If we don't want your rig in our park, we will turn it away for one reason or another. RVIA certification does mean that it was built by a company that supposedly knew how to wire the electrical circuits, the plumbing etc. The reasoning behind only allowing RVIA is a safety issue, a concern for our facilities and quite honestly, an easy way to turn away schoolies, hippie mobiles and rent-a-wreck vans driven by Buffalo Bob wannabes. But if you insist in trying to circumvent those motivations by a sticker, I will easily come up with another way, up to and including, "sorry, your rig does not meet our standards, and we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason".If the RVIA sticker is indeed the major hang up, have one made and stick it on.

Haha
And he probably wonders why some people would rather overnight at WM or rest stops..
To be fair, they all warned me when I made reservations. One manager came out and looked at my rig, saw it was very well maintained, and allowed me in. He explained that their 10 year old rule was for preventing run down looking rigs, and the possibility of an old rig causing fire. Ok.
Either way, if the van looks good, it'll probably be allowed.
Here's a practical option. If you don't need hookups, you can rent a tent site and just not set up a tent. Doubt anyone would care or notice.
In this litigious society we live in I doubt ANY park owner will knowingly 'look the other way' on a legally required safety issue. Sure you might get past a few parks management but the registration form always asks for the make of the RV so 'none' might stick out.

Well, when you first pull in, the tent campers will give you the Stink Eye....LOL! Two years ago, we toured the Pacific NW in an old pop-up truck camper that had been stripped of most of its systems - all it needed was electric, and we were capable of living without that, if need be. As we called ahead for a campsite, I would ask if they would let us into a tent site; or many parks have a half-way site with electric only. In many cases, we'd be let into the tent sites provided we didn't run a generator (we also didn't have A/C) - the idea being that tent campers expect a quiet environment. We had some pretty nice sites! And when the tenters realized we'd be quiet neighbors, they warmed up :-)
Our new van will be a silent creature, too - so we'll try to utilize these rustic sites when possible, and leave the full H/Us for the true RVs.

I do not ever recall being asked the make of our RV.
Size and type, yes, make, never!

So I get it. Our van will always be "pretty"; and inspections would be welcomed. If we get turned down (I'm beginning to think this won't happen) there's always another park down the street.

I get very suspicious when someone says "required by law", then doesn't give the law they are referencing. I would think they would know the appropriate statute for their own state, at least.
Can anybody give the statute? How about it, RV park owners, suirely if there is such a law you would be aware of it, chapter and verse!

Google something like "RV campground registration form", I just did, far from scientific but the first 10 on the list, including several companies that print 'stock' business forms for campgrounds to purchase. They all asked the make of vehicle.
