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.
