"It's part of Americana. One in 10 American families owns an RV," Kraus said.

That must include people who live in trailers. No damn way that many people own RVs.

Maybe one in 10 dream of owning an RV lol

Because that's me. I'd love to have a solar-charged EV-RV and just van-life life it across North America in my retirement years.

I mean yeah I get it. Then I think of the reality, which is cramming it into KOA parking spots and watching kids ride bikes around the parking lot.

If you can go off grid, you can stay in a lot of national forests for 14 days. Big campgrounds, and especially private campgrounds, really don't do it for me.

A quick search says it's more like 8-10 million total, so closer to 1/40 people. Avg household size of 2.5 gets that to 1/16 households.
