Bus age and campground restrictions.

One thing to perhaps keep in mind. An 89 Prevost looks pretty much exactly the same as a 2000 model. It wasn't till the XL2 models came 2001 that the body style changed significantly. The people at the resorts won't know a 1999 from 1989.

I think if you look back at older threads, you may find a story (if I remember correctly) from Dale, where they were going to an RV park, and incorrectly calculated the 10 year mark when telling the office people the age of their coach. They ended up having their "eleven" year old coach being inspected, which as mentioned was nothing more than a "peak out the window"

Good memory Ray, that was quite a while back, maybe a year and a half.

I have upgraded to a 1999 coach this year so we don't have any trouble this winter.

Wow. Dale, that is the exact same upgrade we made. An even trade at that!!

Larry,

I think the Jeep is in violation of his own park at LH and the 10 year rule!

We here at the KOA don't have such rules, but I do understand places that do. In the Virginia Beach area, getting long term stays can be difficult because all the CGs don't want their places to look like trailer parks. I have seen some pretty dumpy looking RVs, and my manager would like to have nice looking newer RVs here. We've even had other guests comment on another guest about their RVs appearance.

Of course the age of a coach can only be used as a yard stick, and not an absolute. My coach is one of the oldest here, (maybe THE oldest?(this CG and this forum)) and when I mention she's 25, people can't believe it. But of course it IS a Prevost.

I have learned that my 2004 Marathon H3 is more than welcome no matter the age wherever we go, and that includes the best highest rated spots advertised on PS. Nobody except other owners can figure out the age anyway.
