>>2734878Nuclear family is an abomination of the traditional family. It’s something to be avoided, not to strive for.
>>2736875I mostly agree.
I’ve worked in a state park. RVs are (mostly) for retirees who like to travel from paved campground to paved campground across the US. Their RV, gold cart, and vehicle in tow are their main possessions as they travel for weeks, months, or even year round. They embrace the post-modern camping lifestyle, especially with other retirees who live the same lifestyle. Some camper folks also apply to this lifestyle as well.
Then there is the camper folks, they tend to be weekend warriors that travel, but not as far. They’re retirees but also often gen Xers, dude-bro millennials in large trucks with UTVs, and local folks who like to spend the weekend at the state park.
Camp hosts usually are camper campers too, then spend a half/whole
camping season at their favorite state park living part or full time for free while they do so many hours of volunteer labor such as litter patrol, cleaning fire rings, manning the camp store/office, and tending to campers needs in their respective area. Retirees live full time while Gen Xers and under are mostly weekend warriors as they have day jobs.
Some RVers fit into the typical camper camper category.
>>2735064They’re referred to as Schoolies or Skoolies. They range from shitty school bus camper conversions to very nice RV alternatives. It all depends on the type of bus you purchase and how much money and effort you’re willing to exert into your bus. I think the nicer skoolies are great alternatives to RVs. They’re sometimes smaller and lack some amenities like expanding walls but I think they fulfill the camping spirit better than most RVs.
When it comes to reliability and fuel economy, that depends on the type of bus you get and the engine that comes with it. I have yet to witness any shuttle or metro bus skoolies but they’re cheap as surplus school buses.
