Haha it was when they started to run everything with electricity... my first RV had a radiant wall heater, no A/C just a lot of windows, a water system that used air pressure, all plumbing went to one tank that we now call the black water tank, and a built in propane lantern... it only had a few 12v lights. We could stay anywhere in that rig for as long as we wanted!!! I still miss that trailer... sign :-\
It looks like your first RV was similar to our first RV -> a 1969 Chinook chassis-mount Class C. This RV had propane powered lights, 12V lights, and 120V lights. To charge the battery we either had to plug in with hookups or idle the main engine when drycamping. That was a great rig, but it would definitely look like weird camping to use it today.
