Disbelief of and resentment against all sorts of regulations and requirements is rampant.
In several threads about homemade or conversion campers, including one very recently, people react strongly at the mere mention of ‘fine print’ regulations. Comments like “The LPG Police or the AC current Gestapo? Maybe the RVIA certification label which is a joke and not required to begin with?” appear very quickly.
I really think it’s just a case of anger against anything or anyone that dares to say you can’t do whatever you please.
Hey, that was my post and I stand by it. Frankly I think your claim that you have witnessed 12 people being tossed out or refused entrance to RV parks or Campgrounds, because they home-built a camper, altered the propane system, or anything else, to be a large load of BS. But that is just my personal opinion. It has/had nothing to do with anger against anyone or anything that dares say you can't do something.
LOL, so it was.
Just because you've never run across it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
As an example
THIS is a link to the Port Canaveral Jetty Park Campground website. This is one of the places where my friend was refused a site. If you scroll to the bottom of the page there's a link to the rules which says "24.4 No RV campsite can be retained without a camping unit (camper with RVIA sticker) placed on the site.".
As I've said many times before, it doesn't mean anyone will catch on or even ask, but more & more the "What kind of RV do you have?" section of the registration forms are going to being enforced and scrutinized.
Google something like "RVIA sticker required" and you'll come across all sorts of threads about people with van conversions, cargo trailer conversions and bus (school and others) conversions being denied entry to both private and public parks on the basis that the units do not demonstrate compliance with life safety standards.
