With the high cost of purchasing the RV (20'-up) & with park rates getting higher every year the camping vacation is not the value it was a decade ago.

Was a good plan a decade ago when RV parks charged less than $25/day but during my stay at the KOA last weekend rates had sky-rocked to $65/day with the next increase already planned in the near future.

Vehicles priced so high they have to "rent" them out but lets not call it that because it sounds so dirty...how about "leasing" instead? Then we have starter homes that are more than 3x avg income...more

I remember back when Datsun stormed into America with those 210's 310's & small pickups that actually got GREAT MPG when gas was $1.25/gallon on a bad day.
