ON THE ROAD documents the burgeoning community of RV'ers. The best estimate is that some two million people live in recreational vehicles year round. Most of them left their communities for a life of freedom on the road. The irony is, according to anthropologists David and Dorothy Counts, that they've created an incredibly strong community of like-minded souls-- modern-day nomads with cooperatively-built RV parks and volunteer-run care centers. |
