rigs with unacceptable advertising and graphics, rigs that had obvious safety and sanitation concerns and rigs that quite honestly look like they were rejected by the Beverly Hillbillies. If you have a clean, well maintained rig you will get into 99.9% of all parks without any problems or questions.
