General RV Park Question..

I’ve only ever run into it at private parks and usually in bigger cities. We had a 2003 so we were at the 15 year point before we sold it. Only time it happened to us, they took a look at the trailer (condition as mentioned above) and it was no issue.

"Cousin Eddie" is a perfect.

The ten year rule usually gets invoked to prevent Cousin Eddie from setting up headquarters in a rusted out Class C with blue tarps on the roof and his entire extended family.

If you aren't Cousin Eddie, you won't have a problem.

Last September, the Youtube channel Long Long Honeymoon did a Video where they had been told their Airstream trailer was too old (over the phone), but they were flat told there were no exceptions. 8 minute video.

One time on this forum I made a post and referred to "Camping". A person replied and said "we dont camp, we RV". Wherever that person is is where these rules are ;-) Really only the "uppity" RV parks in certain locations like Florida Keys and such. Only time I have been somewhere that even came close to a rule like that was strictly for seasonal full time sites and it was a 15 year rule. Even then the owner told me they make exceptions all the time, its just to avoid someone letting an old camper rot into the ground.

Some parks do have "no old rigs" rules. Thank goodness, none of them yet have a rule that says "no dirty trailers" or "no trailers with weird funky looking modifications." When that happens, I will be in trouble. ;)

That's what I was basically doing working for a Gov contractor at Military bases.

As a construction worker traveling alone I was ask this about the ten year rule more than once.As soon as they saw my rig I was welcomed.They saw me as maybe a rough neck until further checking and was going to use that rule to reject me.My rig was under ten years old and really well maintained.Usually after staying a period of time and work was on down the road and I was checking out they most always welcomed me back.I have seen many parks that needed the rule very badly.I wish I could tell you about some places I would move out of the first break in my work schedule.In about twenty years of be there miles from home at seven tomorrow AM.No one wants trash around them.Been stuck in some bad deals a time or two.Pull in at night,be on job at seven AM next day,then work ten to sixteen hours per day for a few months.Thats when you wished they had the ten year rule.(my rant)To use it to reject some junkers.

Good Day.
We've been out of RVing for about 5yrs now and are thinking about getting back into it to get out and spend some time with family in the OR and maybe down to the AZ desert.

My question is, do most Parks still have rules about not allowing rigs over 10yrs old to stay at their parks??

I've personally never had this issue, so would take exception to the statement about "most Parks".

However, as you were in fact an RVer before and it sounds like this happened to you at most of the Parks that you wanted to stay at, I'd suggest it will probably be the same today for you at those same type of places.
