I have a buddy that says we go "trailer" NOT "camping". I have no desire to start an arguement over what "camping" IS.

However, after reading the post about needing bigger tow vehicles, bigger trailers, more gadgets, etc... I do think it would be interesting (it's -2 outside) to hear some comparisions between family travelling (rv style) today as compared to when many of us were kids. It does not need to get condesending, the comment can come to a conclusion, or be left open ended. Kinda like this----

I remember when-- families had 6 kids, and they all fit in a two door pickup, and pulled/slept in a 20' trailer.

I remmber when-- batteries maintenence meant making sure all flashlights/radios, etc... all fit the same size battery so you only had to pack one size.

I remember when-- awnings had poles and ropes to trip over.
