Know RV or campers association...

...with strong environmental and public land protection voice?

Camper numbers are now 42 million or 12% of the population.

There are threats to public lands and wildlife that are integral part of our enjoyment of the outdoors.

A. Latest is an amendment to include cost considerations or revenue loss to protect endangered species.

B. Opening up national forest, parks and monuments to private interests.

C. Cut in national parks budget by 12% when they are behind in overdue repairs by $12 billion.

I intend to be a member to add my voice. Am already a member of a national conservation organization and two national park-national forest specific association.

  • 42 million active campers in the USA? Last year, last decade, or just raw unit sales numbers for some time period? Please cite source.
  • My hat's off to you! I'm doing all I can to bring about change also. Expect a negative flack from many on this forum though.
