I was BSing with a campground manager about the age issue and unloading TCs in the camp ground. He had a nice campground, very clean, competitive in pricing and an easy fellow to talk to . It was family owned.
On the 10 year rule, he said you could not imagine the problems it solves. He said said it allowed them to screen the RVs to insure their campground did not look like a dump. He said over the years they have turned away just about every imaginable piece of garbage on wheels you could imagine. I ask if he turns away restored old RVs. He said no, he had no reason to think they were older than ten years old, so he did not ask. He said an unsightly rule would allow for more arguments.
I ask what California law prevented TCs from being removed from the truck at the campground. I said he did not know of any such law. He said there was a State Safety rule against removing the TC. I don't remember the State Agency. He said it is also in the insurance policy of his campground. He said he thinks the Safety rule was made back in the day when flimsy three jack systems were used. He said he personally was uncomfortable TCs off the trucks due to the potential of them falling in such a congested area, especially with lots of kids.
EDIT: Found some info on removing TC from truck. Appears there is a law.
