You fail to contemplate that some of "We the People" who have more reasonably sized outfits like the option of having places where we can be apart from the behemoths that some RVers drive. Those of us who are still willing to camp without microwaves and television and who still use the stove (or even the fire) to heat water for hot beverages. We don't need to run a generator for more than a couple of hours every 3rd day to keep our single battery in shape, and even then only if there is no sun to feed the solar. Our TT is a place to be comfortable in bad weather and for sleeping. We spend most of our time outside of the camper.
This is why we avoid RV parks. Many of us prefer the more primitive national forest and national park campgrounds as they are (and many of those have some campsites large enough for a big MH), and only seek out full service RV parks when actually needed. Hookups are the last thing we seek when planning a trip, aside from finding a water refill and a dump station every few days. Because there are people with different needs and wants, there are campgrounds that offer differing amenities. I don't see why they should all be expected to cater to the 40' MH crowd.
We have to keep in mind that even James Watt failed to destroy the National Parks System during his reign, despite his best efforts.

I agree with this post completely.
