There should be a law

OK - I have read all of the posts up to this point.
I am TOTALLY blown away by so many folks that cannot take a day or two without being 'connected!!
I take the pleasant time away to use my RV to get away from all of the on-line nonsense!!
Heck, when I first started in my first RV (more years ago than I care to admit) it was fortunate if the 'campground' had a pay phone where you put in a nickle to get to the operator and then needed a bunch of quarters to talk with someone back home.

On-line banking from your RV over an open WiFi connection??
You MUST be kidding!! (Unless you don;t have much money in the bank and don't care who get's to it.)

Folks - STOP!! Enjoy the ride - smell the roses - enjoy the Sunsets (I'm too old for the Sunrise trick) and make your RV time really special - not just another day away from home.
JMHO - call me an 'Old Guy'!!
PS - and while I'm on a 'roll' - GIVE-UP the GPS!! Learn to read a MAP - you know the paper kind. A national Atlas will get you anywhere you want to go - especially if your Internet / telephone connection is shot!!

Someone has their grumpy on. It's not the same world it was 50yrs ago. Without the advantages of new technology, we would still be working full time in an office cubicle rather than working at the picknick table watching that sunrise.

When you are at home, do you leave the electricity off so you can better enjoy the experience?

While I'm fully capable of using paper maps, nothing beats the GPS telling me which lane I need coming into a complicated interchange that I've never been thru before. They aren't perfect but they are 10 times better than a paper map. Then again, I've seen old guys with the paper map on the steering wheel as they are cruising down the road. I'll take my GPS thank you. And I have no less than 5 devices that can function mapping devices so short of an EM blast (in which case it will likely take out the engine electronics anyway), I'm not too worried about having all my electronics go down.
