I have been lucky, I guess, I have never encountered such an RV park. But then, I only go to places that identify themselves as a "campground" or "RV park". If it says it is a "resort" or "gated community", I figure they aren't my kind of people. I try to stay with the sirloin steak, baked potato, and Budweiser crowd, and avoid the Filet Mignon, caviar, and champagne bunch.
Well, not quite. They are still bound by non discrimination laws and this is the real reason for the age limit. They cannot legally pick and choose individuals for preemptory refusal. This could be construed or actually used to discriminate on the basis of Race, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Disability etc. But what they can do is say...everything over TEN years. This is non-discriminatory and applies to all equally. So instead of considering each vehicle on it's own merits (which opens the door to discrimination towards it's occupants) they have to have a general rule like age of the vehicle.
It seems to me that if your TT or motorhome is somewhat modern looking, just lie to them and tell them its 9 years old. I bet they dont know the difference.
So, telling a LIE is preferable to just going on down the road?
No, sorry, I just can't see it that way!
The park owner made the rule. I will be glad to assist them in enforcing THEIR rule! THEY don't want rigs older than 10 years, that is fine, I will not ask them to break the rule that THEY made! I do not CARE why they made the rule, nor do I care what their criteria is for ignoring the rule. The fact that they have it is all that matters to me. I will happily take my 14 year old coach and 15 year old truck and 10 year old ATVs and my old money elsewhere!
