Not everyone out there RV'ing in junky ways is down because of their luck ... some are down because of their choices ... and some aren't "down" at all even though their ways may look like it.
i.e. Not a full-timing example, but we recently had a "junky looking pickup" pulling an "old trailer full of what looked to us like junk" park within about 5 feet of our RV to overnight (he sleeping in the PU) right beside us in a huge gravel drycamping area in which he could have easily parked hundreds of feet away. We even broke camp and moved our rig away a bit. But before moving I talked to him briefly, and low and behold he was a person completely "on top of it" and was moving some stuff to his home in Montana and had pulled up right next to us because he was concerned about security of the items in his trailer!
One cannot be too quick to judge. But - like my dad used to say years ago: "It's getting anymore so you can't tell the Good Guys from the Bad Guys".
