Seward, AK
The town of Seward, AK is amazingly cool. They even have a 400(!) site public campground set up on the bay, just outside of the downtown area. Alas, like most of Alaska, it is geared to the Amazingly Annoying White Trash Land Whale Crowd, aka RVers, and 375 of the sites are for them. However, I snagged one of the 25 sites reserved for tent camping and these are the views from my tent.
This was $8 a night. I ask again, how in the world am I going to adjust to being back in NYC? You can barely take a cab anywhere for that kind of money anymore, but here it buys you paradise.

Hey I hate to take away your chew toy, doggy, but RVer's now represent the highest socio-economic level. "RV's, they are not just for white trash anymore."
Some other interesting demographics include:
1. The actual and project explosion of the RV popularity will be fueled largely by aging baby boomers, 35 to 54 years of age.
2. Polls show that RV owners look at washers and dryers as necessities in their RV’s
3. Phones, cable TV and wireless computer hook ups will be major considerations in selecting RV parks for intermediate trips and vacations.
4. Although used RV’s may be purchased in the $20,000 and $30,000 range, new models with all of the conveniences that the baby boomers expect and demand range upwards of $70,000 to $150,000. Super homes-away-from-home built on bus chassis and decorated to the owner’s specifications can top the $1,000,000 mark.

Money doesn't equal class. There are gazillionaires out there that are solidly white trash. I've seen these $1M+ Land Whales piloted by guys that makes your average NASCAR watcher look like the 5th Earl of Snobbitude.
So they got a good settlement from a lawsuit or their used car dealership did really well - so what? Most (not all, mind you) RVers are garbage. More on that later.
