age

At 43 the wife and I decided we were going to try camping with a tt. Never camped much as an adult. So we decided it was time to get the teenage daughter and ourselves outside. The daughter wasn`t real impressed with this idea. No internet are you kidding me.This is going to be our 3rd season in our tt and she can`t wait to get back and see her camping friends. We`re hooked!

Tents as a teen and early 20s.
Bought a small TT at 25. Didn't have a proper TV then - sold it.
Bought another smaller TT at 28. Bought a proper TV. Used it, learned a lot, then sold it. We outgrew it too fast.
Bought fifth wheel at 29. Learning every day and enjoying it more. Got about 30 nights in over the last year and a half.

Now that the kids are starting to get bigger, our 23 foot fifth wheel is starting to get pretty small. Probably upgrading to 30 or 35 foot in the next couple of years. Our small fifth wheel has been very good to us and has been a great size to test the waters in before committing to something bigger and heavier. When the time comes, I might park this one at our hunting property so I don't have to tow it up there every time we go and keep the new one at our house.

I turn 31 this year and my wife turns 30. We hope we have many, many more years of camping in us.

Everything has been paid for cash.

Bought our first RV (in sig) at age 59. I sure wish we had done it years ago. :B

Started tent camping in early 20's with our two kids. Late 50's bought our 1st camper a new 2007 Fleetwood Pop-Up. Early 60's bought our 1st travel trailer a 2010 27' Dutchmen Classic. Now it is the grandchildren that go camping with us.

We are 25 and 26 and just purchased our new to us class C. We're excited to get out and travel with our 3 little ones.

I was 30 when we got our first TT, a '69 Layton 21'. We have had popups,Hi-Lo, and 4 MH since. We are now a little older now but still enjoy going. That is 44 years of RVing.

Camped when I was little a few times, Took our kids camping shortly after returning to the states. Been tent camping last 15 years or so. Bought a pop-up cash last month (at 43), while saving for a nice class A. The plan is be able to part time in it in 2020 (at 50), and hit the road full time in 2025 (at 55). I discovered last time I went tent camping that my back is not as young as it used to be. I needed something besides the ground to sleep on.

Had the little ones in their own tents by about age 4 or 5. My son now a boyscout has been in is own tent from 3 years old. He is in the woods all the time in the summer, and a few times in the winter.

It doesnt take long to get hooked...when I was a kid I went with my grandparents. They had a suburban and a tt. Growing up I dreamed of the day that I could take my own family camping, Now at 37 I got a suburban and a TT.

I am 37 and my wife is 35. We had never been camping before and decided we might give it a shot. We didn't want to rough it in the Texas heat so we went to the rv store about 1 month ago. Walked out with our TT. Tried it out and really loved it. Totally hooked now and have every weekend booked with camping trips until the 3rd week in June. Wish we would have done this a long time ago.

Wow ! ! I'm really surprised at how young you guys were when you started. I've had my share of toys, but didn't buy our first 20' TT until about 2 years ago at age ? 61 ? That was a test to see if we even liked the RV thing. And guess what, we do. Now we're in the process of getting a 5th wheel for a more permanent / comfortable mode of living.

I'm not sure if I should feel bad about starting at such a late age, or good because I still feel like acting young. Anyway, with all the little details, tricks, and techniques to learn, we'll see if you really can teach an old dog new tricks.
