I have been giving this thread some thought lately, especially when I went to the RV show a couple of weeks ago. There I saw that almost all of the Class A's were luxury motor coaches in stead of the campers I grew up with. What I thought as we toured them was that as fuel prices continue to rise, camping will become more of a luxury activity than an inexpensive way to see the country. I also pondered that as more and more Class A only luxury camp grounds spring up, expectations among the boomers will be that of "glamping" rather than the rustic stays in National and State Parks. Boondocking will become an "experience" and not a form of camping. So I think camping, excuse me, RV'ing will continue to be around in the future, but it will not necessarily be camping as we know it today.
