[Shotimes] OT where are all those campers going?

Sometimes I can be a bit dense (Kirk/Ron, just shut up...OK?) :)
But on the recent trip to Memphis to work on the 06 Convention, I kept
noticing dually or one-ton pickups hauling about 22-26 foot campers.
Not the construction type trailers you expect to see behind work trucks,
or the mobile homes that would take a bigger truck, but regular campers.
It was too late in the year for snowbirds to be going to Florida, and
the trucks all had the same small magnetic company logo/name on the
doors. Could never get a read on it though. Must have seen nearly a
hundred over the two days on I-57/I-55.
Then it finally (the dense part) dawned on me. These are going to
Louisiana and New Orleans for housing! Didn't think they would start
sending down regular campers, but I guess the need is that great. I
lived in one for a year when going to college, for a single guy, a
camper isn't a bad hooch, but not for a family more than a week or two.
Just an observation.
