You are probably right for the most part. There are two mitigations, though:

1) It is easy to overestimate how much driving the average RVer does. We B-vanners are a special breed. A very large number of folks are weekenders who take the family to a nearby State Park and stay there.

2) Lots of places where folks camp already have charging infrastructure in the form of sites with shore power. Admittedly, significant upgrading will be called for, but existing 50 amp service is a start.
