I see most of the replies are referring as if I meant going back to a tent and that was not in my 1st post, just referring to the ever so high end RV's that are rolling mansions that I have seen at some campgrounds, not high end RV parks, they only come outside to walk their little white poodle that for some reason they all own one, never a camp fire and the TV lights the night inside their McRV.

Acutely I seem to feel younger when I go outside and do things, site see, boating, camp fires when ever I can, drive my jeep off road, etc, etc, and I am not that young, I was also thinking about down sizing some day down the road but not to a tent but maybe something medium/small size and unique.

And I was never looking down at McRVers just commenting of how far we have come to RVing and have we gone to far ?

If you are not "putting down" the McRV'ers, I do not understand what you are doing. Just because they are "affluent" enough to invest $1 mil. or more in their hobby, does that make them less of a citizen? If you want to curtail the growth of McRV'ers, just get your representatives to pass laws that require CDL license for anything over 10,000 lbs. GW. That would curtail purchases of the large RV's quicker than any regulation available. It would help with road congestion and open up RV Park accessibility. Simple but effective.

No I don't want any restrictions on anyone way of RVing but referring to have a CDL or similar license on certain weights well that is already happening, even here in Nevada over 26,000 lbs you have to get a class A/CDL type license like they do in California and that does go after the big McRV owners.

I am way under that weight till I hookup my stacker trailer than I am over 26,000 lbs but I bet the Highway patrol wont know.
