Is 70 the age to stop towing

This is a fact.. I'm 65, I've been "Estimated" at 55 by POLICE no less, had to show 'em my license to convince 'em of my age."
Some folks 45 look older than me. And some folks 45 ARE older than me when it comes to sharpness of mind and strength of body (But then I'm a Coffee holic)

I have a friend who just celeberated his birthday 2 days ago. Most folks think he is younger than I. he's not.

Many things: HE (And I) both have/had jobs we enjoy for the most part. We are not big Boozers, not smokers, Both Singers, same vocal range in fact.

We both know the LYRICS to Stars and Stripes forever.

Others have jobs they hate, Spend half their pay check at the bar.. Basically remind me of the phrase "Road hard and put away wet" (Horse talk).

THe bottom line is it is not possible to say XX is too old to tow. or drive a class A. however I can say 150 is likely too old.. but then .. Nobody that old.

I think it will hit 15,000.

Yeah, but you cheated!!!! Brought it back from the dead is what you did!

I'll be 80 my next birthday and will quit towing when all these young "whipper snappers" quit having accidents.

My father quit towing his 35 ft airstream at 89. He's 93 now and I'll still ride with him!

I suspect when you say "OH Sh_T, I should not have done that" and call your insurance company, it's time to quit.

I'm glad everyone says no to this....I'll be 70 in a few months.

No, I'm here reading and thinking about everyone of you that are over 70.

A good indication is the when the number of people gesticulating at you increases and you wonder why. :)

A person should have enough sense to know when it is time to stop towing, based on their abilities. I have a friend who turns 80 this year. He and his wife just took delivery of a brand new 39' fifth wheel, and plan to continue full timing for as long as their health allows. He told me that common sense will let him know when he needs to give up towing.
