People's idea of "camping" has changed a lot. Roughing it is no longer as much fun.
Today's RVs are so much more involved that they require a lot more power. And to make matters worse, the average owner can't fix many things themselves. This all leads to costly repairs and time in the shop. |
Now that I think about what we did when my kids were growing up, and what I did when I was growing up, one of the purposes was to avoid most of those thing you mention. I guess modern camping is all about bringing as much of your home with you as possible to a different location. Not that I'm doing any differently, and at my age I would not want to go back, but somehow a lot of the fun and adventure has gone out of it.
In any case, sorry for the distraction. Let's get back to how to fix all the neat stuff we now have, and aren't sure how works, or what it does.
