I've been to several GMC (the cool fwd ones) ralleys at RV parks lately, because of an interest in potentially getting one, and to sample the RV lifestyle which I've not really ever done. I've found that RV parks are inevitably located on the worst pieces of real estate available. It is as if they seek to be close to
*interstate highways with convoys of semis streaking by all night and all day
*railroads, especially if there are crossings nearby that prompt the trains to sound their horns at all hours
*airports with lots and lots of traffic
Bonus points are awarded if any particular park does an excellent job of capturing the essence of all three of the above.

But I have some camping experience and I will say that RV appliances are crap, as well as all the extra cheap, flimsy, crappy, AND expensive plumbing fittings and... well, ANYTHING special to RVs.
