Let's see, I was 32 when I switched from wife 1 to wife 2 (DW). Never even thought about camping up till then. DW's family had always camped, so here we go.
Tent camping with 4 kids (2+2) from 32 to 44 (DW 29 to 41) (storm clouds followed us)
used Jayco popup at 44 (DW 41) better weather, still seemed small
new Fleetwood travel trailer at 48 (DW 45) loved it, but stored it outside, bad idea
new Primetime LaCrosse at 56 (DW 53) 3 trips in, loving it so far.
