I was 14 when my parents bought a pop up. DH and I did a lot of backpacking, tent camping, van camping. We bought a 19' TT in our 40's, then a 23' TT, and a 27' TT. At 53 we downsized to an Okanagan TC, and at 60 we got just got the Arctic Fox TC. We were able to retire early and love getting out for extended trips.
