Declining interest in RVing?
Wonder if anyone else experiences this from time to time. I am 73, still healthy and active and we have RV'd 1 way or the other for 44 years; now in a 30 ft. Class C. Like the RV just fine but I find ...

A different perspective, not really about camping...
My father recently passed away from a bad fall at age 95. Until then he had been quite active. From my seat, I'd recommend that those of you in your 70s who have lost spouses and/or are done RVing, stay active! Mind and body. Especially socializing. My dad was a non-RV snowbird to Florida, and had all sort of social groups both in IL and FL. Plus hobbies and interests. I'm convinced all that kept him healthy and of sound mind.
He outlived my mom and then 2 more women, and the each of their deaths were hard on him, as you'd expect. But he had their companionship, which was invaluable. I hope this does not sound preachy, because that is not my intent. I'm just saying, if he was here today to talk to those of you in your 70s, you'd be amazed at all the things he did from his 70s onward. Smash the rocking chair!
Good luck to all of you with your decisions.
