RV Parks with a 10 year limitation - is this for real?

[hodapper]

In your experiences with this type of RV Park, on average how many parks actually enforce the 10 year age limit? Is it just to discourage the "trashed" campers and RV's from renting?

In my travels I’ve seen this restriction on literature but clearly not enforced everywhere

KOA Jacksonville two years ago

Typically a park may ask you to send pictures of an old coach if they have a 10-year rule, and as long as the coach is maintained and not falling apart, it is not a problem. I have never heard of anyone being turned down because of the rule.

As stated above they normally ask for pics before approving the reservation. Just to keep out the old poorly maintained ones.

I've been flatly turned down twice, "15-year rule." One was for an overnight site at a park in Nowhere, Tenn. and at at a somewhat dumpy park at Clarksville, Ind. that actually had a photo showing the same year and model of my RV on their website. Both parks are gone now.

Never been turned down yet. We try to stay at State or Federal parks most of the time, but have not been turned down at any privately owned parks.

Unless you REALLY know your motorhomes, it's extremely difficult to tell if it's a 2014 or 2018. What's to prevent someone from calling their 2009 motorhome a 2013?

The registration?

The registration?

I mean visually. We've never had our registration checked. They might ask for plate #

I've never been asked for mine either, but have given it thought. To your question, I would not try to misrepresent the age for fear they'll ask to see the registration.
