10 Year Rule

["EZ"]

I think this is THE MOST favorite topic on every RV forum in America. The people with older RV's LOVE to rant and rave about the 10 year rule. There are THOUSANDS of posts about this everywhere you look. Truth is, very seldom does it even come up when booking a campsite in most campgrounds. I have a 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador. It's 17 years old now. NOT ONCE has anybody ever asked me the age of my RV when booking a campsite. And NOT ONCE has anybody ever asked me the age of my RV when I show up to their campground. As long as your RV looks good I doubt anyone will bother you about it either. People just love to cry and moan about the unjustices we face in life. It's a rich vs. poor mentality. Class warfare. Our Government uses it all the time to keep us too busy to notice how badly they are running the country. Don't fall for it and don't deny yourself the pleasure of owning an RV simply because your budget is smaller and you need to buy an older unit. Keep it looking good and you'll be welcomed in 99% of the campgrounds in America. If you get turned down somewhere it's probably somewhere you wouldn't enjoy anyway. Have fun and good luck!!

I booked a reservation in CO, it may be Breckenridge where I had to give them my RV details as they have that rule. I need to know about the 20 year rule now that the RV market tanked.

Boondock only or state / national parks. Have not used private ones last 15 years. IMHO the lifestyle advantage is freedom and away from crowds.

Ten year rule I think is incurred more at the posh $100/night and above resorts with tons of fancy amenities, like golf course, multiple restaurants and bar onsite, in luxurious locations. Never ran into it at the $60/night and below places.
