In WA, State Parks haven’t cared if I parked my Truck Camper or not in Tent areas. In those areas, tent just means no rv pad and no improvement for RVs. However, Yellowstone explicitly calls my rig an RV. That means no camping at Tent spots according to the guys on the reservations, and also means no driving on roads that don’t allow RVs if my Truck Camper is on.
BTW, I’ve been down a few of the roads in Yellowstone when I took off my Truck Camper. I can’t imagine a problem driving them with the Truck Camper. I think it’s just simpler to so no which I’m ok with.
Sure, it’s kind of arbitrary, but those are the rules as far as I can tell. There are also explicit hard side camper areas in Yellowstone if Fishing Bridge is open.
Once upon a time, I think the intent was to separate the quiet tent campers from the RVs, but as noted, that isn’t very real any more. There are just as many loud tent campers as loud RV campers.
