I'm hoping that the current craze for RV ownership and thus the crowded California campgrounds are just temporary effects of the pandemic, and that some folks are going to regret buying an RV and will stay home or fly to Europe or whatever.
Unfortunately, my unscientific sample is leaning the other way. As do most people, we talk to our neighbors in the campgrounds and the RV parks. We've met lots of newbies this year, and almost all of them are, well, happy campers.
Most of them say things like "this is the silver lining of the pandemic -- it forced us to discover RVing, and now we're hooked."
Give them time and they'll tire of it. Really. I've seen that with acquaintances who go gung ho a year or two then peeter out. Plus, they prefer hookups whereas we prefer dry camping. Saw it over the Memorial Day weekend, hookups booked and dry camping areas a plenty.
