Interesting and enlightening explanation.
I first heard the term used significantly when people were upgrading from tents and popups and HTT to RV's without any tenting (TT,5W, TH, CLASS C and A's). Always thought it was a reference to not having tenting any more which lets in more light than hard sided RV's.
This is the right answere. Folks that use popups are use to haveing a more wide open type of camping. They can zip the windows all the way down, and the pup is filled with not only the breeze, but light as well. It's like being in a screen house. Even more open than tenting.
When a pupper goes to a hard sided RV. It is refered to as going to the dark side, because of the lack of windows, and large screens that allow light in. Many of the also think they will go deaf in a TT as they think it is quieter inside one.
