Revolutionary road


from Financial Times:
As an era of conspicuous consumption, decadent trophy homes and one-upmanship is eclipsed by one of environmental concern and family values, the RV and even the humble caravan symbolise a quest for personal fulfilment and discovery. Even Barack Obama is a fan. “As soon as this convention is over, we are loading up our kids in an RV. We are travelling around to county fairs, eating ice cream and taking our two girls to the swimming pool,” he said during his presidential campaign.
