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.

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.
As a matter of fact, there's a nice article in the current or very recent MotorHome about a family visiting the Little House on the Prairie Laura Ingles Wilder place. Very well written, cute kids pictured.
But here's the way it works. It's not that the editors are tossing the family articles in the trash. They probably would love to have more...the editor works with freelancers who submit suggested articles for consideration, and if editor likes the text and photos, they pay the person who sent it in. Some of us take long trips, write a batch of articles, repeat. Usually not folks limited to two week vacation per year and by school schedules.
So how about writing about your family trips, all you folks who RV with kids???
