What about the families whose homes were incinerated across the west, flooded in Huston by four FEET of rain, their building lots wiped clean by gulf coast hurricanes, who lived in towns that within mere minutes became piles of rubble when what they got for Christmas was tornadoes? As usual, most of the nay saying is a failure of imagination. Since these are families of the future, they might make other choices; it isn't as though RVing is the only way, RVs are how some of us do things right now. What I point out is that the industry will survive, not every change is going to "RUIN EVERYTHING!!!" I'm not far behind in age and I expect to see a lot of the changes put into action while I'm still RVing and I am sure as heck that some people will rudely tell early adapters how some devil of their imagination is laughing as they take up the new ways. Been in that position many times myself and have concluded some people just can't miss an opportunity to be negative.

Here's the thing: This change surely is coming. There may be a lot of sacrifices, such as we might have to stay in one spot longer for batteries to charge until the infrastructure is upgraded and better batteries-- or changeable batteries-- are developed. (Oh, woe is me!! I can't rush off to the the next campground the very next day!! I have to actually stay in one campground! Wahh) Those are relatively minor sacrifices when the alternative is arriving at a campground only to find it was wiped out by a once in a hundred year weather event that now comes along every ten years at present, but will be more frequent in the near future. I see this topic come up often in RVing sites and my advice is to put on your big boy (or girl) pants and accept we are in the midst of an existential crisis that is not fake, not unproven, not going away without decisive action, not going to ruin everything when we have to make some changes. There are completely viable solutions not mentioned here but we will have to be part of the solution if we want to continue RVing.
