I keep seeing people questioning the future of RVing and what that might mean for them. Here are some of my thoughts on that.
The only constant in life is change. Whether you see these changes as good or bad is based primarily on your attitude. Do you see these changes as infringing on your own plans? Or do you celebrate so many people finding a pleasurable activity?
Yes, many baby boomers are hitting the road at least part time. I also think many displaced people are pushed into RVing as the only lifestyle affordable to them. Plus, today’s internet availability is letting many working people join the ranks of full time RVers. These various groups are mostly looking for different types of places to camp, though.
Yes, some of those places fill up faster than they used to do. Fortunately, there are lots of other places to explore. And people following the trends in the industry are deciding to build more RV parks. We are a long way from running out of places to camp.
Some of us boomers like boondocking in the desert. But there’s still a lot of desert out there. And most of us can also afford to stay in private campgrounds when those meet our needs. And the leading edge of the boomers are getting back off the road as our bodies age in ways that don’t let us do what we used to do so we are making some room for the rest of you.
So, come on out; the fun is still available for everyone who chooses to participate.
TTYL,
Linda
