My experience was that it was all about looks. Of all the places I was refused, it was the ones who considered themselves upscale. This was a normal travel trailer, but old. 1987. They pulled the 10 year old rule on me because it looked old. Only because of color scheme. The normal 80s tan with brown and red stripe.
To be fair, they all warned me when I made reservations. One manager came out and looked at my rig, saw it was very well maintained, and allowed me in. He explained that their 10 year old rule was for preventing run down looking rigs, and the possibility of an old rig causing fire. Ok.
Either way, if the van looks good, it'll probably be allowed.
Here's a practical option. If you don't need hookups, you can rent a tent site and just not set up a tent. Doubt anyone would care or notice.
