So what is the definition of vintage?
Just curious as to what specific items place a motorhome into the "vintage" category. Is it only age? Being discontinued? Just wondering.

I don't know such criteria exist...just matters of opinion. But it used to be anything older than 25 years old was at least considered "classic" or bordering on antique.
If all that is true...heck everything we own on the ranch falls into all of those catagories. Our newest tractor is a 1959, my woodburning kitchen stove was made in the 1800's, my electric range (a Frigidaire Flair) is from the 1960s, the Hoosier is...don't even know, and even the kitchen sink is 1940s. And then there are the cars and trucks ranging in age from the 1950s-1970s.
Heck everything gets old but many times the old stuff lasts the longest! So if you find an early model motorhome that is called "vintage" it may be a great one or could be a piece of junk, depends on how it was maintained.
Our MH is now over 11 so I wonder how long before it will be considered vintage since it was the 1st year Tiffin made the Phaeton?!
