I also agree it was not a feel good movie; however, it was much happier than the book, which, IMO, was very depressing. There are various levels of RVing. This is scraping by paycheck to paycheck in mostly physically demanding jobs. It’s a whole different world I wasn’t aware existed. It made me count my many blessings.
