Sadly the shine seems to have gone off the RV'ing lifestyle that many of us who joined this social media site enjoyed leading to individuals selling their unit's. Aging populations of the earlier RV'ing generation that started the Good Sam club and RV.net when the internet came alone also sadly are in decline.
People's social media tastes have also changed and I myself am struggling with the changing social media scene. Facebook and Instagram for the RV lifestyle to me seems very disjointed and difficult to navigate.
I really am troubled by the decline on here and by my own anxiety and negativity I am feeling towards the RV lifestyle with everything going on in society in both Canada and the US that has changed the atmosphere in campgrounds and the overall perception of declining safety from many different societal changes.
I wish I was not feeling this way starting retirement but we must make the best of it.
In a couple weeks we are heading out for Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for a couple weeks so we hope to have a wonderful time in the RV to rekindle our love of the lifestyle.
