Sure you do BFL. Ever try lashing a 300 lb white tail over the fender of a Winnebago?
Down here it is common that an RV facility is six miles from a stellar pueblo magico, costs twice as much per night as a good solid hotel, avoids the parking-is-plugged-solid-everywhere issue and where's our car panic?
What I wrote is directed at then-and-now perspectives of rv'ers. Canada may be as well set in the Orion Nebula if you try and compare it to camping east of the rockies.
I could have then and I can now rent a pack train and go waaaaaaay off grid. It's the mind set of some folks who park, plug-in, and never go outside that gets me. It's a free country but many of he absolute necessities of today did not exist in the Mark Hopkins hotel suites of fifty years ago. It's the actual cost of powering up these necessities that has me scratching my head. Five hundred bucks additional so Johnnie can continue to educate himself beating Grand Theft Auto while parked at Yellowstone would be an example.
We used to camp to get-away-from-it-all. Now, it's about bringing it all with us, and paying through the snot box for the privilege.
