I have an odd question... Has anyone ever had their rig decorated/lettered; maybe even sponsored...and then had issues getting into campgrounds?
We're doing a brain injury awareness & grace cross country tour starting in July. I've had a few companies express interest in sponsoring our ministry, and so I was looking into putting their logos on our rig (which I had already planned to have decorated with vinyl butterflies/flowers with our web site, too). Someone told me that campgrounds wouldn't let such a rig in. Any experience/thoughts about this? Or know where I could get more information/do research on this?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, I have read in some CG rules that they do not allow any advertising or even Co. names on vehicles/RV's. Personally I think it a good idea. I'd rather not see billboard advertising or have anybody's agenda placarded - it would just detract from the experience IMO.

Also, you have to be careful of crossing the fine line with a "commercial" vehicle and the ensuing rules and regulations. There have been documented cases where an RVer had a commercial wrap on his RV and the DOT considered it to be in commercial service. Just think it through very well, before putting yourself out on a limb. Also, question your insurance carrier about their take on "advertising" on your vehicle.

Yes, I see what you mean...
But what if we didn't do the sponsorships, and just had the tour name on our rig---we're promoting brain injury, not selling anything. Do you think folks would take issue with that?

I wouldn't but I don't know about some of the more Snooty "resorts" out there.
I once woke up to find a huge red double decker bus parked next to us in a CG. They had no markings but it had a large number of very foreign sounding folks on board and each seemed to have a sleeping birth. I would have loved of have found out more about them but they left before I could talk to them.

Scott, here is a link to what you saw and a lot of info about the tours. We have met several of the drivers and hostess, plus had a tour of the "RV"...
