Hi. Thanks for taking the time.
I'm new to this forum, new to the idea of "RV-ing", and have a very general question regarding RV campgrounds.
My "RV" is (going to be) my 2006 Chrysler Town and Country mini-van. It's a standard mini-van with no modifications. It's in great shape and not at all an eyesore.
My plan is to sleep in the van, cook on a portable grill, and spend a good part of next summer (2019) driving around the west coast hitting minor league baseball games. In the past I would have had no issue doing some standard "van camping" at state or federal parks but I now am a CPAP user and need a reliable electrical power source. Thus, I was thinking that RV campgrounds that offer 20amp service would be a great solution.
So, in doing some research I have noticed that some RV campsites state that they don't allow "homemade" bus or van conversions. I'm guessing that the vehicles being referred to are those that have had the roofs cut off and a spray-painted plywood box calked and bondo'd to the top and are driven/owned by folks that look much like their vehicle.
This _would not at all_ be the case with me. I am clean, organized, respectful, quiet, and would leave anywhere I stay in as good if not better condition than when I arrived. As stated above my van is in great shape and my stays would be 1 night (2 at the most if there were multiple baseball stadiums in the area.)
I guess my question is this: can anyone offer any insight as to if RV campgrounds in general frown upon or just not allow the type of use that I am looking for?
My goal here is to try and figure this out before I start spending a bunch of money on gear and time planning towns/routes/campgrounds only to find out that I'll be turned away once I arrive.
Thanks in advance for any info that you guys care to share with me.
