There's must be something wrong with us since we've only owned one. We did rent for awhile till we were ready and bought our C new in 04 and we've had it ever since. Not broken in yet as it only has 44K miles. Unfortunately we are only able to travel in the summer due to familial responsibilities but when we go we GO!! DW has actually brought up moving to a "small" Class A but we'd have to go back into debt for awhile and we're used to being debt free now so I don't see it happening unless she wins the lottery.

Same here with our 05. Thought about starting small also but my wife insisted get what we want and be done with it! Not sure if we'll ever upgrade.. Took our time buying this one and got the floor plan we wanted.

You are a rare breed! I am sure you have saved thousands by getting what you wanted to begin with.

This has been great thanks for all the posts!

Lets see grandparents popup back in the early 60's. Parents 10.5' cabover camper that we moved coast to coast in and then camped in CA with. My personal started with a 72 Ford van, back van's were the in vehicle, followed by an 75 Dodge van. these had carpeted floors all the walls covered and insulated with an icebox behind the drivers seat. Put thousands of miles on those two during my time in the Marines.

Now move on to a tent and sleeping bag strapped to the motorcycle, think Then Came Bronson for those old enough!

Few years of that met wife to be and started camping out of 4X4, 47 Willys pickup to start with then 85 Dodge Ramcharger, thought we were styling now we got a/c everything inside, including my dogs!

Few years later our first rv proper, a 1990 Airex 30' class A. We had it in a rental fleet when weren't using it and used it when we wanted mostly.

After coming out of the fleet kids were getting older and busy and the motorhome went away as we just weren't using it.

Back to Ramcharger and tent for annual campout at the like with ski boat.

Latest all but youngest out of the house back into a class A 2006 Dolphin 36' we bought brand new in 07 and still driving today!
