I camp all year, but here's no reason for me to take pictures of my camper sitting in a puddle on a rainy day with heavy overcast. The few pictures I post will typically have bright color rather than muted shades of gray.

There must be different kinds of rainforests.
The US Pacific Northwest rainforest has a more persistent drizzle pattern with occasional daily showers.
Forest trees are covered in moss and the moss supports ferns and fungi growth.
The abundant undergrowth decay - a rich soft humus - isn't the sort of thing one wants to drive on.
Your forest photos look quite different - not what I would expect from a "rainforest".
Here's a rainforest image from Wikipedia and it looks like some of my backyard:

Interesting observation, Robert! I think that the moist part of the USA is mostly east of the Mississippi, where there is less federal open land than in the drier Far West. So if you like to camp way out in the middle of nowhere (which makes for some good photos!), you are more likely to be in dry territory. The wetter portion of the US was settled much earlier than the West, so it is more densely populated, in general.

Seen no shots of TC’s in Alaska or ones of a TC in a Rainforest. Primarily shots of TC’s in arid areas for example Utah

I have noticed the bulk of the Photos submitted for trip reports are primarily in fairly dry areas. That is a generalisation , but TC’s in Alaska are rare or a rainforest are non existent.
This shot of a Pop Up manufacturers TC in an Australian Forest is fairly common here. Pickup is a VW Amarok
