Can you talk more about this, how can they evict folks whose park models are old ? or shabby ? This seems like it would pretty stressful and could even be arbitrary.
Sorry I kind of missed this part of your post. RV resorts are different than most real estate environments. They are built, disigned, and regulated to be transient residences. Ever go to a resteraunt or bar and see the sign about reserving the right not to serve... Kind of the same thing. RV parks go through a lifecycle. They are new and shiny and attract new and shiny RV's. Then folks tend to stick around, the park management teams tends to get complacent. The park starts to look a little shabby. The park can no longer compete for top dollar rates, draws down income, less money for renovations. Clientele tends to get less affluent. Junkers start to show up. Junl collects around older units.
To counter this trend the RV park adopts rules and standards, very much like Home Owners Associations. I don't have the specifics for this park on what their "standards" are for the fixed park models. I do know that other residents that I have spoken with have received letters of compliance, requiring that they do specific things, like repair screen porches, paint steps and porches, remove rubish, etc. These folks own the park model setting, but pay a fee for the lot it's setting on. The fee includes the amenities the park manages.
As for the rule on the 10 year old RV. The expected lifecycle of a travel trailer is 10 years. By the time they are 10 years old they are pretty much junk. The fiberglass has broken down, the decals have cracked, the appliances fail. These things are not built to last. The average travel trailer owner will only have theirs for 5 years. The expensive Class A (bus like RV;s) fair better. I have not owned one so don't know the details, but I see older Class A rigs that still look good.
And of course there are 10-15 and 20 year old travel trailers that are in excellent condition. And there are revovated antique RV's. So this usually brings up the second half of the cannot exceed 10 year rule, the exception clause. "No RV's older than 10 years. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. Submit a photo (sometimes many photo's) of the RV and breif description of it's maintenance history."
I have no idea about the legalities of these policies. And of course a lot of it depends on where you are. RV parks are regulated by their cities, counties, and states. The more dense the population the stranger the rules get.
It's all an effort to provide a "nice" place for folks to visit and/or live. I have been in some really run down places. I only pulled out of one RV park, it was in TX. Old park, 90% of the units I could see where on blocks with blue tarps. 20-25' travel trailer with 4 kids playing in the yards. Many vehicles with the engine hoods up, wheels off.
The flip side is the park in Las Vegas that only accepts the more expensive Class A RV's. Another in Washington that required you email them a picture of your RV (even if it was only a few years old) along with an application requiring you have "references".
I live in a very strange world.
We found a few very nice places, but they all had flaws.
