Well, most of us turned out fine, and so will these guys. Even if spoiled, the world will whip most of them into shape, just it did to me when my mom stopped doing my laundry and paying for my car insurance at age 23.

That being said, recreational vehicles tend to wax and wane. Didn't the motorcycle industry fear going out of business 30-40 years ago? It will always be around, manufacturers will adjust. If it goes away, it will go away due to market forces, which can be harsh.
I was one of those who look at the kids today and said the same thing about mommy and daddy not being around. Then, as you just said here, I figure they'll survive somehow. We weren't perfect back when, but I feel that we had better work ethic. Time will tell.
