For starters I was 44. There is another tread about how long into retirement people will be keeping their motor home. I am no where close to retirement and I feel like I don't fit the demographic. I want to keep this specific to class A DP's and late model ones say within 5 years old because of the huge expense.

I was 37. I'm 48 now and still have the same motorhome.

I was 34 when I bought my monaco, at 38 I moved to a 5th wheel. I loved the bus, but the 5th wheel has a lot more space, I already had the truck, and no longer have another engine to maintain.

I'm 63 and still not old enough to have one.

How young were you when you bought your first DP?

DW and I bought our first Class A DP, a 1999 Discovery 37V in 2009 and we were both 44 yrs old. Now 5 yrs later we have the current coach in our signature a 2006 Diplomat and plan on having this one for a long time. DW is retiring in 7 days and we are getting ready to leave for 6 months. Can't hardly wait!!

Traded our gas motorhome on a diesel pusher when I was 55. That was 22 years ago. Still driving a diesel pusher.

I was 37 when we bought our first DP (our 4th MH, 2 used, 1 new gassers before that), bought our second one when I was 42 when we bought our second one. We still have that one and probably will for the long term future.

Traded our 5th wheel and sold my truck to get ours earlier this year. I was 34. It's a long time till retirement, so this probably won't be our last.

It took me a TT, and two 5th wheels before I made the plunge.
