X2. The dealers should be embarrassed by some of the junk they display at RV shows.

Or just call it truth in advertising...

I love your sense of pride and you are teaching your children a very valuable lesson. Being humble and spending time with family.

Two weeks ago we had reservations on the coast, my wife likes the beachfront, no reservation sites but all she could get was ocean view with full hook ups. What we call in the high rent district. We had the MoHo washed and waxed just before we left on the trip and it is 16 years old but well tended. Several folks, including the guy on our left commented on what a great looking rig. His rig still had the temporary registration in the window, it was their first trip ever.

Made the DW and me very proud.

2002 Excursion and 2007 Cherokee in Cody WY at Buffalo Bill reservoir. haven't been to a 10 year rule campground yet, but don't think ide have a problem if I did!

I ran into a camp ground with a 15 year rule. As stated it was to keep the trashy looking TTs out. They did ask when we made reservation. We told them my brother-in-law's 96 class A was "mint". They never questioned when we arrived.

For some places it is about how they look, not the age.

IMHO For ALL CG's, It IS ALL ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK! :B

Same here, when I was full time I had an older Class C MH that I kept impeccably clean and looked mint. Was never turned away from a 10-yr rule CG. :C

I love the idea of keeping your equipment for a long time. They do become a part of the memories. We keep our vehicles 10-15 years, but I haven't done that with a camper yet. Maybe the next one is "the one".

Your rig looks fantastic!

I can't recall anyone ever asking me how old my trailer was. It's 31 years old this year and I camp all over with it. Resto mods are a real thing these days. I believe some of these places will have to change their policies if they want to attract customers.

My 04 is washed and waxed and kept in covered storage and is better built then the new units I looked at the RV show.
