RV's Age Is Not the Problem
by: Coleen, the RVing editor

No. The age of the recreational vehicle should have little (or nothing) to do with your ability to find a job.

We have a poll on the website asking our readers if they have ever been turned down for a job because of the age of their RV. As I write this, only about 10 percent indicated they had been.

It is usually the condition of the RV, not the age, which can be a detrimental factor. Another big negative is having stuff piled on top of the RV, or hanging off the front or back of it. I think campground owners find it easier and more politically correct to say they don't allow older RVs than to say they don't allow those that are eyesores.

There are a few RV parks that do set and enforce RV age restrictions. It seems most folks with older RVs would prefer not to work in those places because of a clash in values.

We started full-timing in a 25 year old, 18 foot travel trailer. It was never a negative factor in our finding work.

Enjoy your new (older) rig! Some of those older recreational vehicles have great construction and are real gems.

If you'd like, you here's the link to the poll.
