We've been camping/rving since 1988, and the trend has certainly been to larger and longer trailers, fifth wheels and motorhomes. Along with that, we've noticed how fewer people cook their meals outside or eat outside (weather permitting) and enjoy "traditional" camping. We did our family camping in a pop up, and if we were starting all over again, I think I would just want to upgrade to a hybrid with selfcontained bathroom. I think kids learn a lot from sleeping under canvas and a certain amount of "roughing it" rather than having a full house on wheels!
And, a lot of younger families could save a bundle of $$ (save it for college costs!) by camping in smaller units that don't need expensive tow vehicles!
As to lighting...I agree. I especially don't understand the need use rope lighting to outline your campsite. I do appreciate the LED awning lights I added, but I only use them when I need the lighting...otherwise, I'd rather sit outside with lower level lighting.
I guess you have not noticed, most people on this forumn own those big 30 ft. 5th wheels and motorhomes. Not very many people with tent trailers here.
