Age and RV

I was wondering if there was a direct coalition between how old we are and what we own for an RV. Is it tents and TTs for younger people, Gassers and 5ths for middle agers and C's & DP for the older crowd? Are there any trends here?

So I put this out in the name of research...... How old are you and what is your RV?

I am 48 and have a 2005 Class A Gasser.

    I'm in my early 30's and DW is late 20's.

    Tented a few times, We are now on our first TT, but would consider a 5er or Class A in the future as our needs change. I know enough to know we will skip any gassers entirely, lol

    I think the Tent, TT, 5er, MH progression timeline is pretty much right on ;)
