We want to buy a MH and really are leaning towards older ones too cost wise,but have come across one place we were thinking of going saying they have a 12 yr   restriction but to send them photo
How commen is this,,we were looking into long term stay. We live in Canada by the way

We've run across this quite a bit in nicer parks. Most of the time they seem to allow the stay if the photos show the rig to be in good shape and well kept. They just don't want rigs with blue tarps keeping the rain out!

Yes i have been reading  such comments from others tonight. We were looking into a rv near us and sent them a picture of it it is  a 89 and they said it looked fine,i just hated to have to buy a newer one because of this,but yet didnt want to limit places to stay either.

We have a 92 Beaver and have never been turned away from a CG that we have wanted to stay at. I have heard that some of the "high end" CGs will not allow older RVs, but we never stay there anyway.  There's lots of other parks that are willing to take our money.

Like CKerr said, if it looks nice, you shouldn't have any problems.

In our almost 5 years of traveling we have now stayed in 290 campgrounds and we have been asked the age of our rig maybe 12 times. It's really not an issue. That's not to say that some snooty, motorhome only, "resorts" don't have strict age rules, but we couldn't, and wouldn't if we could, stay at these discriminatory places. As others have said, most campgrounds are more interested in the condition of the rigs, rather than their age. Enjoy your older rig,

Thats a relief to hear,thanks for all your replies,i was a tad concerned about  this matter.
