- TugCampExplorerBought our Class A in January 2013 I'm now 42!
- mtrumpetExplorerBought our first Class A (Gasser) when I was 48. I'm now 58 (DW is currently 48) and have had our DP for 5 years now.
- willaldExplorer IIOriginal poster makes a good point - For various reasons, I do believe the majority of Class A owners are older, retired folks. Thats just the nature of the business with these things.
When stepping up to a Class A frequently involves spending more $$ than most have in a life long investment like their house, then add to that the fact that most Class As do not have floorplans very practical for use with families with children....Wellll, it eliminates many folks from the market for these rigs. Not many can realistically afford them, and use them enough to be worth the huge investment.
That said, obviously there are many 'exceptions' to this that have been noted in this thread. We are an 'exception' to this as well. I'm 46, have owned a Class A for almost 3 years now. I've been told many, many times that we are way too young to own one of these rigs, haha. When we first bought ours 3 years ago, my manager at work seriously asked me if I was thinking of retiring soon! Hahahahahahahaha, 'fraid not, I can hardly even think that far in the future! :)
Pretty much, if you're under 55 and decide to purchase a class A, you can expect to be in somewhat of a minority, haha. But, don't let that stop you, either. Its kinda fun being in that minority. :) - dieharderExplorerI turn 44 soon and owned mine a few years now.
