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,...

Today's generation is born into the electronic, computerized, SmartPhone, Cable Television with a million stations, and the Internet at their fingertips age. This is all they knew. They never grew up with an outhouse, getting water from a hand pump, and storing food in a root cellar. Their camping style is just an extension of their daily life style. So RV manufacturers have to keep up with the demands of the "electronic generations" or no one would ever buy any RV.
So, it seems like folks own and operate McMansions now, but all they are doing is reflecting their personal life-styles. Today's generation is a spoiled generation. What was our "toys" when we were kids, are now their "necessities" (or so they think). It's only natural the demand for more sophisticated, luxurious, bigger, and more advanced types of RV are pulling into campgrounds these days.
I disagree with this. I see more older generations buying the McRVs than I see today's generation buying them. Most of the younger generations (20-30 years old) I see out camping are pulling up to the campground in their cars with tent gear. They may have a truck with an ATV, PWC, or boat towing behind, but they aren't pulling up in the fancy class As.
40 and up are the ones going for the big class As - and none of them are "today's generation".
