Over the years, I've heard of the 10-year rule of some private campgrounds, but never seen it for myself (my motorhome is now seven years old).
I've heard that some campgrounds employ this rule to keep out eyesore "Cousin Eddie" recreational vehicles as seen in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. There may be more to it than that.
RV Travel says this rule is rare, but with the boom in RV sales, they also say "stay tuned".
They begin an article on this with:
The “10-Year Rule” in the camping business is something that experienced RVers love to debate but likely have seldom, if ever, experienced in their own travels.
Rules that ban RVs with more than 10 or 15 years of “experience” are the Bigfoot of camping. You likely haven’t run into a park that enforces those rules, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there.
Most RVers assume the reason for the 10-Year Rule at any park has to do with a big dose of snobbery. Park owners assume those folks in the brand-new $500,000 rig won’t want to rub shoulders with the common folks rolling in with their “vintage” Winnebagos and Shasta trailers.
