Will the computer generation want out door activities? Will we be able to afford them?
....it depends what cohort you mean. To me, the computer generation are baby boomers (who invented computing and supercomputing: way pre smart-phone). This group earns roughly 40% of all US income. The Gen Xers were the cohort who invented mobile technology (ie. the first smart-phone "phone-computer mashup" was the IBM Simon in 1992, designed by people born in the '60s and '70s), Gen-Xers earning about 30% of all US income.

It is HIGHLY doubtful that Millennials will ever be able to afford any kind of RV lifestyle....anytime soon (read: perhaps in the future, when they inherit). Millenials only look at car payments by the weekly numbers (ever notice that over the past ~8 years, car companies advertise: "....payments only $30.......WEEKLY."
