average age of rver

49 YOA and did the steps......Tent / PUP / Hybrid / TT!

Cranky Old Biscuit is 152 !

I bought a popup in 1978. In my 60s, I now own a 5er.

I bought my first TT in 1969 to live in for work and now I still RV. That's 45 years now.

Having been to a few RV.Net member rallies, I must agree that there is a friendly group here!

I am about 50, and been Rving since I was 21 with MY RV, but I guess when I was 2 my dad bought a stepvan that someone had converted from a bread truck into a RV with bunks and such.

So the post above where the couple is now in their 50' and kids started RVing when born, their average age is much younger than me. I guess you could say I have been going out in a RV for about 50 years. Even when I was 1, my dad was building a kit cabin at Mt. Palomar. It is still there.

Many years of fun!

We quit smoking in 1990 and the best advice we were ever given was to find a new hobby. We decided that travel seemed like a good idea so we purchased a small TT. We are still smoke free (best decision of our lives) and moved up to a 31' 5er. I'm 67 and my DH is 69.

You'll likely add 25 years to your life by quitting smoking!
congrats on the best decision of your life!

I am 35, been RVing for 4 years.

I do a survey, every time I am at a campground. As far as I can tell, I am more than a few years younger than the average RVer. I will say though, it does't seem to matter one bit. I have met some amazing people over the few years I have been doing this.

Started with a small MH when we were in our 30s, still RVing 30+ years later. :)
