First, it was Joshua Tree National Park that 'http://www.kcet.org/living/travel/socal_wanderer/national-park/vandalized-canyon-in-joshua-tree-to-be-closed-for-another-month.html' target='_blank'&gt;got hit by vandals last April.

It says: 'One of the greatest things about the RV lifestyle is that we have been blessed with so many wonderful friends. And many times those friendships are stronger than the ones we had with people in our old hometown before we hit the road.'



So I've got a question for you full-time RVers: Are RVing friends really the best?
