Mable,
What is a big hang up in your note is the thing about storage of camping gear. That leaves an awful lot open to interpretation.
If you are talking about back-packing (real camping), most can manage that, we do (did). We (used to)carry a lot of stuff that is just for use when away from the coach. (We don't do this as much as we once did because I have developed a bad knee.) But, if your camping gear includes a Coleman stove, a house tent and your Yachtzee, then there will be problems.

Thanks for the input. I'm definitely a "lazy camper" lol! I'm talking camp chairs, tarps, folding table, camp stove, etc. Not glamping, but not sitting on the ground eating MRE's either ;)
I know there's no substitute for climbing in and out of a few dozen rigs, and getting behind the wheel. Unfortunately there aren't enough RVs in my neck of the woods to see the various types in person. I'd just like to narrow down my search somewhat.
Vehicle age isn't an issue for me until it becomes impossible to find service/parts (condition being the determining factor, of course). I'm seeing mostly mid 1990's and newer.
Another option I'm considering is buying a disposable, "hunter special" type to start with - maybe an older Class C for $2-3k. That would probably keep me entertained for a couple summers but wouldn't be my choice for longer trips. Retirement and extended cruising is still about 8-10 years away.
