[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3327465, member: 24302"] I watched a little over half the video. They've twisted the camperforce into something dark and foreboding. They go on about how it's so sad these elderly folk are living in RV's. They literally have no idea what they're talking about. Living in a RV for most RVers is a lifestyle choice they gladly choose. They have the freedom to move about and see the country. They can park at Wal-Mart overnight and the next day be camping at a beautiful spot on federal land. They can follow the seasons, staying in the Rockies in the summer, in south Texas or Baja California in the winter, and so many places in between. Many have a decent enough income to get by without working, others work at Amazon, the sugar beet harvest and elsewhere so that they can maintain this lifestyle, and some take jobs like Amazon just to have something to do. But these anti-capitalism types twist it into hobo camps like in the Great Depression for people who too hate capitalism and aren't familiar with the RV lifestyle. They're the ones locked into the mindset that you must live in a traditional home and if you don't have what the rich guy has then the system is unfair and unjust. Meanwhile the RVers are doing things like meet-ups at Quartzite where for a few months every winter as many as a quarter million RVers turn a spot in the road into one of AZ's biggest cities with tons of free entertainment. You don't know what's going on out there but want to turn it into something sad and pathetic because you're locked into a certain mindset. [/QUOTE]
