Are RV forums dying?
Seems to me we get less and less participation in this forum each year:

So many generalities being tossed about. The truth is there are a million different reasons why people don't camp and/or RV - regardless of their ethnic background. - Nobody has it yet...The Elephant I was alluding to in my post upstream is the PERCEPTION and I want to underline that word Perception that this pastime is shot through with more than a little Redneckism, racism and intolerance.
I am NOT saying I agree with that judgement only that is the perception.
Having said that I have had more than a few encounters with those that fit that bill out here on the road at many RV parks.
And NO I do not believe that most RV'ers are that way. But only bring it forth as the unstated reason not being acknowledged in this discussion.
On the other hand I have come across a wide spectrum of people from all over America and the World out here and that is the part of Rv'ing that is encouraging and that I find most rewarding. - ^ Now there is one good reason the forum attendance is declining.
- Many minorities gravitate toward urban areas for a variety of reasons; not all of these areas are RV friendly

People thinking minorities don't go camping apparently haven't been to any campground in southern California. Mariachi music and Raiders flags as far as the eye can see.

They seem to have figured it out pretty well at Dockweiler RV Park just west of LAX. The park was filled with a cornucopia of races and cultures this weekend and last. I'd say about 20% were black. I had a wonderful experience with many of the campers asking me about my coach and making great conversations.4X4Dodger wrote:

There is an Elephant in the room...is anybody going to point it out regarding why minorities are under represented as Rv'ers/campers?n7bsn wrote:
