    All I can say about that is this: I'm glad I got my RVing and camping
    and flatspotting done back when full hookup CGs were rarely even close
    to full, semi-primitive CGs were still semi-primitive, and the
    boondocks were literally mostly other-people free. And only near the
    end of my travel-camping era did I have to consider advance
    reservations, and then have to restrain myself from throwing rocks at
    street lights and at little buttugly yapping mutts.

    Next thing you know, they'll be playing in campgrounds - if they're
    not already - what used to be called Muzak.

    I expect the used market to out sell the new units market several fold
    here in the next year or so... if they sell at all. Even though new unit
    prices are already coming down. People who were dodging hotels and
    airplanes during the peak of Covid will be selling these things, likely
    at a loss, faster than Mr. Dodge can evade answering a question. I'm
    sure he will chime in here with his usual yabuts but, the fat lady has
    yet to sing.

    Of course if the people in Oregon are looking for an RV, they could
    afford almost anything with all the money they are saving on their
    electric bills.

    I'll second that. We just sold ours. This last year did it for us when
    you had to pay way more to camp, gas up and call way in advance to get a
    spot or not get one at all. It just wasn't fun any more and had become
    a hassle. Guess I'm getting old.<bg>

    Depends on the dog - but I'm still a long way from puppydom metrics.
    Dog or cracker, the significance of the passage of time is significant according to Kakala's calculus.

    I think Kakala must've been made Czar of Dishies.
