Camper sightings on roads and hiways Memorial Day 2014

I have started to notice a surpising trend in camper types spotted on the roads during the holiday weekend. Hybrids ruled the roost on the roadways, while pups were in the single digits.

#1 Hybrids all years/models
#2 Trailers many ultralight, most repeated sunset trail
#3 Class A Gas, nothing extravagant
#4 Class C Gas, nothing extravagant
#5 Pups, nothing new, most were 10 to 20 year old types.

Area traveled: Northeast PA to Bayville NJ. Secondary roads, interstate travel between 2pm to 5pm on Friday, and 1to 4pm on Monday.

  • Sit on I-95 and you see something entirely different, or any other interstate for that matter.
  • It easy to see why popups are dying breed. I should have put 5th wheel at #2 and adjust the numbers.
  • I went west and it was all class As and big 5th wheels. I think the NE has many more campgrounds that bigger units find harder to use It is one of the reasons I rarely go up there one trip a year max.
