Vegasmailman Report post Posted November 25, 2017 Has anyone had problems on being accepted at a campground due to age (rv in good shape) . I ran across a older 1999 DP, and might entertain the idea if I can get some feedback on people experiences and observations. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted November 25, 2017 Many Campgrounds and/or RV Resorts have this rule. Ours does, but once you buy a lot with a less than 10 year old RV, you are grandfathered in as long as maintained in like new condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted November 25, 2017 The way most CG's interpret this is "we have the right to refuse RV's over 10 years old". I like the rule, though all but one of our motorhomes were over 10 years old. As most interpret it, it is there keep derelicts out. We have NEVER been turned down once they see our coach.

elkhartjim Report post Posted November 25, 2017 My thought has always been, if it looks good how do they know the age of the coach? Can anyone of us tell the difference in a 2005, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 15 Fleetwood Discovery just by looking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted November 25, 2017 I have never had a problem with my 2003. Like Brett said, they use it to keep out the really bad ones. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted November 25, 2017 If it comes to that. I haven't run into any problems. I have heard of campgrounds asking for a picture when making a reservation. If they do can I send them a picture of your coach? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted November 25, 2017 Just tell them its a 2008. Next year it will magically become a 2009. I still do this with my 1988 Prevost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be headed for the door. There are to many places to deal with places like that. I would also be doing my reviews in RV Park reviews. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted November 26, 2017 Ross lives in Anderson, IN. Don't know if that's a stick & bricks or a RV resort with casita. I'm with Brett, Bill & Jim on this one! Have never been turned away from a Resort ! Florida State Park, yes...I had a 15 pound dog! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztec7fan Report post Posted November 26, 2017 Never had a problem yet. Have a 1989 Southwind with faded graphics which we've owned for 9 years and have yet to be turned away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted November 26, 2017 Vegasmailman. If you like the 1999 DP, buy it and stay away, from Anderson, IN. We went thru there in July and saw nothing special to indicate a "snobbish Resort"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted November 26, 2017 I can tell you that that "resort" is not a place I want to spend any money. If you want to check my VIN you will only get a good look at my tail pipe as I head down the road. I have seen similar requirements in other exclusive "Class A only" resorts but most are also selling lots to RVers willing to pay the ongoing costs and I have no use for that type of RVing either. I did it once an bought a lot at The Great Outdoors in Titusville, FL back in the 90's. What a terrible mistake but at least I got out of it with a profit before the whole market crashed.

bounder94 Report post Posted November 26, 2017 We like the BLM the best. Works for us, at least when in "Q". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted November 26, 2017 bounder, I am with you, there is so much dry camping available in Arizona. Quartzsite is just the beginning, go over the mountain to the Bouse area and think back about "Q" look at the mountains and think ATV trails toward Quartzsite. My goodness there is so much to see and the history in just those mtns is amazing. Then north and east is Alamo Lake, a BLM flood control project that is one of Arizona's best bass fishing lakes. It drains 5000 square miles from Prescott south and protects the Bill Williams Wildlife refuge, Parker and Lake Havasu. Last year with all the rain in Dec and January the wild flowers were amazing. We were parked in a sea of yellow with more humming birds than I have ever experienced. Again the ATV trails around were extensive and the history...incredible. We are going back again this year for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are they going to do, weigh it! ---------------------------- With the old 2008 and in the 8+ years of traveling I was only asked 1 time how old it was when making reservations. Had it been ten years old I would have said goodby when making the reservations and found another campground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jleamont Report post Posted December 5, 2017 Twice I have been asked, both times they hesitated, I offered to email a photo, photo emailed and to date have not been turned down. I am all for it and I can understand why they do it. The more experienced we get with this lifestyle the more I get it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a 2000 DP and when we go to AZ the resort ask for Pic's when reserving online. The reply is welcome looks good. Just don't think DW or I would want to stay somewhere we weren't welcome.
