Imagine how frustrating it would be to not be able to enter your favorite campground because of the age of your RV. This is a very likely scenario, which may surprise you. While vintage RVs are becoming increasingly popular, some campgrounds refuse to accept them. Several high-end campgrounds refuse to accept RVs because of their age alone, regardless of how well maintained or in good condition they are.
Most RV parks enforce the ten-year rule on their websites, but drivinvibin.com reports it is enforced in Florida and Arizona most frequently, although some campgrounds enforce it nationwide. It may be the case that camps are not as strict as they claim to be even though they claim to enforce the rule. Drivinibin states:
“Almost every RV park that implements the 10 year rule also allows exceptions for it. In our experience (owning in vintage RVs for 5 years), we’ve never been turned away. Most often RV parks will ask for a picture of your RV. They will either allow or deny based on the picture.”
88 percent of RVers disagreed with the rule, according to a survey conducted by the website. Park owners use the rule to get rid of RVs that are in poor condition and unattended, but RV owners say there is no foolproof way to eliminate them. Eighty-two percent of RVers who responded to the same survey about the 10-year rule admitted that park owners may deny entry if the RV does not meet the park’s requirements.
