In this litigious society we live in I doubt ANY park owner will knowingly 'look the other way' on a legally required safety issue. Sure you might get past a few parks management but the registration form always asks for the make of the RV so 'none' might stick out.
Again, the post in question. It was stated that: "in every jurisdictions I've ever looked at, the RVIA or CSA Z-240 endorsement is required by law in order to stay in a campground in an RV."
Please, enough of the regulations (NFPA, NEC, etc.) Unless those codes are incorporated into State law (yes, many states, including CA, have done that, but I don't know of any that state that an RV park or campground can not rent a space to a unit that doesn't have the sticker), they are unenforceable by regular law enforcement personnel.
"Legally speaking, knowingly renting a campsite with electrical service to someone in an illegal RV and a fire resulting would likely mean the person renting was at least partly culpable. " So, that means that it may be ill-advised to rent to such a unit, but that does not mean it is illegal.
Give us the applicable state or provincial law that requires a campground owner to check for an RVIA or CSA Z-240 sticker before renting a space, or admit that there actually is no such law, and, while it may be ill-advised, it is not illegal to rent to a non-RVIA on non-CSA Z-240 unit.
