McMansions On Wheels, Have We Gone To Far
Just curious if others out there like me that think "Have we gone to far as to camping in a RV that cost many thousands of dollars", I sort of think how we use to camp back in the 50's, 60's and 70's,...

From what I've seen, most people with "McRVs" are those who are full-timing or doing extensive traveling - not those who are camping in the traditional sense. Those who are camping tend to top out at a TH so they can bring their outdoor toys or a 5er that will sleep the whole family.
Of course, I tend to camp at NF campgrounds in the mountains and have yet to see a class A at any of them. It might be different elsewhere.
I find my clipper to be the perfect size for providing a nice bed and bathroom while maintaining a traditional camping experience. When I read posts on camping forums about tent campers who are setting up a sleeping tent, bathroom tent, dining tent, etc., plus bringing a couple AGM batteries hooked up to provide power for lighting, music, electronics, and so on, plus bringing cots, mattresses, kitchen centers, etc., I figure they aren't any more "back to nature" than I am in my clipper with the basics. I just don't have to spend all that time setting up and taking down and I don't have to worry about storage space for all my gear.
