I've just purchased a 1990 Class A Bounder. When I tried to make reservations in a couple of parks (Las Vegas and Flagstaff) I was informed that my RV is too old. I'm sure the owners of the parks ha...

The reason for the 10 year rule is more of a legal wording reason. As already said what those RV parks are doing is not trying to keep out older motorhomes, they are trying to keep out the people who would cause problems in an RV park. You can't have an RV park policy that says, "No bums allowed" or "No dirty junk heaps of a motorhome allowed" or "No trailer trash allowed." It's so much more politically correct to say no rigs over 10 years old allowed. So then when the 60's school bus conversion full of hippies shows up, they can say sorry, rules don't allow rigs over 10 years old. When a 20 year old Bounder shows up and the manager has a chance to look it and see you're not a van load of hippies, then they can waive the rule and let you in.
I remember years ago when I was much younger I went to a night club with friends and was told I couldn't come in with my leather jacket on. It was a nice dress type leather jackets and I had to go put it back in the car. The point wasn't that they didn't want leather jackets in the bar, it was that they didn't want bikers in the bar. Instead of saying no bikers allowed, they had a policy that said no denim and leather allowed and that kept the bikers out.
