I am sure somebody would be interested in campgrounds that turn away older rigs, maybe even vintage rigs (does the vintage people keep a list?) How about posting which RV park or campground threatens or turns them away?
I guess that is one more division within the RVing/camping peoples. My mother offered me her big motor home after my DH and I drove it on vacation with her to AZ. I told her to sell it, I would never again drive anything that big. I love driving my 1992 converted conversion van almost as much as driving my 1992 Miata. Maybe because we live in a big city we have more tolerance if not outright appreciation of diversity and individual differences. I am not nor have ever been an aficionado of HOA practices. None of our homes are cookie cutter, they are older from 1880's to 1950. I dont want to offend anyone, but when I enter these newly built condos or McMansions all shiny new I feel no warmth, no charm, no individuality, no history. The same is true of the new big rigs.
I have been to many RV parks/campgrounds. Some of them are obviously destinations for people from appreciate HOA and are loaded with "activities" and "facilities". I may want to O/N at one on my way to someplace else, but not stay. I have driven in and right out of numerous "sardine" parks where the big rigs are sandwiched together but only twice in and out of a RV/CG with derelict rigs, and those were seedy in other ways.
I expect that RV/CG people in general are pretty independent, diverse and different. They certainly have been unfailingly kind, helpful and friendly ... no matter what their rig looked like or how old it was.
