Are there any Caravan Age restrictions in UK and Europe Campsites and Storage?

Just about to buy a 2013 Bailey Unicorn and surprised to hear from a storage provider that they dont accept vans over 10 years old.
Bit of a panic. Is this going to be a problem at campsites?

    Try other storage places. No problem on Club campsites, our caravan dates back to 1984, and it’s not unusual to see vans in use much older. We have never encountered an age of van restriction when staying on any kind of site. We store at home. Did the storage place say why they had an age restriction?

    There no restrictions on club sites as a few years ago we used to take 1991 Castleton and no problems with that and it was in club site storage as well, sounds like you are looking at a private storage provider, and there will not be any problems on sites in France as we live here and have seen many older caravans than yours even 1970's and upwards have been seen on sites here.

    Hope this helps.

    What a bizarre rule! Most of us have heard unpleasant stores about certain static sites which insist that vans are removed after they are a certain age (often not even very old vans), but I have never heard of any touring sites which don't allow older vans or M/Hs. I have never stored a van or M/H so don't know much about storage sites, but I have been reading CT for 12 years and have never seen any comments about sites not allowing older vans being stored.
