Wise thinking, Gary
No one is dragging anyone into the street and stoning them to death for thinking differently. We are explaining the reality of having a gaudy painted RV. Think of it this way. How would you like it if your stick and brick house painted their house psychedelic colors? Or what if they let it go and it turned into a trash heap? Being a good neighbor means fitting in with your neighbors and not doing something that would upset the entire neighborhood.1275gtsport said:I really can not believe that in 2014 we are still dragging people out into the street and stoning them to death for being a witch because they think differently.
You hit on two great points.SeilerBird said:We are explaining the reality of having a gaudy painted RV. Think of it this way.

It is really a bummer to travel hundreds of miles to an RV park and then be turned down because the owner of the park did not approve of your RV .
Yes you are right, however you are talking about million dollar motorhomes. He who has the gold makes the rules unfortunately. But the bottom line is that the people who own the RV park have every right to deny access to anyone they want so long as they are not being prejudicial. By painting it wildly you are setting yourself up to be rejected. Personally I think the RV looks great, but I would not want it next door to me where I would have to look at it every day.skyking4ar2 said:Seriously? Wild colors? Too loud? Have you ever been where there's a Prevost or Wanderlodge rally? Wanna talk about over the top?

And I'll park on the other side to block the view for those stick-in-the-muds. I can totally see that first paint job parked at a beach park with the sun setting behind it (or rising if you're on the other coast). Spectacular.
Santee Lakes RV Park in San Diego is not an urban rumor. They have someone who goes outside with a checklist and looks your rig over. They rejected mine since it was too old. I have been turned down at other RV parks but I don't remember their names.DearMissMermaid said:Where are the campgrounds that are so fantastically wealthy they can turn away business on a whim?
I am going to start photographing the fun painted rigs I run into.
I'm beginning to think this is some kind of urban rumor.
