I did hear about a Airstream owners club member who forgot to put the pin in the hitch receiver, and drove "towards" a camp out. Many of the Airstream owners club where in their 80's.
As long as they can remember to hook up the RV correctly, and have the vision needed to see 300' down the road, and keep track of what is around them, can back up fine, and drive defensively, they should be good to go camping.
However limited vision, forgetfullness, and the in-ability to set up and take down the campground woudl be good reasons to give up camping. Might be time to get another driver, and he can still tag along.
Leaving the trailer at a campground is also a excellent idea too.
