Whether younger RV'ing families like my own attend rallies or not is one issue. The other issue that the OP brought up is that the trade magazines (RV, Trailer Life, Motorhome etc...) don't seem to feature any articles or photos of younger families camping. I would really like to pick up these magazines and read a couple of stories that focus on families camping. This point was driven home to me a year or two back when Trailer Life reviewed a Jayco Hybrid camper that I was interested in purchasing. This hybrid is clearly designed for a family with a couple of kids.
The camper had bunk beds in the back and I really wanted to know if they were comfortable/practical for two kids. The reviewer of the camper (who I think travelled solo) only mentioned that he used the bunks to store his camera equipment! No kids involved in the testing at all. At that point I felt like something was wrong. Have a family test out a family camper--not a single man traveling with his cameras.
Not being anti-retired RVer at all here. As I mentioned earlier--when I camp I see families and retirees and couples and friends of all ages. The RV magazines do not reflect the diversity of the RVing population at all. A good way to make yourself irrelevant if you ask me.
