As we lumber around the landscape in our monstrous sized Class A's, huge Class B's and C's, 3/4 Ton Diesel Pickups towing that Long Long trailer and converted Buses are we as a group a blight on the E...

NOW, take the time and post all THOSE egregious affects on our planet.
An RV/RV'ing is a gnat in the sand compared to that.
Whoa, sweet pea, take a breath! My point was RVing is NOT as innocuous as some think-there's still an environmental impact and much of it gets shifted so it's not noticed. I did NOT say that it's impact was as great as building. My plane comments come from published research. Regarding trees, etc.-no research needed. It's pretty obvious when you go to an RV park where they've nuked the land that there's been an impact on the surrounding environment. And that includes the wildlife. So please put the hairs on your neck down-it was not a personal affront to RVing, it was just a reminder that EVERYTHING we do has an impact and yes, it does get shifted unless you stay 7x24 in your RV and do not go elsewhere.
For those of you with the "I pay for it therefore I get to use it how I want", I can only say SHAME ON YOU!!! I don't listen the tree-hugging Prius drivers, either, but I listen to my SON. He wants his kids when he has them to have energy sources available, a clean environment, open space and clean water. Not much to ask. It is up to US to preserve that environment and many of us do so regardless of the RV lifestyle.
