• Senior RVers visit Mesa, Arizona, for the region's year round sunny weather and dozens of RV park communities catering to retired people. Although many of these communities designate their parks as "55 and over," according to Arizona's Fair Housing Act, only 80 percent of the sites must be occupied by this age group. The other 20 percent can be allotted to younger RVers without putting the park's seniors-only housing designation at risk.
