We have been to a few upscale rv resorts, and yes we have noticed that most of the grumpy old people sit in their motorhome all the time and watch TV.
That is an offensive, gross generalization. I may be old and grumpy but when I wish to sit inside it isn't because I'm not being social. We sat outside this evening and had a glass of wine while watching the sun set. Afterwards, we went inside and fixed dinner in our spacious kitchen using some of our gourmet kitchen appliances. We do grill outside when we desire, but that's only if the recipe calls for it. We ate dinner inside because it was air conditioned and bug-free and because I hate taking the porcelain dinnerware outside!:W
After dinner we surfed the internet while watching a few shows on DirecTV. Our living area seating pieces are Ekornes Stressless furniture finished in glove-soft leather; some of the world's most comfortable furniture. I could have sat outside in the dark or with a campfire, but my 40" HDTV was more pleasurable.
I hope this doesn't sound too snarky, but we're not compelled to sit outside to prove that we're camping. There's enough glass in our MH to permit us to feel as if we're outside anytime we wish. I suspect that in a year of full-timing we're outside a lot more than you are during your vacation or weekend adventures. We're not snobbish, we simply have options other than sitting outside.
