Every time I pick up the latest issue of Highways Magazine, and look at the pictures of events, I don't see any people my age with their children. Looks like everyone is retired and young at heart (well, even nearing 40, I still race shopping carts at the grocery store). Are the events in these magazines not open to us younger folks? By the way, if the only way to be in a picture is to put on a matching vest with patches, sorry, not for me!!!

I totally agree. Even with Trailer LIfe magazine I always feel like the articles skew older. Industry folks need to work harder to attract young RV'ers with families or their going to pay a price one day. Everywhere we camp we see a nice mix of singles, families,and older couples--but this is not represented in the trade magazines.

I couldn't agree more! When did RVing become about a bunch of old folks????Once upon a time all the ads featured happy families camping together- now the only time you see anyone under the age of sixty, it's some silver-haired old grandpa's "niece", if you know what I mean.Somebody's really missing the boat, in my opinion!

We old folks are part of the largest generation--The baby boomers. You will cater to us and our money. You young whiper snappers will have to wait your turn. LOL

LOLI am not anti old people, I just look at these Rallies and see pictures of older folks and think, is this where I really want to go camping?

LOLGuess I forgot to add that I'm a geezer, too, if turning sixty this years qualifies me to say that...and if we leave the young 'uns out, who's going to cater to our every whim?I rarely camp without at least some of my descendants. I can't imagine having to get up and pour my own coffee, for example....isn't that what the younger generation's for? :B
